Widar, don't tell me there's a power limit in Sweden, like in Finland... Smile

SuperHessu, damn, what kind of turbo does you friend run?! 2.2bar?! Huh

I think that we Polish guys are fortunate - a month ago the government introduced a new law that allows you to change engines freely, even without going to this MOT office, and you don't even have to change the numbers in your car's papers - that's because there's no place to put the engine number in!

Ahhh, VTEC. All the lag, none of the turbo. It's like waiting for bad sex.

He's not a friend of mine, I've just read of his project in fintoys-forum, as I'm sure Jani has too... Don't remember/know his current turbo, but at some point he had a track-racing-truck turbo, don't remember if he ever installed it...

Jani, if all goes well, we'll have a race next summer on a fintoys-track-day..?

Totally rebuilding an AE86...

SuperHessu, do you know if that turbo was a Holset? From what I know, it's quite popular in Scandinavia to use them in these crazy BMW turbo conversions, as they're available at a lower price than most of the well-known turbo brands. Smile

Ahhh, VTEC. All the lag, none of the turbo. It's like waiting for bad sex.

The guy actually lives in the same city as I do and I see his car occasionally in summertime (it's the other of the two coupés here - the other one being Ni-Go's). I think he's running a Holset HX40 turbo on it but I'm not absolutely sure - the rumor has it that the car made 426bhp when he dynoed it last year. Quite understandably, he doesn't really boast around with the dynoed power figures, given that the car is registered for 149bhp or less. Here's a photo of the engine bay, found on RMF's website.

Anyway, since Finland is apparently a heaven for bureaucrats, we have all these stupid laws which are pretty much made just to annoy us car enthusiasts. Sad Still, from what I've heard, we're still better off than, say, californians.

Mr. Doricar - haha, I wonder what the law enforcement would've thought of seeing me driving it through Sweden. Big Grin

Superhessu - sure thing, given that I have the car up and running by that time. I'll do my best, though! Smile I think, by the way, that the 20v block just says "4A" just like the 16v ones - the serial number is of course different but I'm not sure whether it's mentioned at all on the registration papers? Also, at least on a silvertop, just removing the center panel covering the spark plugs makes it look somewhat similar to a 16v. The throttle bodies may require a bit of explaining but adding them to a "16v" is not illegal. Smile

Well, I went to the garage yesterday just take a small peek under the carpets but ended up stripping most of the interior and chipping off about half of the sound deadening material on the floor. Smile Found a bunch of rust spots already patched but no rust holes anywhere - for a 318000km car the body is surprisingly good! The corners underneath the rear bumper look a bit dubious but it seems to be all metal despite the fair amount of putty on top of it.

I've added some photos to my image gallery;

Here's a photo of the current state of the interior;

Huh Huh Huh Holy crap, that's some serious power!

The car really does look good considering the odometer state. We-want-more, we-want-more! Hurray!

Ahhh, VTEC. All the lag, none of the turbo. It's like waiting for bad sex.
