Here are some pictures of the MGB with the VR4 motor.Before i put that motor in i used to run a DASH single cam 12 valve motor.good power but really bad fuel economy,like 18lt/100km.the vr4 at least gets 11lt/100km.

A bit lazy with moving the throttle on the plenum plus it would be the first time i would have to pay someone to do something.everything ive done myself including the stainless intercooler pipes ive done myself. But my tig welder is not powerful enought to do alloy.also the throttle would have to be tilted down to clear bonnet.but still toying with the idea at the moment now i have the old motor out of the eterna, which gives me 3 vr4 motors jap spec. and i have a spare aus manifold so maybe experiment.
if anybody noticed the exhaust manifold you would see how dodgy i was .i made and adaptor plate and added studs to turn standard manifold upside down.worked well enough.

picked up front telescopic shocks now plus bigger sway bar.got rear ones coming soon.at the moment the cars a bare shell and upside down so i can weld the floor pan and run new pipes wiring etc a bit easier.also might be going alloy radiator because my 4core mg one overheats on boost but rapidly cools back down with two thermo fans.
