Tony Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Although i am not mechanically privileged I do appreciate the splendor of the complexities within the power house. Some owners go that extra mile or two making the powerhouse a piece of art.... wim respects that! This example from a Supra twin turbo is my current winner. Stunning example...... But we would love to see more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set-up primarily for responce it made a shade over 400bhp using 1.3bar with a lovely torque curve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Some stunning examples already We would love to know what car and any development history though peeps So far i am good for the Starlet and the Lexus but Sam's examples leave me wondering The first one looks like it may be a Skyline engine babe? wim says: I think we will really enjoy this thread..... Long may it continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Also appreciate the power-house with the clothes off.. This example from tdi towers captures an interior view most don't see.

The setup is an FM2 Turbo Kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adie Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 A couple of mine in its current state. The pics aren't too good (camera phone). But if it ever stops raining I'll take some proper ones. I've had the cam cover polished but with all the cables / wires on show you can't really tell from the pics. Its a shame unless you fit an engine cover, like Bazzas then the IS engine bay can look a bit too cluttered with cables etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
