his new head is still being ported...no rush...these mega builds take time, a lot of care and also patience. Simon will have a good long engine to impress Santa with when he calls into the Buckley house this christmas.

Sorry Simon...i know you want pics...ive been very busy...will get some more up this weekend.

Tomei 270 deg 10.8mm cams and Tomei bronze guides are ordered and on their way...combined with a stage 2 port job this is going to be one awesome head.

whats the go with these double valve springs?

HAHAHAHA yeh that table cloth looks quite tough.

its cost me a fair bit round the 14 15k range... but dont 4get its the ducknuts of bits inluding being a stroker motor. its not just a rods and pistons build.

santa be having a hard time loading the sucka into his sled he had to go buy a gantry to load and offload... thank f*k i aint got a chimney lol

hows the build going?

just waiting on the head to be finished (something thats out of my control)

getting things done by others is an unfortunate reality for me as head porting is white mans magic that i don't have a clue about.

Simon has been very patient which makes it less stressful for all concerned.

wont be too much longer guys and it will be down to Godzilla Motorsport for tuning...then the streets of Hervey Bay will never be the same.

with the size housing ive got i cant see nemore then 620rwhp on98 pump .... safely.... but will be fairly responsive considering ive got a stroker bottom end largish cams and a nicely ported head.... should see full boost hopefully by 4.2 4.5 all the way to 9..... WOO

i know exactly what it will make...

a mess of his rear tyres!

BAHAHAHAH yeh i know this.... can hurt to try a few things and see how we go... might have to run sum semi slicks on the street. do a burnout b4 i leave the yard so i got grip hahahahaha

and belo i think the first time i hit boost in it i will be quite scared but im used to sliding around ive had abit of practice so we'll just see how it acts. im thinking diff may start to have issues.

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
