Whoa..... That's incredible, awesome car! That BMW scoots right along too.

What blow off valve and wastegate are those? They both look really sweet. Haha I like how you shaved off the VOLVO from the valve cover. You must have HUGE injectors if there's only 4 of them! And what engine management?
 
Ive been looking for more pics of your car...
What happened to the Impellerheadz webpage?
Youra is the koolest 142 on the planet....looked great when white
 
:omg:

Your website has been down for a long time- is there somewhere I can get all the details on your car? It's a pretty big influence on my own 142 16v turbo project.
 
The blowoff is from the bmw boys "pure performance factory" www.pure-pf.com and the wastegate is a xo2 china made bought on ebay. I run 8 1600cc injectors, but I'm only using a little more than half of the capacity on e85. I'm using LinkPlus G3 engine management.

Awesome- thank you. To be honest, as long as I beat the 11.97 I ran on my Bandit 1200 I'll be a happy man.

Do you mind telling how much the cams were? How long did it take you to port the head? Stock valves? Are you using solid lifters? When does the boost come in? What's the compression ratio?

Sorry to ask so many questions, but as I'm building a similar car it all helps.

Maybe I can answer this question at least.

If the prices at ENEM are right, then the cams would cost 540-580 GBP for a set.

Och phredde... J?kligt nice bil. Jag gillar den skarpt. Kul att du postar h?r s? att de andra som talar utrikiska har lite att dregla ?ver.
 
WOW.

someone get this guy an extra 300+ emblem, being that he's pushing towards triple that!

Amazing car!
