Seems like you're working hard, should be a nice project :)

If you're going to be doing a lot of porting, just be careful where all the filings get, if you leave anybehind you could cause real damage I'm sure. Masking things off is a brilliant way to save cleaning up surfaces that will need it (the top of the block for example that has streaks of paint on it) :D

I've never done anything like you're doing though, but I'd watch the little stuff like that.

Best of luck with it all :D

yeah cheers :) i plan to have a very lite skim just to make sure its totally flat so i wasnt to worried lol... i`ll hone it myself tho with the drill attachment :D
The pistons n rods are at my m8`s getting swop`d over, so 5e rods and 4e pistons as its just a basic build to see how i get on lol, a be fine for 250ish bhp with other mods i reckon :)

Looks good lad, even without boost the 5E upgrade just makes the car far nicer to drive and you get a slightly throatier exhaust note.

She's running well. I've developed the start of a crack on my exhaust mani but apart from that she's grand. I'm only running 1 bar on the TD05 hybrid which seems slow to me now but its still enuogh to loose traction in 3rd on wet roads, so I guess its not too bad.

New map going in hopefully in the coming week, then cams and metal HG in June after the next 1/4 mile event.

All in all, I'm really enjoying it and I hope u get the same from yours lad!

i did use the 4e pan lol, i got a spare from a m8 but he took the oil return pipe for his build and i had a pan from an engine that the rod snapped n put a huge hole in, so rather than use the pan of my engine i just used parts from the 2 knackerd ones to make 1 good one... another reason is im building this with a spare engine and parts from a glanza and gt i broke so i can still use mine until its ready to swop the engines over, then i`ll sell the 4e from mine :)
