Title: Top Boss Performance Tuning
Post by Ultima on Jul 22^nd, 2006, 6:31pm

Some very interesting articles on this site. I had dealings with Fizt when I had my Saph Cossie and was always pleasantly suprised with the service and the quality of work. Good value for money and fast turnaround.

Hmm well they have a mixed reputation.
I once spoke to some one there who said he was the engine guy & after talking about a TT 24V conversion I was convinced he knew very little about the engine & have never bothered with them since.

I see they are fitting MT-75 gearboxes to ultima's err first one maybe ;D actually Cosworth did the first ones before the car was even lauched for dyno work & a fair few have been done since by various diy people & I think powercraft have been doing them for years now.

They still have the same home page for the 24V, god knows where they got that info from as it is not based on the truth, I really think they should rewrite it as it makes them look bad.

Shame as I do think there conversions look good when fitted.

I'm in the intitial stages of doing a 'waggly stick' 24v conversion. I had enquired into Powercraft engineering about it but the reply i got was 'we're very busy at the mo', so i've decided to do it meself :)

The only part left for me to get is the mt75 bellhousing from a 2.9 12v sierra, only its being harder to find than i thought!

EDIT: Just had a look at the piccie of the 24 manual and that car is owner by a member on here (darkdestroyer i think) and was at the Harewood meet. It has the widest wheels i've ever seen on a Scorp!
