My build is in progress :) bought a worked and complete head with all the goodies, dan from erd is going to build my engine, happy all round :)

Nicely done! That motor should be wicked after receiving the Dan touch.

No I didn't buy it, rather spend the $2200 getting the engine finished first. And after seeing the 6266 result on the 26 engine punch out 500 rwkw or what ever it was I'm deciding between different turbos again

it will be interesting to see how long that 26 of simons lasts with the 6266. He is chucking a lot of boost at it thats for sure. Should make a build thread!!!

What Ideas do you have for the engine at this stage. Do you know what injectors, Manifold, Plenum etc you are looking towards?

I have a front facing plenum with 90mm throttle body

Engine will be forged with cp pistons and spool rods, arp main, rod, head studs. Keeping vct inlet cam as dan made a good point about it. Head is built with new upgraded parts.

Fuel system will be 2 044 pumps from surge tank with nismo intank, 2000 Id injectors. Dash 8 fuel lines. I want the surge tank mounted under the car though for simplicity running flex fuel setup

6 boost t4 split pulse manifold, 4 inch turbo back exhaust

Will be pushing what ever turbo I get to maximum capacity with what the fuel can handle.

I will start a build thread soon.

How's your car going to Scott? ANy dramas?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
