these little beauties , and the cam on the right , are part of the package i ordered many moons ago , basically with a decent cylinder head and some boost , over 500 ponies should be in the bag . a guy in finland is running 805 hp , on them there bits and bobs - i even get a t shirt !

What's ruined any bragging rights that you might of had is that we've now all seen your carpet!!!!

James

i knew somebody would bring that up !!

ahem , err it isnt strictly my carpet !!

just think tho that after a couple of pints and a curry , youd feel right at home .

Well, I like to stick to the important things in life!

Nice matching seat covers too!

James

yes , carpet choice is important

just need to get my crank and block back from the engineers , and we can start !!

Couldn't you just have said the pics were taken at your Granny's house ?

Wots the base engine?

eerrrr I'm guessing Volvo

Yes smartypants, I realise that - but which one?

B230.

I bet it's not cheap to build a 500bhp engine! How much is it going to set you back in total?

Pete

its 2.5K in parts - that covers intercooler , ecu (MS) , getrag ,adapter plate , engine machining and cost of parts .

i would imagine dyno tuning could almost cost as much again , quite easily

That's nothing...
