Hey Tim,

What boost will you need to run to get this power ??

I'm guessing 6 to 8 psi ?

Thereabouts, probably peak around 10 depending on how much timing it gets in it. Knock isn't really a concern so much as peak combustion pressures. I'm not too fussed if it's a bit lower - lower is safer, not stressing the motor so badly until the new one is assembled.

When do you think this blue nugget will be able to be tuned ??

Keen to see what is makes on the dyno

Hey mate!

As soon as I pull my finger out and ship Nathan from SMW down to our side of the nation and get him to put it on the hubs like we've planned haha!

We're estimating somewhere around 260-270awkw with the stock motor. More than that and we're risking lifting the heads - or worse. Good thing is, it's got fresh gaskets and everything else now.

Built motor... depends how brave we are. Lol.

Also - update. Spats are on, need to finish up the last couple bits, mount the wing and skirts, bonnet should hopefully not have any visible joins this time. So far so good!

Going well on the crude street tune and the low boost?

I hope the chain slap turns out to be nothing. Surely others running this setup would know more about this.

Cheers

Bennie

Yeah, pretty good actually! It's funny driving it around - ask a Facebook expert and I'm sure they'd let me know that my car is about to be explode. Lol.

A fix is done, I'll write more about it once I've driven the car more to confirm it works for longer than 5 minutes, lol.

Cheers mate.

I'm guessing braze it then coat it in bog to cover any nasties that brazing always leaves behind?

Brazing didn't go so well. The temps required to braze are way too high, caused minor warpage. Fixed that and we ended up glassing it.

Let me know when.
