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.
