who on here runs a turbo engine. do you have any probs with cooling because of the rad filling the front hole. because ive got an rs turbo and iam thinking of useing thr engine out of it its got an oil leak on the oilcooler plate but i could fix it when i take the engine out the rest of the cars rusting away but the engines runs fine and boost well and i had it dyno at 185bhp about a year ago do you think this engine will be any good or i was thinking sell it and get a bike engine for the paddle shift
oh its mfi do you no if it would all fit under the bonnet because the metering unit thanks adam
Mr Hicost has got a turbo in his little car, I think he runs the mother of all management systems to keep it under control.

using a nissan with box from a silvia, then connected to ford rear diff
whats it like to get the power down with such a light car
its fine untill the turbo runs up to speed
i was going to buy a 2l 220 engine from the scrapyard but some one hit the back of my rs so its being wroteoff. and its droping apart anyway so i thoght i might aswell use it. i get a lot of torque steer in it as it is so it should be fast in a kitcar
Strange place to put the intercooler!!! With the cavernous 7esque nose you would have thought the scuttle would be the last choice even with a bonnet bulge... Oh well, 400Bhp still sounds good!!!!

It's had a new chassis since then!
It's watercooled now anyway.
