no problems

Engine
CA18 Full rebuild
ACL forged Pistons/ ACL race rings
Spool forged rods
ARP rod bolts
ACL race bearing
ARP head studs were installed
ACL Multi-layer Head gasket.
New gates racing timing belt + new idlers, new water pump (oil pump was in good Nic which saved a few $$).
Heads were rebuild (valves were good however needed new lifter) slight port and match port on exhaust and intake side.
I removed the valves from the 8 port JDM intake runners and smoothed all holes with Devcon.

Blow by is fed into a Peterson catch can via speedflow -10 Braided lines.
All Oil and Water lines on the engine were replaced with speedflow 400 series.
Turbo is a Garrett 2876r which has the compressor housing replaced with a T28 version (2876r compressor wheel was retained and the T28 housing was machined to suit).
Upgraded wastegate actuator 18psi.
e-boost 2 takes care of turbo boost.
Custom split dump pipe was made by exotic exhaust in Sumner park. 3" mild steel exhaust system, no cat.
ECU is a Microtech LT10s with X4 box and 4x Bosch coils (plugs are NGK Iridium).

Fuel system
Siemens 660cc injectors
Custom made (my design) fuel rail - dual feed + centre return
Fuelab pressure regulator
Fuelab 10 micron filter
Bosch 044 fuel pump with upgraded Speedflow check valve, fed by a 1/2 (-8) AL hard line.
Fuel tank has been modified with internal surge tank and -8 AN fitting feeding the Bosch and -6 return.
3/8 feed and return line from engine bay (-6 fittings)
100 series braided lines feed all the engine bay fuel equipment.

Thanks for the comments guys.
It's been over 6months in build to get the engine and other systems to support this power (can support a heap more mind you). Next update is a Hilux Diff (Replacing my Lancer one) then it's onto the pretties such as interior and paint. Performance and handling first in my book.

Shaun it was on 22psi (on dyno sheet). Actuator is 18psi - I have an e-boost to controll the pressure to the actuator.
