I have a turbo Westfield and they’re great fun. I would sell your existing package.

i’m a bit biased but have you thought about an old school cosworth YB engine and T5 gearbox?

Mine was circa 450bhp.

Rebuild verryyy slow as kids happened but will get finished. 550bhp twin scroll turbo set up, rear radiator conversion, bespoke intercooler.
damn...that thing must fly when ready :-)

it was, quite honestly, ridiculous.

On a warm day with warm tyres, acceleration from say 30-130mph was quite brisk. Reyland Motorsport built the engine and it was awesome.

was mapped for v power and ‘someone’ topped the tank off with 95. Holed piston but not before a lot of fun with a 650bhp Gtr, i waved at him and disappeared up the (private) road.

I was a little all or nothing on a GT3076r but i like old school turbos. Intercooling and engine cooling needed improving for more power so that’s what’s been taken care of first.
