[The Bogan]

No new graphs mate, I really should get one, LOL.

When I get my fuel system sorted (was >75% duty at 414 I think from memory) and run 30psi through the TO4Z Ill get one to post up.

I spose because they are 1.5 mm OS. The head was originally modified for the 1.0's. After it came back from NAPREC Hiroyuki took out a bee's dick more for the extra 0.5mm.

See how it goes eh?

Yeah yeah. When they arrive from Jap ill put pics up. Patience boys

Crank and pistons dropped off this arvo. That should not take too long. Head is less than a week away. Double check CR. Going by my calculations a 1.2 mm headgasket will bring it to 8.5:1.

whats the deck height? Are you aiming for a tight squish for this motor?

[Piggaz]

Block hasn't been decked at all. Head has been decked 1.0 mm at NAPREC. We just have to get the head here and take some measurements. From what I can gather the chamber volume is 66.5cc but that's got to be double checked.

Not sure if you have read my thread if not please do so as there is alot of info about squish and its advantages

I remember something about a 33 thou squish. How does this change when one of the pads have been removed?

i guess they have taken the intake squish pad out so you can still set the squish with the one pad all it means it will push the air and fuel towards the intake as this will be the cooler side of the chamber. If your looking at running big boost, this will help it from detonation

You can't have any more black lines in your bay. It will look like a spiders web.

Version 6

Version 6

Looks very neat. Bring on version 10 ,

[Piggaz]

Springs got sent today, manifolds have been sent by SAL. They should be here in 2 weeks. No point paying extra postage for a heavy item got no reason. Pics up soon!

[N1GTR]

Update here, doing it for Paul cause the pics were taken on my phone.

First is dropped all this stuff to Chris at Craved Coatings (look them up, really good work and very reasonable prices) for ceramic coating. This will be back in 2 weeks;

[N1GTR]

Next we went to where Marcus had sent the head (Unigroup), this is the first time it's been seen and has only been in the country a few days.

Typical Marcus wrapping, it's bombproof!

Awesome that he left the flight stickers on - Marcus brought it back as carry on luggage on the plane haha!!!

[Marko R1]

Chris is a good powder coater and yes he is very well priced

[N1GTR]

Needs cleaning of course and then the valve train put in

[N1GTR]

I wont put up the port pics in case Paul wants to keep them to himself and I wouldn't expect anything less as he's paid a lot for this.

Another bit of valvetrain showed up
