1.8 Rover 75 Turbo.... k series or not.
The Rover 75 did a 1.8 Turbo. As far as I can read its essentially a K- series. Has anyone fitted one in a 7/Fury/Pheonix etc.

Hmm, is it a K, or T series?
I have a T16 here with 210bhp, interested to see that bellhousing there in Steves car. Where's it from?

It's not a typo, it's just a very low pressure turbo. The 75 with the 1.8 turbo engine was not a performance derivative; you bought the
KV6 engined car (or the V8!) if you wanted a quick one.
The low pressure turbo gave a hefty increase in mid range torque and knocked about 1.8 seconds off the 0-60 of the normally aspirated 1.8 without
putting much of a dent in the fuel consumption, but it wasn't a quick car by any standards.
