Here is my beloved sleeper!!
This car is very special for me as it's a tribute to my dad.
It's based on a 1998 P11 GT which belonged to him.
I swapped the std SR20DE for a SR20DET taken from a GTI-R. I've rebuilt the engine (new rings, tubby, bearings, shotpeened rods,etc.), fitted a FMIC, an uprated clutch (ACT), an Apexi airfilter, a boost controler (AVCR), a Walbro, IK24 plugs, full 2.5" exhaust and a custom map (fitted a Nistune board in a std GTI-R ECU).
As far as I know, when I finished the work, it was the first P11 running a GTI-R ECU while keeping everything working in the car (OBC, A/C, etc.).
Never put on a dyno, but I reckon it should produce approx 330bhp @ 1.2bar boost. Which actually is enough to hit the rev limiter in 5th gear (164mph), to kill BMW M3s (even E46s), 335i, a lot of Evos and Scoobys (we don't have that much 400+ Evos in France), BMW M5 E39 (with the V8 engine), etc.
It's my daily driver.
(when I don't use the 206 HDI I've be given by my company! lol )
Next mods:
- clear side indicators (will be fitted on wednesday!
)
- Z32 front brakes (4 pistons and 32mm thick)
- Porterfield R4S front pads
- KYB AGX shocks and H&R springs
And later, maybe an oil cooler and a Quaife diff.

And here you got the engine, while being rebuilt...in my living room! :thumbsup:
