How are u making this rwd? mounting engine where? wat rear alex if mounting engine in front? Whats the spec of the turbo engine

oadamo · 25th March 2007, 16:46

iam gonna mount the engine in the front with a prop to the back to a kitcar type irs. that iam gonna make myself so it sould be a good fit.and easy
ive got a rs turbo engine dynod at 218bhp and that was with a duff wastegate so it might be capable of more but iam gonna run it on low b
oost so it lasts. and plus it will be cheap when it gos wrong and you can get the parts from anywhere

iam logging it all down so when its done ill upload it with drawing and sizes and info on wot to do all you will need is a welder grider and basic tools and the cost of the steel and engine

Will be interesting to see it progress.

KamRacing · 25th March 2007, 22:43

Nice one. Keep us posted will be interesting to see how you do this compared to my own approach in my 309.

Not sure I'm completely convinced about the engine choice lol but I'm a big fan of the compact and light Duratec engine... 220bhp with standard internals and TBs. You can get gearboxes so you can mount them longitudinally also.
Nearly went for that myself.

Pleased you went for RWD though. So many go straight for 4wd and miss all the fun

Mattsaxo · 25th March 2007, 22:50

Good luck mate, thats 1 hell of a project

oadamo · 25th March 2007, 22:56

the engine choice was a pain in the arse. i was gonna fit a bike engine or a v6 (i did buy a v6) but then i tough about how much room there was. so i was looking for a turbo engine that was cheap and could be mounted rwd .if the diff gos there only £20 from the scrapyard so i could keep a couple spare then if somthing gos wrong id have it back on the road in no time.and on the plus side a yb will fit when i get bored with the rs engine.
