How hard would it be to go +T with a B200F?

Only for one last journey though!

You can turbo with K jet but results are not so good.

You would need to convert to LH2.4, the easy way is to use the conversion loom.


There was 1 turbo 740 Hearse but no idea what happened to that

Cam choice will come to if you later plan on going turbo or not.

You do need to re shim the cam when changing it

I’ve already gutted the cat which made a very noticeable performance difference, and I like the idea that both you and Dave suggested of throwing a higher lift cam in to liven it up a bit more. Which cam would you recommend? Would clearances need to be reset after a cam change or is it a bolt on and go job?

My mechanical nous is reasonably limited (I’ve raced karts for 26+yrs and maintained/built/tuned my own engines, but have only done regular maintenance stuff with cars) but changing a cam should be no problem!

I hope you've got PLENTY of nerve and LOADS of time!

sounds FUN though!
