Would love to see a dyno of before engine, after engine, after Turbo, after tuning.
Ah well I can always want.
It's a good story Phil thanks for posting it

well its your lucky day
Mase is planing on doing the set up on my stock motor first, and getting it all correct then dropping in the new built motor, and i believe it will be both on pump gas and race gas, so we should end up with some good numbers

Niiiiice, incidentally is this to be a road car when it comes back? Does it need an SVA as it will have a new engine and a Turbo installed (and presumably new brakes and suspension?

Sva no , just pass through customs
brakes, I have been speaking with people on the US forums and FI and most are running stock brakes with upgraded discs, lines and pads, so i am thinking of maybe going down the stop tech route and when i have more cash available i will change the wheels and calipers but i was intending to keep it a stock look, so i might not do the later just see how it is when i have it back.
I am looking at going down the route of KW varient 3 coilovers and x braces etc
Yes will be a road car, daily driver

well the block and head have now arrived at Stage6 motorsport where mase works,
he mailed me last nite to say, he also said they are just waiting on the the clutch to arrive before they start the build, of the new engine
Marks2kcu i saw what u wrote, about yours needing a tune and not for him to bring that rhd turbo nutter thing back, i did chuckle,
I am hoping mase has the time to dyno the engine b4 and then with the turbo set up on stock and then with the built engine like he said, would be cool
anyway once he has sent the pics of the engine i will post
