2,5l 16 valve Penta engine, custom exhaust manifold to house turbo (I think it was holset hx40, but can't remember for sure), burns rubber at 3rd gear when flooring according to owner of car, has welded diff and driveline from 360 (car is 340 saloon), front springs where from 164 but cutted if I don't remember wrong.

Offical hp readings are maximum what law permits, that is with ignition set wrong and rev limited to under 5000rpm also boost set to minimum.
Car has megasquirt so it is fuel injected, also megascuirt controls coil on plug ignition, coils from VW and I think it used ~1.3bar boost on track settings revving bit higher than 5000, power should be somewhere around 300hp maybe more, I think ;)

Recently broken transmission (have broken some driveline parts before) and Innovative WB lambda has had problems.

There has been at least two more such monster 300 in here, but not much info available from those.

He said it accelerates faster than my mates BMW 325i. I've drivin a 325i however, and I also think my 340 pulls harder.

So, kind of sleeper is born
