Thats one crazy 2.0 8v

[wilson_sri]

How much is that in bhp? 250+?

[Adam]

Probably more around 270/280

NICE :cool:

[matt_vaughan]

that exhaust manifold is fandabidoozle. i'm assuming its to so twisty to avoid cooling systems.

[Nick]

271 Bhp :)

[adam c]

looks really good:cool: .i like the way the airfilter has been relocated.have you got any more pics of it?

[General Baxter]

check out the flair on the wong lol

edit : whats a wong

WING :P

[wilson_sri]

271! thats a hell of a lot for a 8v :cool: Somebodys certainly setting the benchmark for anyone else trying it! lol

Il ask the boy on corsasport and see if he has anymore. Trying to get the engine spec aswell.

cut a 4inch hole in the inner wing, and another in the lower valance, pipe it all up and hey presto ;)

[Adam]

A guy on Mig already has one of a similar spec, and has done for a few years iirc.
Its done 12s at Pod

Matt_vaughan-"Wiggly" pipes are to make them all an equal length.

[BenNova]

now that is shiny. Oh and fast of course.

[shy witness]

beautiful to be honest

My 2.0 8v Turbo makes 262bhp and is basically an LET bottom end, 8v head and cam and a T34 Turbo :) With Nitrous to follow.

[peester]

8v turbo is gonna b e one that got away from me, for me.. always wanted to do it..
thats brill, glad to see it still being doen to such perfectness..
the chrome, clean 8v turbo-ness reminds me of that old skool deep blue Chris T (?) pressure cooker nova.. dare alloys..

[craig green]

There is a german company producing turbo kits for the big block 8v. I'll find the link to the site if I remember.

That does look nice though.
