  1. Just turbo what you've got.

    I think mine's actually finished now, so hoping to get out soon.

  3. I think the WO codes are 8.2 ?

    A low pressure turbo wouldn't go a miss tho and those carbs originally came of a turbo engine as I swoped all the bits out ... Although it's easy to say it .... 99.9 % of people would be more than happy with your current motor ....
     
  4. @Paul Weeding what cam would you have used?

    It's all about running cool at speed and accelerating smartly and quietly IMO. Rob and I discussed cams at length on many occasions, but we both felt we liked the all round torquey nature of the standard one. Having previously added lift (ratio rockets) to a 2l T1, it did noticeably perk it up, but I really did want to leave a bit in the tank. :)

  6. Are you certain about that?

    I've not got the laptop open, but one engine ran 8.4, maybe a little more... I'll have to check
     
  7. In a 2366?

    yep mines only 102hp 1968cc although i suspect being diesel it's more tourquey, the same engine is used through the range at 84/102/140/180 bhp the ecu just decides which one you have, remapping is common most go for around 160hp and mega tourque.

    Don't be so sure, I gave away 50hp in favour of grunt. ;)

    0-55 in the t5? 0-60 as factory for the 102 is supposed to be 16 sec.

    That would be empty. Mine's fast if I hadn't changed to 5th at 55. :)
