Conversion was not easy as i did not want to cut towers or tunel everything has been customised around those areas to fit, e.g exhaust/ intake manifolds. Engine mounts and trans crossmember were modified and engine pushed forward to clear the c4 bellhousing.

Post by: Xrayman on January 15, 2019, 08:53:31 am: Very nice work. I've never driven a BF or FG V8, but my daily drive is a chipped FG6ET - in my experience, what turbo's lack in sound, they make up for in shove :omg:

Post by: jiffy on May 31, 2019, 11:20:42 am: Wow - sounds pretty tuff!

Loved the power curve on the Dyno, lots delivered REALLY early there, the experience of that would require a strong seat-back...
