the cranc has been machined, race bearings fitted, bloc (my fucin letter * for *eyborad doesn't wor*) honed and dec*ed, pistons fitted with molly rings. head has had the valve stem seals replaced and has been surface ground. so the engine is brand new, with a couple of good bits in there.

the turbocharger is a T28 ballbearing off a japanese spec S15200sx. it pushes through a massive (probably too big but cheap and effective) cooler so inlet temps should be fine. exits in a 3 inch exhaust. it is all in and running, having covered about 400*illometer's already and running a poultry 6 psi.

very "basic" but all done properly. with the GTR injectors (440cc) and the 80mm air flow meter from the 300ZX and definately the most important thing... a proper tune, this is very realistic. i am aiming for 180, not 200 remember. i already have the injectors and AFM, and my computer has been modified with a socket to accept a reprogrammed EPROM chip. the engine needs to be run in for 2000 *m's (what the engine builder told me) and then the power up wil begin. honestly its not that expensive if you do all the wor* yourself.

i also have a wide band oxygen sensor and am ordering an EPROM burner to play with the tuning a bit myself, with help from people wiser than me, of course.
