phils reportedly made over 600 with nos
if it was running anywhere near that it put in mega shit times at totb couple of years ago! all too easy to get a rolling road to over read and make your demo car looks stupidly powerful.
something like 498bhp@wheels with gas or something. ive got it in a TV somewhere!
theres alot of piss taking about that engine and whoevers got it now got ripped off!

it was after that he started building it for even more power with standalone managent, bigger turbo etc etc...

ste - ill have a look in the TV mag, sure it was more than 500 at fly.
if it was 600bhp then im sure there would be more 600bhp LETs in the UK. local lad to me reckons his manta makes 384bhp on 8psi and thinks its good for over 600bhp an 22psi or something. even though hes known who 'over estimating' and building pooor bhp cars!

could you call it 4x4 as its not on a real 4x4 system as such?
good luck to him getting it to work and drive first. both engines have got to be same power otherwise they will be working against each other and probably be crap like the regal one.

for the spec of the engine components(not mega dear rods, etc) i thought he was at the point a couple of years back of just getting the engines built? and with all the work he and jav do, surely he could of had them built by now? just a shame you dont hear or see much about it now

probably has loads of work on or something and just doesnt have the time. better to earn money than spend it at times. is he still a window cleaner?
