There's this crazy dude here in Sweden who runs a totally stock 1,9d internal wise - just turbo converted. Max boost is set to 2,2 bar! This engine has around 60 hp stock NA - I'm just amazed how well this thing holds up.
Best quarter mile is 13.96 @ 162.55 km/h!
Video of him running 13.96 @ 1/4 mile. This was way back in 2002:

And it's totally wicked exterior wise too!
Links to any more pics/ spec list?? that really moves!
31lbs! i run 18 to mine, thats crazy!
theres a section showing the back of the block and a significant portion of the crankcase missing - along with photos of a broken crank....
oh well, i guess its good to stay within the sane realm if your not keen on lowering compression and balancing...
however, i am enthused and impressed :-)
do they get those in canada? i want one
