Johnny Tempest's race 854

a friend of mine races a 1994 854 in the Project 8 championship. Although he's not a member on here i thought i'd post some pics & video's, the video always impresses me because it shows how quickly you can get a 19t to boost

tbh BT's not far off the same engine spec, the main difference is he's limited to 1.3bar in his series (i can run what i want )

That's very true duane but I should think yours is about 300kg lighter to lol that's pants 1.3bar then again that's a lot of boost really

think i'll be aiming for 1.5bar so not much more, although i've got VXR injectors so we'll see what she's happy with. I'm trying to get him to over 350bhp

i see another car with many more mods than mine
looks like im going to have to shut myself in the garage for the winter
and get busy!!!!!!
