The engine is obviously a 1.8 20v Turbo, dry sumped......

The manifold looks pretty nice!

I took the pic at the Autosport show, and thought it might be of interest to some 1.8T owners....

Nice!!

It's based on the twin plenum WRC Octavia manifold. Similar to the Dahlback.

It looks like a mid/rear engine setup???

I know Jabba have/had a Lotus with a f'kin huge turbo powered 1.8t 20v slung in the back of it!

Yeah I'm guessing this one has been specially developed for the Formula 2 race series, as they are all running the same engine.

"425bhp @ 8,250rpm or 480bhp @ 8250rpm with overboost"

I wonder who builds all the engines for the series.....

I havent the foggiest but my god is it sexy

Mountune Racing. They also use it in Formula Palmer Audi

It's an FIA Formula Two car! Good to see top level motorsport using the same engine as us!

Yeah I'd seen it in the Palmer chassis before, but didn't know it was what they used in the Williams F2 chassis too.

talking of rear / mid engined cars

:yes:

Here's a shot my mate got from the other side:

Garrett turbo with external wastegate.

I wonder how many miles the engines do between rebuilds!
