Well,

Project lemon turned out to be just that, a lemon. As most of you know she threw a leg outta bed @17psi. Yet to find out what it is, but I dare say its a combo of dogsh*te tune for I don't know how long and now it finally could be used properly ( all piping was tight, no vac leaks, fresh oil ) meant when I gave it a gutful the poor engine was already too tired and gave up. Plan is to find a donor xr6t engine, stick it in, piss it off. It looks the part at least.

It'll make way for not a dual cab forby, but an F6! the boys conned me into another turbo, so why not. On the upside I already have 1000cc injectors, a GTX with external gate and 4" dump.

Happy Daizzz

not yet man, gonna pull the engine out of the ba myself and get someone to fit the new one. The new mini project will be the f6 when I get the house and my own garage, but I'm gonna try not to go mental on it haha. already ave an idea of what I want it to look like though. this time will be machined wheels, different colour scheme, still a white car fingers crossed

Everyone said the same ahout the FG though, it's ugly until someone lowers it and throws some rims on, then it's the new best thing again.

Quick question

How do you mate a NA block with built internals to a turbo head? And is the a problem with the NA crankshaft?
