A few months ago I posted on here about my friend's Lancia Thema, which blew a big hole in the exhaust cam cover for no apparent reason.
Since then, he's decided to warm it over somewhat, fitting the following items, amongst others:
Big valve head GT28RS "Disco Potato" turbo Ford Cosworth (not sure which one) intercooler Integrale Evo injectors Wilwood 4-pot front calipers Brembo drilled front discs (Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo Plus fitment) Koni shocks with H&R springs
With the standard ECU setup, the first roller run was 302bhp.
It was then mapped during the course of the day, with the final result being an impressive 329bhp at about 5250RPM and 287lb/ft torque at
4750RPM
The turbo install is particularly impressive, with a nice cut-and-welded elbow fabricated to attach the turbo to the downpipe of the (standard) exhaust. The Wilwood calipers also took some fitting, with special mounts fabricated for the job.
I can't wait for a go in it! It'll probably be at the Italian car show in Bristol this weekend, I'll probably cadge a lift there in it... or should that be lift-off!
It'll give me a nice turbo fix after the sale of the TI (it went for a tidy =A31308, deposit paid)
