Hi Guys

I don't know if this is true or not - http://pistonheads.com/sales/64206.htm

I suppose with the turbo wound up that high the figure is acheiveable, pretty insane for a 2.7 though isn't it!

Must go like a scalded whippet, is it a zoners car?

13-18psi(348-413bhp)
Those figs are easily achieved using the boost levels hes listed, I'm running 10.2 psi and fozzymonster is on 13.7 on stock bottom ends without issues, both our rides are mondo rapido 8O :lol:

Ԛ£7K for ths whole car is a good deal TBH, sport + conversion is easy 10K unless you can DIY the fabrication, ECU and mapping

i was unsure of this one too, alpina bi turbo running a bar of boost (16psi approx) makes about 380bhp maybe 400 with fueling and timing adjustments. thats from a 3.5 litre lump, obvously masses more torque.
on stock internals and 5 psi i was running 265bhp am 315 lb of torque fro a 3.5.

dips old 2.5 m20 turbo was making 295bhp on 16psi, not sure of the torque figure though

ant how much are your 2.5 turbo conversions, roughly? (that's not a pm-only thing is it???)
