Very pleased with the work thats been done. hopefully be geting the diff sometime soon and the manifold will be geting sand blasted sometime soon. the cams will get sent off to be reground and then we will fit it all up and get the new performance valve springs and ariel will build the custom manifold and then the engine should be back in buisness and ready to pump out the power :D

looks like its going well, are you using the same turbo or bigger. Cant wait to see the new inlet manifold

Jst gunna stick with the same trubo, ive got a recipt for it but all it says is 500,hp garret. my mechanic says he thinks its a gt3040. Hes going to pull it apart check how its going inside and then reapint it so it looks a lil nicer

true, pretty sure travo_6t9 used to run that turbo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLh6rmlGKFA&feature=fvst
very sick car maybe it was a 3082

Looks insane hopefully it wont boost as late as it has been once the engine tune ups been done. Also got my polished backing plate and Cas Bracket aswell as cams recently so i will be running no cam cover. should look insane :D

Nice work....who is this Ariel guy??? LOL

I just spoke with the guy about the diff and I am picking it up early next week and the same time I am dropping off the cams for a regrind. Just need to sort out the springs and then the head is ready to come together woohoo

Next thing to do is finish the porting and make the intake manifold.....similar to your "oda", just 4 runners instead of 8. Once that is done, the engine and gearbox will be coming out for some not so usual mounts, most probably out of chromoly tube ;)
