Lovely BPT, makes me miss my one from back in NZ frown

Did you buy it like that or do the work yourself?

I brought it back in 2008 - totally stock.

Super7auto's did the work back in August of this year so we could get it to Rotorstock smile

Nice one, What sort of power is it pushing out? Fancy going J-Port or anything else on the cards? Any 1/4 mile times?

Only running 0.7bar at the moment, so around 300bhp. Once I have the rear axle sorted we can start putting some proper boost through it and could see as much as 600bhp biggrin

That's a lot of power going through the standard diff, any plans for RX7 ones or a hilux diff? Would love to see some more pics of it.

We're looking in to options for the rear diff - will either be a modded S2/3 axle or a hilux smile

Love how the turbo dominates the engine block...

Wicked.

This looks like a right laugh. I also didn't know what a Mazda Montrose was.

This is a definition of a sleeper, direct this to the sleeper thread some people can't grasp it!

Any pictures of the build?

Well yeah. Sounds like a 2 stroke I love it. Looks like there is quite a lot of room in that engine bay?

Quite a bit of space in some directions - but a bit tight length wise. smile

Handling is spot on though biggrin
