cut a big hole in the rear apron and drive everywhere in reverse, that will keep the engine cool... or give the engine to somebody who knows how to take care of it.

smartest thing ive heard all year, you need a medal, no seriously Rolling Eyes im not being sarcastic Rolling Eyes you seriously deserve a medal it must of taken all your brain power, to work that one out, so what do you reckon then, plasma cutter, angle grinder i mean its genius, drive it in reverse with a big hole in the back, why didnt i think of that, i reckon you should enter a competion about the best idea ever thought off this year, youd sure to win it

and why give someone an engine thats pretty much shagged to someone to look after. "here look after my engine for me"
"yeh ok, just put it down on the coffee table, ill make it a cup of coffee, give it some pillows"
"cheers"

suppose if i give it someone ill be loosing out on money but, then it does leave space in the back for another engine, id imagine trying to shoe horn another engine it at the same time would be a bit difficult.

anyone know what would be better, high pressure or low pressure turbo? low pressure turbos are pretty easy to pick up for pennys

thanks, i already have a medal. i'll post pics when i can get ahold of a camera Wink but i think i'd be facing some limp competition for that best idea medal. a log splitter should work for the apron hole.
really though, there are turbos available that allow you to regulate the pressure boost. try a search in the performance forum, i'm sure theres something already written on the subject.

just use a t3 or similar. Boost is adjustable. Are you going to use FI or carbs?
