warwickben is on a distinguished road
yeah me too lol. ive said this before but me and a buddy own a 84 rs turbo capri. we are still rebuilding the car, but we fully rebuilt and made the stock 2.3 turbo motor better. new sohc head, custom cam, added straps for the main bearings. i fabed a custom turbo mani and made a custom upper intake mani for a 70 mm tb.bigger t3/t4 25 psi. raised the redline on the motor. list goes on. we got just the motor dynoed and it made around 450 ish. theres a few sohc 2.3 motors making close to 600.

we have a spare turbo 2.3 block and the volvo head. all the work need to mount the head is done. welded a block of aluminum to the back of the head, and gasket matched the head and block. some of the oil and water passages are slightly off. and ran the one external oil line needed. othere then that the block is empty no crank ect ect. where going to run the car for a few years with the stock motor then swap in the forvo motor lol.
