after looking at those last pics of the engine dismantled etc i seriously can't wait to see this all put together!! I especially wanna see how the white painted covers look in the bay (hope you're cleaning your engine bay while it's empty too!!).

is it weird to get hard looking at engine internals/parts?

you should see whats air brushed onto the engine cover :):banana: ........thanks for the reminder i knew i had to clean something ..what do you think the best thing to clean it with besides elbow grease :O

airbrushed....oh you didnt..... how could you?!?!? haha i suppose each to their own. maybe if it was something reaaaaally tacky like zebra or leopard print i wouldn't mind it - but you've probably done a silly 'graphic' of skulls or something haven't you? haven't you!!?! come on, lets see it.

degreaser for real grubby parts or just use car wash stuff probably. and yes, ample portions of elbow grease unfortunately.

skulls are for novice ive gone one big step up from that ive put the cast of high five on it having a orgy with teletubies .......perfection what do you think.

boys....boys the key word is save your money and it will happen for you it took me a while to save the money $60 a week for two years plus my tax money for two years plus selling shit on ebay putting up with dickheads and just knowing what you want and doing it and giving up smoking and having more money .,and having good friends to help paint things and air brush things and build engines for you..so anyone can do it ive been doing it that way for a long time so all i can say is if you really love something than just do it.....even if it takes 2years

sitting down waiting for things to happen does not work

EG.

Have seen cam covers painted like this, in various jap color schemes over the years. Looks ok but its hardly original.

Thanks for sharing the build tho bro, well done.

o well there goes that idea of being the first thanks for your input :/

great job, nice work, Cover Looks awsome. I bet your excited. I know i would be.. Lucky man! I feel intimidated somewhat, knowing that beast could be lurking around on the street real soon.

good luck with the build, HOpefully all goes well..

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
