Brian,

The kit was developed here in Australia and uses a Weber DMTT carb off a Saab
900, with an IHI turbo from an Isuzu truck and a regraphed distributor and a
custom made exhaust. It uses stock internals, you just use big bore B+P's and
leave all else standard (cheap to rebuild!).

With 92mm pistons (1835cc) a car with the kit was driven 600 miles to a show,
put on the strip and did a 14.2sec pass and drove 600 miles back. Performance
and reliability.

The original designer of the kit (Shimo) is building up my engine for my
cabrio.

Hope this helps

Steve
