I give it two months after you have the block built and engine running before you decide your "stock" boltons won't be sufficient enough

Knowing you can bolt on a decent turbo, exhaust, intake and fueling to make 300 plus will get the better of you - I'm willing to bet on it

Hahaha the temptation for the big turbs will definitely be there...... Heck its already here.!! Hahah

I have made a pact with myself. If the turbo is good then it stays!

We are saving to upgrade to a bigger house , so that is priority !!

If the turbo goes , then i have no choice.!!

And senator. Nick from NRG auto is doing the build and his machinist which is Balmain engineering i think!!

2 italian old school blokes ( Nick and Zorro ).... Funny stuff!!

So my heads and block are done and has been done a decent chunk under budget as it was all pretty good and didnt require too much work. Also i think NRG is doing me a bit of a favour as ive been a customer for 10years.

It wont make next weeks swap as NRG are snowed under this week, so it may be later next week i will drop my car off and then pick it up around the 3rd/4th of december...... Just in time for the cruise!!

Fingers crossed!!

I will be going down tomorrow to drop some cash off and hopefully i can take some pics if its back to NRG then.

Cant wait to see this built engine in action. Im sure im not the only one

Just to add. A lot of time, effort and stress it seems has gone into this big decision to rebuild im sure it will be well worth the heartache and all the best with the build
