R56 Racing parts

I got my R56 to turn it into a track car.
Well....regarding the engine....
I know there are forged pistons/rods/cranks, cams, intercooler, injectors, close deck work, head work
I cant find a racing header and turbo setup, a stand alone fuel injection system, radiator.
Goal is 300+ whp
Any suggestions?

300+ WHP can be done without bottom end upgrades, but not recommended. My 360+ uses OEM injectors and ignition coils. OEM cooling system seems to work OK for track use too. Cams aren't req'd, but add a bit more. My original build thread is here --- https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...lta-stuff.html with links to the failure and current build.

Tigger also has a nice build but I don't remember where it's documented. Another one worth learning from is Thepenl's build --- really long but very worthwhile --- http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f272...nls-r56-25947/ he has info on a Peugot turbo / manifold that works on our N14. Another good one to read is --- http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f272...-ideas-116426/ he has some different ideas that seem to be working.

Be sure to start a build thread for us to follow --- lotsa good advice / suggestions here.
