VW Golf with over 500 bhp from a 1.8-litre turbo engine! Recently with us to have the sophisticated AEM Infinity ECU calibrated with the aid of our Dynapack chassis dyno and Nathan's superb mapping skills. 5 switchable maps give between 300 and over 500 bhp at the flick of a switch! Water/methanol injection is used to keep temperatures under control during high boost conditions. Maximum boost was at 38 psi!!
A bit like my r5. love that...👍

What gearbox is it running out of interest? 🤔

We ultrasonically cleaned and flow-tested some standard Rover V8 injectors last week. Out of 30 injectors there was flow difference of up to 50%! The final flow-matched set had a maximum flow difference of just 2%.
Marcos LM500 we had on the dyno back in June, with a 5-litre Rover V8. This produced 253bhp at directly at the hubs (equates to about 298 bhp at the flywheel) and over 300 lb-ft directly at the hubs - a lot of torque in a lightweight fibre-glass sports car!
TVR V8S Chassis Restoration - this one started out with serious corrosion, including big rot holes in the main chassis legs and transmission tunnel tubes! We cut out and replaced the metal, including both outriggers with thicker cold drawn seamless tubing, before shot-blasting entire chassis and finishing with 2K etch primer & 2K top coat in original colour.
Testing intake tube lengths on our own TVR Chimaera back in May this year - 4.1-litre with Wildcat cylinder head conversion. Listen to the Rover V8 revving to over 7500rpm! 337bhp directly at the hubs (estimated 382bhp at the flywheel)!
How reliable are these rover engines with the wildcat head? My 5.0 had to be rebuilt at 30k!
Latest TVR Chimaera to be converted to Canems fully programmable engine management, being put through its paces on the dyno earlier this week. 192 bhp at the hubs (estimated 237bhp at the flywheel), which is good for a standard Chimaera 400.
