  • Paul's B23 turbo 242 GT

It's been a while since I posted here, so a quick update.
Although it's battle weary, I will have it back in the paint shop soon for a cleanup.
I was stuck in the 13 second time bracket for quite a while but now it’s making solid progress through the 12,s with PB’s almost every meeting.







You went to a bigger turbo didn't you?

Turbo is the same, Just a bit bigger comp wheel.
Nice. How are you getting the times down? More turbo and rubber by the looks. Still got the carby setup on it?

Little bit more head work went on.







What valve sizes did you go with? 38/46?
Yeah 38/ and something. can't remember, I did the valves ages ago but only a rough job.

This is finishing it all off properly with a radius grind, relief's. substantial bowl and port work with sandblasted inlets.
Good head is good. Looks great :)
