looking good - Like to be there when you do the dyno runs

Nearly there. I watched the video and was keen to hear it fire into life!

Looking forward to part 2 of your S13 strut and brake upgrade to see how it actually works on the road..

Zigmondo, still a while off hitting the dyno. Once it's registered it will get the old big turbo, Ecu and injector treatment. For now I just want to get it running and on the road but will be sure to post it up when I do get to that stage.

cadet1200 I am waiting still to get it all sorted properly, now that the engine is in with the lighter springs and the dampening dialled all the way down it is actually a lot softer than I thought which has me more hopeful in thinking that I might be able to get it to work. At first I thought it was way too hard but so far so good. Still some work to makes sure bump steer is OK and some correction in tow with the tie rod ends. Will get it down to the aligner soon and mess around with it. Maybe once it's done we can compare how each ute handles with different setups?

The videos are all just building anticipation... Albeit for 6-12 months. Haha.

Have had some progress lately. Got the fuel cell and pump installed, some minor bits to finish that off and it'll run. Hopefully will start it up this week (or at least try). Also picked up some goodies, got a spare complete head and a bare block plus Jun cams, Jun cam gears, Supertech valves, Jun valve springs, Jun titanium retainers,Tomei solid lifters Cometic head gasket and ARP head bolts. This build escalated quickly. Haha. Will get it on the road first,then worry about the horsepower. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FONN-0uoTHI

What kind of HP you expecting?

Had the first start up last night. Engine ran well, unfortunately no video yet as the turbo is completely stuffed and spat oil on the floor(no exhaust yet only dump pipe) so I didn't want to run it again to take a video. I knew the turbo was shagged but was hoping to limp it through until I got it on the road.
Picking up a t28 today and will get it back on tomorrow and try it all again!
