Here's the engine: bottom end is the stronger 2.4 T5 and the head is a 2.3 T5 with single VVT but has been ported and flowed nicely- it was going to go into a 2002 V70 as a sleeper, but that project went tits up sadly. The turbo is a Hahn Racecraft super 20g, which is a blend of a Mitsibushi TD05 and a TD06. Popular in the states as it is high flow, relatively fast spool and affordable. This might change if I get some spare cash as I know it's not perfect, but I have it and its massive. The other bits are burried in boxes at the moment and will be revealed as they go in.

Liners are shimmed (by Shemtek) but the rods are stock - might be pushing it a little but longer spool should allow some leeway I hope.

Yea, you can't go wrong with either Shem Green or Tim Williams, as long as you don't hit full boost before 4k rpm you'll be fine

Yeah - Engine was put together and timed by Shem and the gearbox, clutch and SMF are from Tim, although I did pay Tim 2 weeks ago for it and have heard nothing, but this is not not normal as far as I can tell! I've got most of my other Volvo stuff from Don @ Kalmar too. What a nice man he is.
The attraction to the 20G was the power it can continue to give after 4k all the way to the end over where the other TD or K family lose later on, not to say that they're not good turbos, only different - I love my k24 on the V70. A lot.

Just a thought on the front windscreen, if you put a vinyl sun strip on it like the ones in the photos on the other page. Would it help to distract people's eyes from noticing the difference?

I'm going to highlight myself as a pleb here and state publicly I can't really tell the difference even when they're parked next to each other. Closer one is MR based?? neitehr could i, but yeah the MRS200 is closest

Austinpowers - that's a potential solution, the other would be a nice lightbar - rally style of course...

Well at least the kit has also come with a spare pair of shoes included. Looking forward to following this. I have grown to quite like the MRS.. from certain angles. So anything that takes what seems to be a sound platform, adds power and makes it look better is all good. Yeah... ignore Ken Block. He doesnt build his cars anyway- he just pays the bills. Meh..yawn.

Liam Doran is refurbishing his pikes peak one at the moment too. Engine sounds like it should be good, even my old focus st which was standard sounded great and popped and banged on over run so this sounds like a great plan.

Be watching this one..love the old RS200. Was tempted to build a kit of one that was based on the old Austin maestro!! But a closer look showed although it looked ok.. it really wasn't 😕 😂
