Rod bolts are getting sorted by Stevo, so will be a good set no doubt

Going to keep the same turbo for the time being Lith, I know a precision or a new EFR would be a better turbo but I'm quite happy with the power that the turbo is making, will probably get 450 with the new custom grind cams, head work and bumping up the compression.

Going to keep the same standard block Eric, has been through a ton of heat cycles and has handled 420rwkw on the previous set up. Obviously we will make a fair bit more torque now though it should hold together fine. The parts are all top quality, the engine builder is one of the best in the business and so is the guy tuning it :)

Chris Ordered pistons today mate, also hit Yavuz up and he's put the order in for the cams

Waiting for a reply from Marcus about the alternation, and should probably organise the diff soon as well

Can't wait to get this on the road Mico, soon mate

I meant more with reference to the increased cubic capacity of the engine - ie. bigger engine, with the FMW and larger turbine A/R would the spool and general response be as good/better with the prospect of those extra hp at higher rpm if the turbine housing doesn't choke things?

The FMW seems to offer hp benefits but it's a juggling act to maintain response characteristics.

Otherwise, the bigger cubes engine and maintaining turbo spec will surely make for an easy driving package that just floods you with boost at lower rpm and throttle angles than with the 26 engine.

Following with interest.

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
