PINTO TURBO

So its a turbo charged 2.3 pinto... thats pretty much maxed out I'm guessing... look at the seller ID, I wonder what he lifted that engine from?

Its a LIMA engine actually not a PINTO. Look similar and spawed from the american pinto of the 1970's very few interchangable parts with the euro pinto's. Popular mod is to graft a volvo 16valve head and a larger turbo on.

As for maxed out the RS500 race engines were putting out over 650hp in qually trim. and I've sand dragsters using turbo pinto's running 600+ on alcohol. Just use good rod bolts and a steel flywheel :-)

I'm off to bed now and Ade you should do the same - you were up almost all last night :-))))))
