Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

I ran my bog standard mg metro engine at the RR and got 48bhp a the wheels, apporx 72bhp at the flywheel.

That had k&n and 2 " exhaust and LCB.

Wouldnt whack a turbo on the mg metro engine as standard as the CR is too high but std metro turbos are 93bhp at the flywheel, roughly 60bhp at the wheels.

I am more than interested to know about the spacer plate ?

Assume you are going for a simple way to lower compression without machining the head ?

I still toying with the idea of two head gaskets .... for that 5 minutes of realiablilty !!

Please let me know what happens regarding the plates ; I am up 4 one ...
