Just received an e-mail from Will at JHH. After a lot of miscommunication and non-communication... My block is assembled... And my head has been ported, guides installed and valve seats cut. All that is left is the clean and final assembly! :):):):):)

bababababannnnggg!

I'm confident! :)

Put the tensioners on tomorrow or monday if I get a chance then the head can go on, put the timing belt on, make sure the pistons dont hit the valves (important step lol) and then I'll be running out of excuses. May take the Skyline off the road next time I'm home from work and pull the other engine out, send the clutch away and have it ready to put the new one in the round after

I REALLY am running out of excuses not to finish it now

More photos, today made some pretty big steps :)

Manifold and turbo arent bolted on at the moment, just there for some final alignment/modifications. So hopefully will pull the car off the road next time I'm back from work, work out the dump/wastegate setup and then get it all happening :)

Looks like an dirty old diesel turbo Cal.

Get off the drugs :P

I'm keen for first startup but will be a bit nervous as well to see if the oil control is gonna be alright.

I've always been a fan of s15's. They feel alot faster with minimal mods compared to skylines at least. 3071 and supporting mods would be fun enough

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
