Entirely agree chaps, you may have noticed that I did some drifts with nigh on standard 2.5 at the weekend and used to adore my old 3.2 for such fun.

However, in competition on a car this size I would require around a 255 rear tyre which the 210bhp just wouldnt be able to hack, especially on the fast 90mph+ entry stuff.

They are fine and Fun on 205's but you need grip so you can chuck it in harder and go faster and thats the case in comps

(edit, plus the silly clutch/flywheel and the fact I have already blown one up doesnt bode so well when Im relying on it )

OK. Points taken. What about the lag you'll get from a turbo engine? Sounds to me like a V8 might be a better plan as it'll be more controllable.

Do you know why the 3.2 failed? Oil starvation? Overheating perhaps? Things that might be resolved with a dry sump or better cooling setup?

IIRC you can fit a solid flywheel and clutch easily enough.

definitely.. you will struggle to keep the revs high all the time..

Aren't most of the Japanese drift cars relatively small capacity turbo motors, though (at least most of the ones I've seen) - 200SX, Skylines, Supras etc with CA18DET, RB26DET, 1JZs etc.. they don't seem to have much trouble staying very sideways

single turbos suffer turbo lags.. its there waiting at low rpms and catch you when you fall in even you are japanese ..no doubt..

some better designs with twn turbos dont have this problem.. but they are expensive..
