engine is now a 1.4 and turbo'd limited to 16psi by the clutch and going strong also converted to ford waisted spark coil pack and dual VB921's as the standard rover coil setup couldnt take boost, constant missfires.

running the msns-e extra code and larger injectors and car runs like a dream!

engine is now running 4x VW coil on plug ignitors, a very large T28 and with a red line of 8000rpm produced both peak torque and peak power right on the limiter of 330bhp and 220ft/lb respectively.

engine was stripped for inspection after the above power run and everything was in tip-top shape, not even the slightest sign of detonation, engine is now back together and being used daily, weather permitting.




Showing coils, the bodyshell also recieved a nip and tuck at this point.


original engine build, with the rover coupe turbocharger it made 200hp / 170ft/lb@1bar of boost.



same again, first fit of turbocharger, before boost hoses and lines were ran



home made uprated clutch with twin pressure plates, so far so good

Engine is now in the 11's still a standard 1400cc bottom end, vvc exhaust camshafts, 8000rpm limit, 9.5:1 CR, 2 bar of boost and a large dose of methanol injection to stave off detonation. supprisingly capable little lump.

Still on the ms1 -extra-hires code, may have to swap over to the ms2 cpu shortly when i moove to bigger injectors to try keep a sane idle.
