Well done Steve!

With 300bhp it will be nearly as quick as a bike engined car

Steve

Nearly as quick?

Look like a Robin Hood? Hmm, not sure about that one..

Anyway, its a 2L T series Turbo from a 1994 800 Vitesse, will be mated to a Supra W58 gearbox I have lying around. Better ratio's than the LT77 and nice smooth change.

May take a little while to fettle mind

Is this going in post SVA then?

That's got to be the quickest case of upgradeyitis ever.

Mike

Luverly - should really shift

Great choice if you ask me

Well, got it in the garage now... its going to be a challenge all right. The bloody things 27 inches tall and the water pump's the size of a house thats combined with the PS pump.

I've offered the W58 box up and that looks fairly straightforward. (I wrote that with me fingers crossed!)
BUT, challenges are just that and I WILL make it fit! Previous owner had it dynoed in his 220Gti at 210bhp Rock on!!
