Not a bespoke built unit but I am running a S1 RS turbo CVH in my locost.

It has now fitted with aftermarket ECU, custom radiator,intercooler and oil cooler to keep under bonnet temperatures into sensible limits.

If you are interested let me know and I will pop a couple of photos up.

Mine is not turbocharges but is a adequately powered NA. My advice would be plan your cooling systems very carefully as if you can keep temps under control you have a much higher chance of reliability.

That sounds immense! I've been a fan of the Dakar 4X4 ever since I got a ride round the Exeter Kit Car off road course as a kid.

Just picked up a copy from my local newsagents. I really like the installation in the MNR!
