It is a bit different.. Im puting 4 injectors on the bends in the intake runners and 4 in the plenum, i would have loved to keep the runners straght but no room under the bonnet.The runners are 18" long.
It should make about 300hp at 8400rpm, a 36mm mandatory restrictor will limit the output to somewhere near this.

looking good! is that a blade adjustable type front sway bar I see?

can't wait for this beast to hit the track. I think the 1200cc turbo is a great formula for IPRA - an U2L car with potential to win outright!

Na, I Sold the blade to a mate in Kyneton. It was too long by about 50mm to work properly. The one in the pic is still very adjustable. It`s 1+1/8" x .065" 4130 tube with adjustable and removable end arms, so i can also go up or down a bar size very quickly during a practice session. And all still lighter than the standard bar..Are you still racing??

The engine is tilted toward the LHS to ensure the water outlet in the head is at the highest point to prevent air pockets being trapped.
