Mike Cowley's 1.6 8v turbo

[scott.parker]

Some of you might know this car, but if you don't go check it out in the features, its got an engine from another old car of here (NovaNeil's)

Well it's going through a transformation at the mo, so looks a bit odd, but it got mapped up the week back and is now running better, not perfect though but we thing this is due to the plugs, it ran 191bhp :cool:

Standard rear back on with my old back box from my system

[staggy_gsi]

thats an impressive spec, and very impressive power!!

[craig green]

1.6 8v turbo's are fantastic. Gotta love the way the boost comes in just off idle. No lag at all.

Really wish I still had mine. I would've been the owner of this engine had I not chosen to give mine to Courtenay.

Get some in car vids please Scott.

[tom_beverley]

I must say I'm so very tempted to build a 1600 8v turbo!! Maybe in a couple of years when I tire of the T40's...

Haha! Thats my Spec :D Dam I miss that engine! And yes its only running 10psi and no water injection now. Apart from that the spec is virtually as above.
