The point is simple, a 200bhp B18FT is a safer engine than a 200bhp GTT
the volvo unit will do 170bhp with NO mods whatsoever apart from and ecu remap which is around £80 and it will see 220bhp with a upgraded turbo
the biggest issue is a lack of development, this means that how far it can...
Wow try not to be a d!ck about it!
I was mearly saying that there was a fourm about it and that there is stuff out there for them. Maybe the Gtt lump is better but thats stone age, pushrod and carbs is just bad. Yes they have been developed further cos there is more proplr wanting them, i...

Should be back together by end of Jan, in car by Feb back on road April! :)

to give an example £2.5k spent on a Vauxhall XE lump would gain you some throttlebodies, exhaust manifold and mappable management and...

i know the F4R makes more power in stock trim but how capable are both engines given the same mods
say for instance, stock heads, 285in/275exh degree catcams or similar, throttle bodies, properly...
