Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

Its not ideal as you can see its a bit multicoloured. But we all know its not what it looks like, its how it goes...
I would love to have time to repaint all the little items but i'm in danger of missing avon if i do. i can do some more detailing over the winter rebuild.

I know it doesnt take much time to do these little bits but i've been over a month just getting time to do this much!! *happy*





For those that dont know, here's a rough spec:

1293
forged omegas with 15cc dish
full challenge spec head which i cant remember the exact spec of!
Wedged crank
running either a T2 or T25 (depending which i fit!) on mirage manifolds
JKD dog box and drops
Emerald ecu for ignition only at the minute...

green AND red, that's going to be a seriously quick motor!

Is the engine/ turbo install the biggest job? or have you and chassis work to do?

How was this again? Green engines are powerful and red ones are reliable, or was it the other way around? I guess this is best of both worlds then :)

Keep up the good work!

Biggest bit is the ECU wiring i guess. no chassis work or the like to do, purely the engine so shouldnt have a problem getting ready for avon providing nothing big crops up!

Did you have holes cut in the front end for the oil cooler, or was the air ram below the front valance
