Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

^ hmm. We thought about doing this with the van. Lots of money later its back in pieces! lol

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

ive got a set of turbo pistons going spare mate

13.95 1/4 mile on a 2.95 fd. Carnt be that hard to beat!

standard turbo pistons with total seal rings are a good option if your standard bores are in good condition.

Robert. Pleas stop shattering my illusions...

Even more insane boost to come, along with an intercooler which would be more at home on a Scania.

I would demand a far wad of cash back, a good na engine is a good start for a turbo engine, either get some standard turbo pistons with new rings and honed, or go 1293 and get some decent cast pistons.

yeah stick the bit in and give it a wobble

Was it this one? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mg-Metro-turbo-engin...=item2a0fc28ebd

Thats the one Gavin! I didnt pay 99p for it though lol That really would have been nice.

I might have to take you up on that offer Eden. How much do you want for them mate? Il pick them up when i get back to uni in 2 or 3 weeks.

I had a big job interview for a graduate job today and im absolutely shagged so im just about to send the bloke an email and ask for some money back. Waaay too tired for having a bitching session on the blower. Might as well keep the engine now seeing as it should be a decent starting engine to go from.

Il call him tomorrow if i don't get an agreeable response.

It is a decent starting point, but you shouldn't have paid more than £250 max.

I suppose you finished this outside of eBay too. In which case you will have this fight all to yourself with no support from eBay/paypal.

Do you know any large lads? Lol

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Yes, i did offer to buy it outside of ebay which is why i know i don't really have any leg to stand on other than bank on these people having a conscience.

Just sent an email so hopefully i get a decent response.

And yes i do know a few big boys but doubt whether they'd actually fit in the mini to get down there - unless the parents consent to give lifts to go and 'say hello' lol

In that case forget getting any cash back, you've shit it.

erm not sure how much there worth rele. there on con-rods too

how much are they worth people?

I'd say £70-£80 as it will cost £100-ish for a set of rings from total-seal

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

thats wat i was thinkin john. il take 70 for them then
