Re: Twin Turbo & Superchargers

[danielpwillis@xxxx]

Hi James,

>From the info I've been given in the past - there is but one twin 
turbo in the country (that is known) and the owner is not a member of 
any club. Supercharging isn't really popular with our engines and if 
it is done, it's usually with a new engine (like a Rover V8).
Ask the Americans on DMCNEWS.... :-)

Martin is currently gathering some notes on turboing for himself and 
me (I'm interested in raising the bhp) and he can tell you all you 
need to know (it'll cost you between £3k and £6k).

Turboing the auto is possible.... though it probably isn't worth the 
hassle.

INSTEAD.... and Martin can take over here.... raise the power by 
using off the shelf parts (again, Martin...) and get things like 
porting/polishing/boaring done. Apparantly 240bhp from a well tuned 
naturally aspirated block is not unheard of.

And the name you are after is Tony Lawther... nice bloke too.

Cheers,
