It could be worse. At least I still have hair.

No offence to those that don't though.

yip its clean, but ill wrap it in a sheet just in case. may i ask why you need one for?

[Mushroom]

want an extended sump and Mikeygtr said this would be fine for me and no where near as expensive as an aftermarket one

[shanef]

looking nice

it's getting there, finally. the farken oil drains are giving me the shits now, as the way i was going to run them, the hoses foul on the exhaust, now i gotta go and get more fittings

[Mushroom]

lol welcome to modifying cars

[shanef]

yehhhh. i went into pirtek on tuesday to get some fittings, i wanted to run a t-piece straight off the block, but they didnt have one with a thread on it, so i had to get a 3-way hose connector t-piece and run hose from the fitting in the block into the t-piece and then run hose from the turbo drains into the t-piece, but the t-piece sits too far away from the block, and theres stuff all bend in the hose.

[Mushroom]

yes I hopefully have to deal with this in the next couple of weeks

I saw my engine yesterday and the pistons are in and she is progressing, had to tunnel hone a couple of saddles but she is all cool. I expect her back early next week. But talking to Dan my turbo is stuffed so have to decide what to get and save (looks like more noodle lunches)

[shanef]

sweet as man! what configuration are u using again? is it still the 25?

[Mushroom]

its a 25 block but the displacement is just over 2.6 and the cams are custom (low lift nearly like a poncam) and upgraded valves and valve springs and very ported head work. The crank has been strengthed and polished and balanced. thats most of it in a nutshell there is more but we don't have all night and I want to know more about yours

[shanef]

heh u've done more to ur engine than me, well machining wise...what do u want to know?

[Mushroom]

I want around 500rwhp and the least amount of lag as I am liking circuit rather than drag. I was talking to dan about 30 mins ago and we were thinking a 650hp turbo. I already have a nice external wastgate (tial) and really would like to use it as it seems a waste not to and means I don't have to change the manifold.

[shanef]

that should be a real weapon, i think the headwork u've done will help alot in getting the huffer to work at its best. you should be able to get a turbo so suit pretty easily cant wait to see it, any idea of when we should expect to see it running?

[Mushroom]

not sure really depends on funds as to when you see it, but I am trying to get it running asap so then i can register it and work on the bodywork you should come round one time and have a look at the rest of the car.

[Mushroom]

yeah thats what i am wanting thats why I wanted the head ported pretty well, and then I decided well i have done this much may as well finish it off

Howdy

[Mushroom]

hey hows it doing
