Gearbox, brakes, suspension, turbo, injectors and maybe fuel pump.

Standard gearbox & clutch, Brakes, Suspension, ARB`s etc...?

Other than that its just injectors and turbo but you need to be able to stop it and make it round corners aswell, 400bhp in a classic is a handful

Get the simtek upgraded to alcatec first, then a bigger turbo and injectors should do it. Probably wise to add a fuel pressure regulator in the mix too.

What headers and up pipe you running?

Also theres a sticky at the top of this forum section that's useful information. https://www.scoobynet.com/general-te...ing-guide.html

+1, have you been or driven a 400bhp classic? I own a turbo 2000 myself but they aren't the best base. I would have thought you would need either a strengthend 5 speed or a 6 speed for over 350bhp reliably

The jump from 300 to 400 is a very costly one, I know Iv done it. If I did it again I'd go straight for 500+ as it won't cost you that much more & once you hit 400 you'll want more.

Its the torque and launching that kills them, Not to mention brutal gear changes, If you`re mechanically sympathetic you might get away with it.....









For a while

It will eventually blow up though, not built to handle that much power although its the torque figure your looking at, I ran mine at around 400 for a while on the type r box but changed to save blowing it up
