very nice mate well done.

U might want to rethink on that cam spec. for that sort of power. Just my opinion only. and those cam cover are going to sizzle a few fingers.

i think i got a phonecall from you, or somebody you know about this engine.

asking me why i had sold them a stuffed gtr engine.

turns out he had the wrong number.

was kinda funny, cause i had sold my rb20 just about two days earlier, but it was to a mate, so i was a little confused at first.

how did it all turn out with the dude in perth?

[johnbarry88]

hey yeah man sorry about the dumbass wrote down the wrong number, yeah nah he wants nothing to do with it...

[N1GTR]

Lucky find with the engine code!

[Col-GTSX]

You'll smash that power figure all day every day...

Looking good dude. I'm very impressed with your enthusiasm, doing all the work yourself and on an apprentice wage. Good for you, all the best with it.

[PWND]

no dramas. whoever i talked to on the phone was polite, but they just wanted to know what the go was.

shame to hear it died on you, but by the sound of it, onto bigger and better things. that block would be worth a bit anyway.

[Russco]

Nice work, my only comment would be a bigger surge tank (assuming you are running the return line back to the surge tank) as you'll find you may strike fuel heating issues in summer (when fuel tank is under half full), alternatively you can run a fuel cooler on the return line which will help.
