Just to note the engine will be running 2.5 bar and the turbo is a T72 Turbonetics

As for the Spec: DKE Custom stroke crank, Arrow Rods, custom pistons, Girdled block, Steel Liners, CNC big valve head with Numonic valves, 8 big injectors, dry sumped etc etc

No expense spared

I'd prefer something that was devised/developed/built by Cosworth in the first place and installed as standard longitudionally in a production car.

So this will have 200bhp + more power, better putting it in a different chassis IMO.

200bhp is too much in a FWD car anyway, never mind 200 "more"

Won't be much point in any gear tbh

I'm guessing there will be some sort of boost limiter to keep the tyres intact? And hopefully a LSD
