Yer mine :lol: but with the stronger 8 valve head :wink:


yeah Ian,,, Yours will be a better engine all round really, with what we`ve learned along the way with this one :-) Turbo donks are a little less forgiving to ign timing discrepancies, so we`ve made a few "adjustments" to our design :-)

we`ve also found that if the waste gate actuator hose pops off the diaphram that the turbo will boost well past 20lbs :-) They go """REALLY""" fast then :-)

Hey PhatKat

yeah A+ box, all fully overhauled with cross-pin diff, lightened flywheel & steel back plate, full comp clutch plate, & grey diaphram that`s been "Re-designed" to give 1600lbs clamping pressure

I doubt the owner will drive it like i would tho :-)

There is nothing like a bit of free boosting to get the engine really working :lol:
