Hi Rich,
Just had a word with JV about a write up with some background and pictures, so more to come.
The engine is a 9A 2ltr 16v fitted with a Garrett T3 turbo. Boost is about 9psi and hp is est 225/235 ish, hard to say. Was on the rollers last year and made 207 at 7psi using a different fuel system.
Will be drag racing again at the end of the month, best pass last year was 13.96, will try to better that if it is dry.
There are a couple more pictures in the gallery.
Steve.
