Show off!

Seriously though Kev, that is some piece of kit you've got there. Whether here or in Oz you gotta keep us up to date on the build and how well it goes!

Awesome

Nice one Kev, the only shame is that we won't get the chance to see it in action over here.....

That is one serious engine, what are you hoping for time-wise? Low 10's!! Or even better methinks!!

Are you still gonne drive the taxi on the street??

I guess with the right chassis & set up, I would of thought its got 7/8 sec potential

Kev,
Thats a very impressive build spec and thanks for sharing.

What RPM do you intend to turn. Ive seen similar non blown Bananarama! 9,000 - 9,500rpm through the traps.

Will RPM be less due to the Pro Charger ?

Will you need to run an intercooler ?

What you thinking of putting behind the motor in terms of gearbox ?

What you thinking of putting the motor in ?

Sorry for all the questions

Agreed it could be quicker, hence my wink! And not wanting to put any pressure on Kev! But also going in Taxi which I was assuming wouldn't be radically changed, and I assume would need to be to take advantage of all that power. What do you reckon - 700 on the motor and another 300 or so on the blower?? (20lbs is a lot though

). In current car maybe highly entertaining 9's!! With mods maybe low 9's or even high 8's?? the chassis will determine!

I dunno - I wouldn't be asking me for the answers anyway!!

Don't get that. Whats the point, you are doing that now near enough with the 318!
