[Peter Gidden]

Recipe

1 freshly built, fully modified Revision 3 engine...

Add a GT3076 turbo

WRC chargecooler

Mix together and fit into an AW11

Expecting well over 400BHP

Is the customer sane? No idea

WRC chargecooler

Genuine TTE WRC charge cooler or a charge cooler from a WRC spec road car?

Will tell you when the customer drops it in to us. Not seen it yet.

To answer the PMs:

The turbo is from KO Racing - yes it is V banded to the downpipe.

Cams are aftermarket. Custom ground for us by a company that has never had a set on an MR2 in Europe. Enough said

Hmmm. From what I know of GT4 days, externally the two (pardon the pun lol) top boxes are "visually" identicle?

This one has a deeper core as i know there are clearance issues to deal with.

[Slarty]

Yeah, ignore what I said lol, was thinking of the difference between the road spec WRC and normal GT4's. Had a blonde moment

Whats being done about the traction issues as after 300 ish in a mk1 there isnt any traction! lethal! fun though

I would be more concerned about the strength of the outer CV joints

Wider wheels, softer tyres, suspension tuning and maybe a little box from Racelogic.

We are working on a permanent, reliable solution. AFAIK, this Mk1 will be the first to have this solution. If successful it will be offered as a conversion.

been done it the us they fitted the hubs from a mk2 so standard turbo cv joints could be used or the uprated ones
