quick engine question

Post by RattyCoop » 14 Feb 2012 08:28 pm

Just a quick question for you lot. I was just wondering is there anyone out there that has fitted or thought about fitting a c20let into a 360?
Thanks for your time

Thought about, but it's not that much different than an F7x with all the hassle of not dropping in. Would be interested in seeing someone do it though :)

I'm tempted to give it a go :) just not sure about the bell housing. I guess id have to make a plate to mount it to the block.
Does anyone know of anyone that could make one?

There's SR20DE/T adaptor plates about. That would be my choice over a 'red top turbo' tbh, but everyone has their reasons and preferences. Make it happen. :D

the vauxhall lumps are good but f7r come in 2.0ltrs and its not hard to bolt a turbo up to them and run some power but the problem with all that power is getting it to the wheels ie the prop needs uprating
