Here is my first project. I picked up this beast for £1,800.. 164k miles on the clock suspected faulty turbo, and rear wheel bearing gone, on the test drive the turbo still hit boost okay, grinding noise when it comes of spool and didn't seem to be over heading at all, and no cream in the head! I don't mind about the miles its going to get rebuilt and turned in to a track car.
my plan is to forge the engine, hybrid turbo, aiming for 330bhp, stripped out, roll cage the lot.
no messing about had the car a few days and its up on axle stands getting stripped!
On further inspection this appears to have a vxr turbo! this should save me some money on the hybrid!
every bloody bolt was rusted to shit had to drill them out!
just
Just a few hours work in preparation to get the engine out tomorrow!
