what an odyssey!

the engine is finally coming back home, after what seems like a lifetime. its due to arrive friday, ill make sure to take photos and update this thread when it does.

from piston manufacturing delays as the teflon coating failed and had to be sent back to hand picking a brand new block as the old one cracked in three places, building a billet main cap girdle, billet dampered harmonic balancer, ultra gucci hand finished con-rods and head modification that's flowed within a micromillitre of its life all promises to be ultra responsive and efficient from just 1500rpm!. the previous engine made 90rwkw at the same rpm, while this new combination is likely to make twice as much!

also coming over is a nizpro cobra plenum that's hand finished, nizpro big big cooler (100mm) with kevlar pipework, hks gtii 60mm wastegate, the t51r turbo is being hi-flowed and upgraded to an even larger rear housing as the new engine combo won't sacrifice any low down power or torque with the upgraded turbine, also turbosmart raceport 50mm bovs (x2), nizpro/sard 1000cc injector kit with step-down controller for both injectors and fuel-pump, custom one off 102mm (4") catless stainless steel with a single titanium muffler and the one of a kind aeromotive fuel system.

the diff bolt support was cracked/smashed so a solid piece is being made up to hopefully help the diff handle all the new power, diff cv needs repacking as the torque from the previous engine (1200nm's) twisted the cradle.

shame it wont be ready for rexpo, would of been nice to light up those rear tyres.....the upcoming perth-wrx dyno comp for sure, strickly as exhibition only, bit unfair on the other dak dak's
