Well after a week + a bit work the new engine is installed.

Engine pic

Mods for the engine are:
Forged ACL pistons +0.020"
ACL race bearings throughout
Spool forged Rods
ARP 2000 Rod bolts
ACL multi-layer metal headgasket
ARP headstud kit
Heads reconditioned (Valves were in good condition)
Stock Cams
lifters were replaced
Mild Ported exhaust and intake
All rotating assembly was balanced.
Butterfly values removed, sealed with Devcon and smoothed.
Gates racing timing belt
Lightened Fly wheel
Sprung centre ceramic materal clutch and upgraded (i think 2500lbs clamping pressure) pressure plate.
Stock Turbo Manifold
GT2876r Turbo with T28 compressor housing
Wolf 3d v3 ECU
Peterson oil catch can with Speedflow braided 100 series lines.
Most other lines were replaced with 400 series Speedflow lines.
Firewall fitting is a billet Specialties item (Modified to take 37 Deg flare Speedflow fittings) for the heaterbox.

Stainless Steel intercooler piping
Engine bay was painted (poorly by me i might add) in Devil yellow

Car is going to the tuners this week for a run-in tune so no power figures as yet.

Still to do in engine bay:
New 3" SS intake pipe and new KN filter
Fix fues box lid
Paint rad support panel
Custom front grill

Very impressive build, how have you mounted you intercooler to the rad support panel? I can't see any bolts at the top.

I welded two standoffs onto the intercooler that were threaded (Female thread) to lower the intercooler so i can use the bonnet latch), the two hex head bolts infront of the rad bolts are screwed into the threaded standoff's. No bottom support, these bolts plus the hoses from the turbo and throttle body hold the intercooler firmly in place.

Do you think you might need washers under those hex-head bolts, or are they not supporting the cooler's weight?

Looks awesome mate, very bling

Thanks for the comments.
As for the washers yes its all in hand.
As you can see from the pic there are a few things missing. (Mod plate, bonnet latch, washer bottle). The rad support panel isn't painted yet (Has to come out this weekend) so i didn't bother with the washers for this fitment.

That's a freakin huge photo!

I love what you've done with the heater hoses. Very smart for the long term.
