Throwback article to 2011....... The Nissan GT-R and Porsche 911 went head to head at Gurston Down Hillclimb on the May Bank Holiday in 2011, in a continuance of their long running battle for supremacy. When Nissan launched their new R35 GT-R in Europe in March 2009 it was aimed directly to rival the performance of the Porsche 911 Turbo. With a claimed lap time of 7:26:7 on the base model’s Dunlop tyres around the famous Nürburgring circuit, it did just that. Porsche had accused Nissan of falsifying those claims in September 2008 and for some years now, a rivalry has been brewing between Porsche and Nissan.

GTD40 – A Piece of History

Motorsport, News
Recently, we were sent a pair of turbos that needed servicing as part of an engine rebuild of a bespoke, twin turbo 4.6 V8 Rover engine, an engine that the Turbo Dynamics MD, Peter Marsh, had a lot of history with. Back in 1995, the late Tony Marsh, father of our MD Peter, built a GT40 replica, the GTD40 Mk2 Coupe, a car that has been described as “a thoroughbred in every sense”. The engine for this stunning car is a 4550cc Rover V8 with a flat plane crankshaft which was forced fed by a pair of bespoke Turbo Dynamics turbochargers and developed by Simon and Nick Law of Rovercraft in Kent. It gave it an impressive power output of 625bhp and 595 Lb-Ft of torque with plans to further…

News, Television
If you've not watched it yet, season 17, episode 3 of Wheeler Dealers sees Mike visit us to upgrade the turbo on their project, a Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo.

A huge thank you to Wheeler Dealers for trusting us to do this turbo justice and to Mike for being such a great guy in the workshop with us!
