The plan is to create an "as it should have been" 360 Turbo Intercooler. Especially towards the end of the production run, the 360 was significantly underpowered when compared with the competition, and considering the ease with which the turbo varient of the (standard) B200 engine could have been fitted, it seems an opportunity was missed.
This particular car is probably strictly speaking a little too new for Autopendium, but I'm going to bend the rules a little!
The plan is for my 360 (family owned since 1992) to donate its engine to my 343, and in its place will sit a tweaked B230 turbo unit from a 940. Initially it should give somewhere in the order of 170bhp, but a few tweaks should see over 250bhp with ease.
