Yes mate thats right. Not planning big boost. Just a bit of fun. No more than 10psi should see me with 115bhp or so.

Nice build, you make it look too easy! That Astra intercooler is a nice fit.

Were you planning to cafe-racer the back of the bike?

Pistons are +20 AE rover jobs. So should take some abuse. They have taken a few years of 7500rpm but only a few hundred miles of boosted power. It was the headgasket that always let go first lol

I really like the 'scrapyard' bit of the build, the ic and pipes look made for it! You did make it look proper easy too.. engine out.. engine back in turbod simples

Finally back at this... All rust repair has been completed along with tubbing the rear arches. Inner sills have also been internally braced with inch box which is attached to the rear subfamily bolts and seat belt mount.





the shell was then fully stripped to bare metal before being sent out to get some lovely two pack paint applied.
