wow almost 350whp for an M42 is pretty awesome but that torque number is also very impressive congrats dude you've been building this car for a while. I wouldn't be surprised if you upgrade the injectors you could maybe push to around 380whp.

Yes, its been a long time! Actually drove the car today for the first time in almost 5 years. It was slightly different than I remembered

Onnea! Thats impressive given the stock bottom end and smaller turbo. E85 doin work!

You are way up north, is that considered Lapland there? Probably not, but close. Furthest north I have been is Jyväskylä.

Kippis!

Thanks! Re85 sure is THE fuel for turbo cars. :)

Spool on that turbo is very nice, and i think is safe to say that garrett has reached its potential.
Unfortunately i managed to toast my rod bearings during a burnout so the engine is done.
But that is a great excuse to go for forged iternals isnt it?:D

Altough the region i live is considered northen finland, its not quite lapland yet, we're missing the tundra and the reindeers :D

Kippis!
