just so you know, the bonnet's kicked up on purpose to make room for the turbo...

also of interest is the one inch suspension travel all round, there was more movement in tyres than suspension

would give you bruised ribs and rip up tarmac goin round corners before it'd let go

was for cooling too, but the work he did to the firewall meant the bonnet cocked up. Last time he had it dyno'd was around 130-140, thats on 1293 turbo intercooled, head work etc etc

Sadly it's no longer with us, he had to sell it to come to uni, a guy in the US offered him 8k for it

I remember when my mate first put the adjustable boost valve in, turned it the wrong way to begin with and ran seriously silly boost, detonation was an understatement

He went thru three g'boxes and a couple of melted pistons at different points too

Any pointers for fitting the C20XE into a Mk2 Escort? The Mini seems like a nice idea, but if the engine doesn't go into the Corsa it's going into the 'scort instead.
