Tell me that is the wrong soundtrack - sounds more like F1!!!! Unbelievable. What is the spec / cost????? I want one.


My connection wasnt fast enough so just as it was getting to max revs the soundtrack was stuttering - sounded like the crazy frog on full chat!!

'tis the supercharger that you can hear! If you listen carefully you can just about hear a fairly moderately revving 4 cyl engine in there too!!!

have a look on his site at the rest of the car that it's in! One of the nicest manta A-series that I have ever seen............sounds awesome!

haha !!!

similar engine spec avaiable from me £4500 . (basically without supercharger)

Tis amazing, he seems to have changed the plenum design at some point as it changes shape and style half way through the pics.

............but the supercharger was the impressive bit for me. The 578hp is all very nice but look at the spread!!!!!!!!!

Was it just me or could you almost taste the odur from that engine... absolutely fantastic engine. I've never seen an headers quite glow like that before

I see a turbo, but no supercharger - I presume a supercharger is what made all that noise?

Its under the plenum, go to the website and click through his pics, its ace !

Wadders - 1/9/05 at 05:17 PM

Awesome, wonder what this translates to tho ?

Full fart med Jetbåtbygget, titta här.

just found something interesting on the hilmersson site, the previous engine fitted to the manta before the current supercharged + turbo one, you might recognise it's predecessor!!!







and here's the power plot for the turbo and supercharger engine..............

Volvorsport - 2/9/05 at 08:49 PM
