Nice one Ty They certainly seem like a good combo[:p]

I just watched your video man that thing sounds sweet! The motor sounds strong. Pitty about the camera playing up at the start.. [:p]

What are you going to do to your engine? new pistons? What are the cossie pistons worth? I had the chance ages a go to buy second hand cossie pistons but decided probibly wouldn't be wise

Hi Guys,

I dont know exactly how many kms are on the engine but by the blow by and leak down,it has alot...150000kms-200000kms? It was a second hand engine when I got it ten years ago.

The rebuild will be basically reconditioning the bottom end with new parts including pistons,bearings,oil pump,etc. The old pistons are knackered. The head will be reconditioned with new guides,valves as necessary and some minor tidy up port work. I am undecided on cams at this point,the stock cams have been very kind in producing power so I'll wait and see how the tune goes. If it hits 300rwkw, the cams stay[;^)]

Ive just test driven the old girl....... The boost controller is all set now for 10psi,18psi and 27psi[:p] I had to remove 17% duty to pull the high boost setting down to 27psi. The one and only high boost squirt was absolutely insane I think 35psi as Ty said is definately possible with this turbo[(#)] The retune is booked in for Tuesday...stay tuned[;^)]

Cheers Keiran

It all looks very sedate under the bonnet now...very deceiving[(#)]

I be will staying tuned alright anather video would be nice [:p]

It will be interesting to see how it goes in the power department...it certainly feels stronger everywhere,especially with 27psi of boost That is all without any adjustment to the old tune. The ignition advance at 27psi is very conservative as the old turbo was at its limit there,so anything is possible. The new turbo is making positive pressure at 2300rpm, 12psi by 4000rpm and 27psi by 5000rpm. That 4000-5000 range is quite a ride
