I bought that tmic off Ty.
I haven't used it because I may be going down a different route.Ask TY about the dimensions etc as I am not 100% certain what they are.
If you are then interested send me a pm.

without paying silly money bit of a lost cause mate, john felsted runs a top mount that goes over 400 no problems, but it cost 2 grand.

just front mount it and also think about syvecs ecu

so its closed deck converted as well? my 2.5 build is,,,,,,,

hahaha sorry i'm being pedantic now. reason for question is standard rods limit it to around 400bhp.

Personaly i'd just bite the bullet, chuck an sc46+ go front mount and syvecs, why have a nice spec build then not get the best potential from it

I've taken out standard turbo on the rb320 which is vf43 I think and put in a sc42+ I just want some more ponies and reliability plus keeping it a standard looking rb320. Not maxing out engine but a few more horses ain't gonna hurt either
