i had one of these with an xpack body kit........ in 1991. i got stopped by the police as apparently it had been used in a robbery from the previuos owner. eventually the turbo blow. it was a fun car

@metroturbomatt Not a chance it was running 131bhp with just a 3psi increase in peak boost, Baldwin knows how to tweak a SU needle correctly but the rolling road for figures is useless! If it had a genuine 131bhp the gearbox would of popped.

Road-A-Matic would be something wallice would call one of his machines. :L

i don't know if any1 can help on the dash what is the orange light below the red handbreake lights

@metroturbomatt that shows you don't have the first clue about cars, airflow, vacuum, velocity, filters and boost/wastegate.
drilling a filter housing lowers power, a K&N is not a filter so it causes pitting in the turbo and altering the wastegate is a crude method, that's why the turbo was hot.

thats what im thinking of doing ????,thats what im on here to to find any clips,how cheap would it be,doner car 300,base of the car 300,then conversion cost and a car that would be 0 to 60 in easy 5 and easy 150mph!,not sure about looks and handling but at the cost and speed it must be worth it and a great change to the corsa/nova,...if you know of any,let me know,cost of conversion would be nice to know,...x
my mate is after one of those engines to go in his mini. See you at santa pod.

how did you get 131 from a standard turbo 1275 which standard produces 95bhp

full race spec exhaust system, carb rebuilt using new o.e parts and a smooth butterly, air box drilled fresh air side of air box, k&n direct fit filter, boost increased to 7-10psi as opposed to 4-7, throttle needle profiled to match fuelling to boost and set on the rolling road. 131bhp in a shopping trolley is a hell of alot of fun!
