People have done it with standard 1.7s and I imagine you'd probably need to lose the FRP manifold anyway so it'd not be any different except from the cams.

yep, it wouldn't be an FRP anymore...but i'm sure with the right budget and quality work it could be a pretty awesome drive...

My dream FRP would be a turbo and a progressive Wizards of NOS kit to spin it up quicker... :twisted: :twisted:

can't see it hapnin tho... :lol:

I was at Santa Pod a few years ago chatting to a chap with a RS200 powered Mk 1 Escort drag racer :shock:
He was getting about 800BHP out of the evolution engine but with massive Turbo lag.
So was using a progressive NOS set up to eliminate it.
Very Very clever :D
As the Boost came up the NOS went down.
