Thought about using a YBx in the roadster.. Cost is quite high really compared to other options. a VX 2.0 LET it probably a cheaper option to High power turbo power.

I like the Cossy engine in both turbo and N/A form.
In turbo form the world is your Lobster as far as BHP is concerned.
I do think however that the Duratec is the way forward and probably cheaper in the long run
Just my humble opinion.

I would love one too...

But if you think about it.. it's a 25YR old modification of a 40 year old engine!

What it has going for it is that every tuner in the land has probably done many of them

There's plenty of modern turbo engines, just not lots of gearboxes to go with them.

A Volvo T5 B5234T Engine mated to an M90 would be awesome!
