[quote=t5frankie;458451]Wish i had the know how to build one of these. [/quote] Same here! Doesnt stop me giving it a go though :) Honestly, 1 year ago I didnt know how to change the oil in a car, now Im converting a T5 lump into a 240. Its a steep learning curve but as long as you take your time, do hours of research, listen to the people who have done it previously and above all else.....have fun....then youll be alright :) I get low moments where I think OH MY GOD WHY DID I DO THIS!? but its just remembering that every hour spent on the car is one hour closer to the finished product and ill get there in the end. If you want to built a manic 240 and have the space to do it then I would suggest giving it a go :) A 940 turbo engine into one has been done a few times now and isnt actually that hard. Its not simple, but its not rocket science

I hope you have deep pockets, getting 500bhp from a t5 lump won't be cheap ;)

Here you go frankie, this would make a fun 1/4mile car [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xejKQOBGTjM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xejKQOBGTjM[/ame] Although i prefer my volvos to have volvo engines.
