Engine built and ran in, so as long as transport company don't let me down it will be in Bristol Mon 15th.

C'mon Leighton, work your magic

I will be clucking to see what power he can get out of my new build

Really hope after all the work you put in you get what you want, fingers crossed it all goes well mate.

I want a ride in it once you get it back up the road

Up to you now leighton, good luck

Looks good, what you aiming for 400+?

We all know Leighton will and always does his best, good luck.

Thanks Ronnie!

Yeah aiming for 400+ ... will be rather gutting if it fails to reach it tbh.

Pistons, rods, turbo etc aint cheap and quick to do

What's the complete spec mate?

Also good luck!!

Yeah I know. Well fingers crossed, look forward to seeing the result!

Thanks, i'll post it up in 5 mins Marco

I've just had mine rebuilt as well, wonder if there the same spec, lol, as I'll be aming for same figures!!

Good luck and hope you get the figures you want or more

I have prob forgot some parts but thats the main?!?

@ Zonta, thats interesting as I have a GT28RSR at the minute and will be going bigger soon, good luck

@Razor, sounds promising for 400bhp.

Fingers crossed anyway mate!

Don't forget to add pic's please.......

i added a couple of pic's at the top mate

With all the work you put in and forged components, why did you not go for a bigger turbo?

Because i dont want lag lag lag boost.

GT2871r is apparently good enough for 450bhp, i thought it was a big-ish turbo to be honest.

Also being a turbo known to spool up quite quickly.

What housing on your turbo are you running out of interest?

Hmm, no SIP...

You should make the magic 400bhp club!
The manifold looks nice... Fingers crossed that's the key to more power for you

I like the look of the belt guard. Any other benefits over the OE unit or just fancy something different ?

.64 housing apparently.


Yeah fancied something different with the cam cover but ofcourse its stronger than the plastic, if one of those power steering belts decides to break up then it aint coming through to cutt the timing belt

Good luck,yup good choice of turbo for everyday use,fast spool up and beefy too....rest of spec sounds good too

If you dont mind me asking, who is taking the car down ? my car has been due to go down to Barbz and then leighton for ages, but I`ve been let down 3 times transport wise...
Best colour of coupe by the way

Ahh i forgot ....Just so happens mines is Sprint Blue too

Thanks lad

5 star vehicle deliveries... Owner is a good friend ;-)

Ahh the good old sprint blue, a fine colour if i may say so myself lol

better when its got a bit of sparckle in it

What's the logic for the ebv over an ebc like avcr etc?

Good luck looks like a great spec.

I love the look of that tubular, who made it? I want I want

Marco you would have to show off ;-)


The tubular was made by a Chap from Russia, i wont name names at this time... Multiple PM's lol

Your engine, my body work... Match made in heaven!!

Marco, I always knew you were but sheesh dude, calm down.
