    That’s why the passenger side is solid

    I guess the verdict is still out, it could have just felt stiffer because they were new but then again they could actually be different

    Yes, I fitted an astra power steering pump in the boot when I put the single turbo on, I looked at a few options of using the original but wasn’t happy with any of it and just chose to get rid of it
  5. r32-25t
    If I’m lucky I might be running it in by then, not sure if there are any entries left though
  6. r32-25t
    It’s getting there slowly

    fitted the ac compressor and shifted it forward onto where the power steering belt used to run fitted the new passenger side mount, hopefully I won’t be breaking this one in a hurry fitted a nismo mount on the drivers side, I know they’re probably just stock ones but I had it so I fitted it

    I know the pain of making a 3in hose fit over an 80mm pipe, I have a Japanese pipe kit on mine and just made a new pipe to replace the turbo engine side one. It’s worked really well so far. IF it starts failing I’ll look to replace it after that

    Nice effort, that’ll definitely slow the car down a little bit!! I’m sure some gorilla glue would see that ready to go again lol

    The .84 rear on my stock bottom end 2.6 with vcam and e85 was all in at 4,100 and was an absolute weapon on the street, I only used the high boost twice and once it tried to kill me (turned out to be a transfer issue)

    Thanks I hope so. I’ve done so much parts collecting while waiting for the engine and I just hope I haven’t missed anything apart from AN hoses and fittings

    grabbed a new nismo thermostat and fitted it grabbed new timing cover bolts and washers then fitted the timing cover along with the oil pump and alternator

    Bolt turbos on it and send it, I’ve seen plenty of them run for years with results worse then that, including my own. Then build an engine on the side and do a swap when you get around to it

    Grabbed a brand new genuine water pump And fitted it to the engine with my electroplated bolts and powder coated alternator bracket
  15. r32-25t
    Turned the engine over, to have a bit of a look as You can see the oil squirters go back in with the billet block then I threw the sump on with a brand new set of bolts, something I have noticed is if you use a billet block, you need to invest in some bottoming taps as the blind threads have not been cut deep enough

    Youd think that then you Jack it from there and the spot welds let go and the panel folds up, there’s a lot of weight on that spot if you Jack it up from there
  17. r32-25t
    Or it would be from someone using it as a jacking point

    I can’t wait to see what the blue one runs when it finally gets a clean run,

    Shows that safety in these cars should be priority

    Hahaha I’m glad I made the call early on where the start and finish was going to be for the paint and stuck to it

    thats the best I can do for a photo of the pistons compression ratio is 10.3:1
  22. r32-25t
    Your pistons arrived a lot faster then mine then, I would love to have seen them before they went in though, I put a camera down the spark plug hole and the crown is so big that they have an area to leave clearance for the spark plug electrode
  23. r32-25t
    Thanks, yes it does and I’m pretty sure it’s the first time I’ve seen it out of the box. I opened it a couple of times but I’m pretty sure I never took it out
  24. r32-25t
    Seeing as the broken engine had already gone away from twins I’d say this one will be doing the same
  25. r32-25t
    shit just got real
