Hi JS, just replyed your PM. I have been on the internet since January 2008, and I think I have seen 2 - 3 genuine JanSpeed Capri Turbo,s . One guy tried to sell a setup on Evilbay, not long ago, but cant remember if it was a Capri ? or Sierra ? These cars are getting VERY rare, and I think its a great shame that more people in UK, dont save them. Jens Christian

No need to mess with the position of the turbo/plenum, just buy some 90 degree elbows, so you get the pipes facing the front. That would be very easy to fix. I would be more concerned about your servo & brake system ? will there be room for the turbo ?

Hi Puddy, do you mean the Micro Dynamics MS3 ? mine is broken, and I would like to have it fixed. How & where do I find a Email to this guy ? Any help much appreciated Thanks . Jens Christian

yes you are right, but in the interviev Jan O´dor was talking about all sets made, (364 in 1984) and of which most was exported to other parts of the world, but to this day, I have not seen or heard, of any diy kit, only found cars that was sent to Salisbury for the conversion. The second owner of my car, was at Earls Court, or Birmingham Motor Show, in the 80ies, and when he saw the A series engine on display, at the JANSPEED stand, he said he wanted to buy such a kit, but was informed that (and I quot) "this is not something you can have in a box to go, this is a real conversion, where brakes - suspension - fuel system is upgraded" , so he signed a contract, and the car was send to UK. The guy in France with the Datsun 260, said both his, and the other 260 was send to UK for the conversion, in their advert for the TURBO sets, they also write, that there is only a garantee, if the kit is fitted by them, or appointed garage, but I would like to hear from someone who have a kit, they bought, and fitted themselwes? I think its a great shame when people scrap these rare cars, it could be fun to make a meeting for JANSPEED turbo cars, maybe as a smaller part, of a big Classic car show? I saw a BBC television program, about a car meeting, just for Downton built cars, very interesting.
