hmmm... some interesting developments

most importantly... i may make the GOR cruise at this rate

couple of highlights:

motor built... ready to bolt on manifolds and slot in

no new gearbox at this stage, so will still be popping out of gears

swapping parts over from spare turbos (getting done by turbo shop, pick up today) running no oil in the air filter has allowed crap in the air to shash my impellar blades to nothingness (will post shocking!!! pictures later) im going to a paper air filter asap, i hate socks

done some work with the grinder/dremmel to take out an obstruction in the intercooler pipes, but also some work on the throttle body and opening up the manifold to better suit the throttle body (hoping to get huge benefit from this)

also bit of info on the new block, it has lightened crank and flywheel, shot-peened rods and standard pistons, only done approx 200kms work, pulled it apart and re-assembled on the weekend and all looks good, it had a bit of a race cam in it, so we removed that and put in a stock a14 cam as this should suit the boosted application a lot better i believe

once it's all together i'm hoping she should go really well with the above improvements, and the found air leak a few weeks ago, first on list of priorities is to get to the bloody drags before she dies
