Great project, realy looking forward to seeing this one up and running. Bet not as much as you though!

keep up the good work.

[rick.spi]

yes really looking forwad to it... looking forward to seeing what itl push out, 200bhp is quite achievable.

theres a few mods to the block need to be done before the engine is assembled, like oil fed thrusts and plugging but i think the bulk of bts are ready now

[rick.spi]

got em powdercoated, aint as good finish as i wanted but itl have to do for now.

[dannyg2325]

great project mate, brillent work!!

[rick.spi]

More to come soon... Really need to start doing some block and head work like plugging it all so martain can do the work on them.

[rick.spi]

some bits arrived at my house over the last week:









and martain (MRA) has done some exelent machining on the cnc mill on... something, top secret for now but i can assure you it looks the business. youll have to wait for that one tho

went to build the diff assembly up today but i was missing a part so progress will have to carry on next week...



cheers

yes i would recomend it steve, not just for performance but fuel ecomomy and engine safety. im looking forward to making the neat manifold then itl all start to look good.

im on a mission to make one of the coolest and cleanest engine bays around. although you cant see it yet it will come together, youll just have to believe me on this one.

Found this through another thread, and when i looked at the start date expected to see a finished product, but i know how time flies and new ideas come up, love the new thinking on the turbo without cutting the bulkhead and looking forward to the new bits.

[rick.spi]
