the engine is. but the gearbox ratio's differ.
the Ti has slightly taller gears.
i know where to get forged pistons for them because i organised a group buy and had them made to order from wossner.
once fitted and some emerald fuel management and a GT30 turbo, 350+ bhp is quite easily attained.
andy nicholls has got his MG ZR with a T-16 engine up to 800bhp this year!!

Had a few laps in one of these at Snetterton in 2003. Fully prepared and weighing in at not much at all, the car monstered around the track. Seemed to have a very stiff shell, but I suppose that could have been the cage and door bars...........in any event, good move. Nothing like having a cheaper track toy to fling around

still have the G/B so if the 600 engine is any good i might have that... saying that im awaiting a reply to a rebuilt engine (need to know the spec first) :twisted:
if i get a GT30 its going on the spec'C' :lol: maybe the twin scroll from that will fit...
