Righty, what parts would you need to do in order to see 400bhp from a LET engine. Im guessing a lot of uprating internals wise, obviously rebuild it from scratch while yer there anyway but what sort of turbo and management would be required. No why's, what car etc etc, just need to know so i can price it all up as beginning of next year i could have a little project on my hands, money providing

going rate for c20let and gear box - anything from 900-1500. (that should be with a F28 gearbox). u need atleast the F28 gearbox for 400 bhp wouldnt really wanna try 400 on f16 or f20.
not sure on other bits ask muppetsport

Cool, can sell off other bits then. Gonna be kind of a father, father in law and son project going on, rather than pay people to do the work

Well, lets see what the little inheritance bird brings in the new year then, see what can be done. Might take a year to build, but im in no rush. I can see Mr Lee Mitchell and Tim and muppet may be getting a lot of pestering u2u's if it all happens

long story, ive been thinking about it for a long time and its quite possible i could be inheriting anything from 2k to 20k, so i thought what the hell, ill look into it. At the end of the day there is no harm finding out about it now, as ill deffo have the money in a years time anyway, so im just preparing myself for it all. If it happens, superb, if it doesnt, nothing lost.

it all sounds cheap priced out in a way, but there are all the random parts that cost the money and all add up and up to more cost
ps, oil spray bars necessary and also maybe the lower block girdle
