very very nice! that monster + wet roads.... have fun

looks sweet too, just throwing it out there but is a bonnet really necessary? covering that up would be a sin! either that or make a clear one?

it does seem a shame to cover it up. but... if the noise of the turbo or waste gate chatter doesn't give it away the dump valve will

its been hard going ronnie glad you enjoyed the article. doing the roadster and the exocet at the same time as well as a 60 hr week at work is really wearing thin so im glad the roadster just needs a days work to have it road worthy biggest challenge will be mapping it to take advantage of the power but not make it too mental to have fun. the pinto didnt scare me. im hoping this will

Looking great Ash, that certainly looks fast just standing still ,
Nice work mate.

That looks quite a big cutout on the bonnet scoop,

Looking forward to seeing & hearing that engine in action .

cheers

What sort of chargecooler are you using Ash?
I've been trying to work out what intercooler to use on my build, cos i can't seem to find any cheapish chargecoolers apart from the ebay ones but you still need to get a pump, rad and tank for them

its a pace charge cooler off an rs cosworth.

its the one at the bottom of this page. it should be good for some serious boost considering it cost more than the engine.
