The latest rebuild involved a decompressed L20, a jap L18 EFI manifold and a bloody big turbo.  Running at the actuator’s factory 6psi it registered 196Hp at the wheels on the dyno.  And that’s with the factory cam, a 2” intercooler and a monster engine fan.  (Which is louder than the turbo.)

Down the quarter it did a 14.5@99mph wheelspinning the whole way.  (With an open diff, a very crunchy gearbox and crap tires.)  With slicks, a decent clutch and a locker diff I’m hoping for a flat 13 before any more mods.  Maybe that’s a little bit ambitious. 

Considering all work has been done on a tight budget, I’m overjoyed with the results.  I’ve got a lot of fine tuning to do yet.  But that’s all part of it.  And a big raspberry for all those people that gave me crap for putting a turbo and EFI on an L series.  Go the L!

Many thanks to:
My dad for all his work.  (He’s spent more time on this car than me!)
