    I didn't think it was possible for me to love your car any more than I already did. Turns out I was wrong.

    How it looks like at Zurawski's workshop.

    BorgWarner turbo fitted to the exhaust manifold.
    He's done waaaaay more work now so I'm pretty excited to see more pictures :)

    The engine in that pic is his own mockup engine.

    Hmmm, you think my usual 225/45/17's won't suffice anymore? :( :p

    I'm going to use 245/40's as it will be too expensive to run wider tyres as I don't have any support from that side :(

    Ha, 245's will be fun! I'd imagine you'll have double the torque of the S50?
    Look forward to your driving with the power :)

    Lookin awesome Kev!

    If you want a little easier routing on the radiator pipes, take the hot water from the back of the head to the rear-mount rad, and then block off the front triangular port next to thermostat housing.

    You can even cut the whole thermostat section off the head and run S54 water pump with a trimmed timing chain cover to clear.

    A bit of work yea, but it simplifies the coolant piping a lot

    Thanks Sean :)

    Well, the work is being done for me by Thomas so I'm just going to let him do what he does best :D
    The fabrication work should be near to complete. Only the ECU and it's wiring is left to be done but I will hear from Thomas when that is done (y)
    Then engine work etc...

    Long time no updates..

    Got the car back a while ago, engine is back together. New Tilton twin plate clutch is on, engine and gearbox back in the car. Rear subframe bushes upgraded and reinforced.

    Now just hooking everything back up and connecting the wiring etc..

    Hi,
    Nice turbo build, how much Hp are you looking for ?
    Do you know if there is some Drift track day in Belgium ? I find nothing except the drift cup at Zolder circuit.
    Keep going, your car look awesome !
