History
1975 MKII Capri that I bought in 2000. Previous guises include a worked n/a 2.0 pinto engine. Nothing grand, I just had a way too big cam and a re-jetted 32/36 with flows and exhaust. Thought that was pretty cool at the time but I didn't really know what I was doing.. at the time I also lowered it and re-painted it and had some aftermarket rims.
Few years later I met Simon and we turbocharged the 2L using a custom made EFi manifold and VR4 intercooler and a small T25 blowing 11psi on a stock 2L. Made 140hp at the rear wheels.
Drove that round for another year or so before building a more wild engine including forged pistons, 205 block, turbo cam, T25G turbo, fully ported big valve head with a cosworth gasket. Pushed 18psi through that and made 180hp at the wheels. I think it could have done a lot more with a bigger turbo and a better exhaust system. But decided to sell that engine and current build is a 5.0 EFi V8.
