when you had your 14/16XE on TBs, what sort of power where you running, cos the graph near the piccies says "98bhp @ 8000rpm" this seems like a bit of a low reading to me
what setup were you using?
??

That turbo cover looks the obvoius thing at the minute.
Looks good though
engine mount is solid, when we made it for old engine it was taken to a vulcanisers and filled with rubber

was a standard 16 with an SBD 164 kit on it, ran on MBE, only other mod was zorst
it did 120 miles on a full tank of juice and had to be set up every 6 weeks in London to run right.............it cost a fortune to keep on the road but was the best fun ive ever had in car
TBs have come on a long way since then aS this was one of the first kits SBd did in 1997

sbd quote 164bhp on a standard C16XE
i'm trying for 160bhp out of my 1.4 if possible
the company doing the work said they'll do the headwork free if it doesnt crack 150bhp on the rollers without it
