Hi All.
Thanks for all the good comments
After a few setbacks with things we have got it up and running quite nicely now.
Makes 453hp and just over 500lbft torque at peak of 5000rpm. boost is quite low aswell around 10psi.
after this the cam runs out, Quite pleased with this as there is still 9k left in the procharger rpm limit and maybe a different cam for later devcelopment
Hopefully going to fit it in the car this weekend.
will try and take some more pictures then.
Alex.

I can't seem to raise my jaw off the floor.
What a fantastic bit of kit! Kudos for all the effort going into that, looks great.
Bet it'll pull some stonking figures as well

hi
No it was never meant to be a mud plugga, just to go from a to b quickly no matter what comes up It does have air lockers in both diffs, air suspension heavy duty drive shafts but this was to make it as strong as possible as much as offroad capabillity. It was supposed to have gone to Morroco by now but that will be a bit later now. Maybe go through europe later in the year.
The exhausts, plenum, oil tank, both rads and lots of Metalpipework were done by RS Fabrications in Banbury.

Enthusiasts who are excellent to deal with and their work speaks for itself.
