Mettlen Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Thought it would be nice to Hot Rod my Saracen. I have two options, spoked wheel or staying British with MG wheels! Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleheywoodtanks Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Definitely MG's Looks good as a low rider only thing left to do is paint it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopa Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Might want to "breathe" on the engine a little, perhaps a Meteor, or even a Merlin for the wheelie factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritineye Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Use the heavier wheels to keep the nose down on leaving the line hard. love the patina and stance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 MGs definitely. Had a similar idea a while back but might be difficult to put it on 4 wheels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I think that the B80 would respond well to a turbo or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadawg Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I think that the B80 would respond well to a turbo or two Has anyone one successfully turbocharged or supercharged an B80? Or for that matter, is it viable to put something stronger in a Saracen, like Cummins diesel? I know this is off topic, but it's in spirit of "hot rod" discussion. Probably the cheapest and most viable option to juice up performance would be nitrous oxide kit. Don't know much about them, but in USA, a lot of racing gear heads put nitrous in their cars, just search youtube... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Might be too much to ask of the Wilson gearbox !! When I saw that post I had visions of unrestrained pistons and bits of crankcase flying round the drivers ears.:cheesy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 In all seriousness though, I really do think that the B80 with a mild turbo setup on it, pushing 5 PSI or so would be good for another 40-50hp and would really wake it up, without adding too much extra strain to anything.
