Nissan vs Porsche – Triumph for Turbo Dynamics at the 277th meeting held at Gurston Down Hillclimb.

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…

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!

Now Turbo Dynamics, who have been quietly testing the turbocharger under a variety of specifications to make sure the units were performing reliably and to their high-performance expectations, have released Dyno Graphs with jaw-dropping figures to confirm the MD555's place at the top of the market. One of the people to buy and run with an MD555 is Justin (aka Jay) Rush who tested the turbo on his 2.3-litre JDM spec. engine. When the dust had settled and the map had been tweaked, Justin…
