In engleesh that relates to 100 horsies, 0-60 less than 8secs, 50+ mpg round town, 80+ mpg long run, worth having a crack at eh??????????

Turbo lag almost non-existant, and vauxhall combo van I drove was like $**t of a $h0v3l. woooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Not sure, I could be making it up but I think it was a 1.4 pug/citreon engine wasnt it?

looks and sounds great will be watching!!!! strange grill you have also!!?

[Oldskoolbaby]

Sounds a bloody great idea. If it was me, id use a peugeot Partner 1.6Hdi motor. They are superb and stock knock out 200lb/ft of torque between 1500-2500rpm and has about 100 bhp too. Even with a few tools in the back of mine it would red face a Type R 0-40 which is usually about the distance from one set of lights to the other. Just hold the car/van on the clutch to get the boost up, select 1st, 2nd gear in the wet and proceed to give it beans!!!! Remap it and youll have 250lb/ft in a 650/700 killo car

1.7 isuzu engines are popular with the drag boys - very reliable and the boost can be easily upped. not made by GM so

Isn't that the engine they put in the old Combos? We had an old Combo which had a 1.7 Isuzu diesel, but it wasn't turbo charged and it only did 85mph. Is it the same engine?
