Pics of 27 litre Rolls Royce Meteor engine installation
Discussion
I'll come and say hi, that thing looks awesome, can't wait to hear it in the flesh 
Look forward to seeing you there. We have 5 litres of Millers Oil and PPC T Shirts to give away to new subscribers too.
Will and I are driving down in the Rolls on Thursday morning, and Kev and Charley and following up in the Rover. It should make for an interesting convoy. We took the Rolls down the strip at the Pod on Sunday, I'll try and put some footage of that up later. It also did the Autotest there. Which might explain why Kev is fixing a Rolls Royce driveshaft tonight..
We took her to Le Mans where a very nice man indeed, gave us a supercharger for it. Since then, another very nice man indeed seems to have given us two T25’s turbos for it as well.

Yup, 2.
2 T25’s will give a steady 450bhp with little lag, but thats using every lag reduction trick in the book, except anti lag fuelling because flames out of the exhaust were deemed ‘inappropriate’ when new. We aren't as constrained though.
And what it'll do with a supercharger, who knows?

Come and see us at Goodwood (we're near the cricket pitch), experience the Rover firing up and if you're wearing any Pistonheads merchandise, we'll give you a PPC T, free.
Merlin and practical in the same sentence... Surely some mistake 
And when's it going to be fired up in anger locally
I tried to download it last night and was scuppered by a thunderstorm induced power cut. I lost heart after that, and drifted off to the footy. I'll finish it tonight.
Either way, come and see it for yourself mebbe?

Al, I know this engine isn't exactly rev-happy but I'd be hugely surprised if you can't go a bit bigger than a T25 without having lag problems! They were used on things like the Nissan 200SX etc with engines of around 1.6-2.0l. You might well be talking about a completely different T25 though . . . looking at the pic of the kid with the turbo that looks more like a T76 or something (Garrett nomenclature). With your engine characteristics (low revs, big displacement) I reckon you could easily use diesel truck turbos to move some serious air, anywhere from 500-1000bhp per turbo? By selecting the right exhaust a/r ratio you could have full boost only a couple of hundred rpm above idle to massively boost mid range torque, or go a bit bigger on the exhaust housing to allow more hp at high rpm at the expense of a little bit more lag. I'm sure you boys know your stuff, but if I can help at all with compressor maps or sourcing a suitable unit (or 2) just say the word.
