Re: [MBZ] M103 turboed and dropped with a re-sale value of 20 cents
You're talking to the chap who installed (and drove 100,000 miles) an Olds V8 in an MGA in 1970 -- 0-100kM.hr in just under 6 seconds.

Re: [MBZ] M103 turboed and dropped with a re-sale value of 20 cents
I suspect not! Turbo'ing the engine would be for the fun of doing it, acting like an 18yr. beside kids in mustangs, etc. Not likely to happen though --- I still beleive that you can't have too much altitude, too much fuel, nor too much power!

[MBZ] M103 turboed and dropped with a re-sale value of 20 cents
That's right, spend 1000's just so you can cut 5 seconds off the trip to your letterbox at the end of your 200 yard long drive. Perhaps you could get some tips from this fella http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150404490357&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT wonder if he'll make his money back? So how do the head gaskets stand up to the extra pressure in the combustion chamber? Hendrik who is happy with the performance of his 300TE, it reaches the maximum allowable speed of 110km/h in a reasonable time OK Don wrote: This guy is getting some really serious power out of 103 engines.
