I have had this ute since February 2011, bought it second hand with 21,000kms on it and drove it as a standard ute for a while. I did a few small things to it, put some springs in it and changed the intake, nothing major at all. Then decided at some point that it wasn't enough, so added a few bolt on goodies... This consisted of; GTX35 with external gate ID725 injectors PW Surge Tank with 044 PW Stage 2 IC NPC Heavy Duty Clutch Atomic Valve Springs This was good enough to make 507kW at the wheels, and run an 11.75 @ 119mph with a 1.62 60ft. I should have probably been pretty happy with that in a fairly middle modified manual ute... But then for some reason, on the 18th October 2012, I decided to pull the engine out to make some more power. ... So four long years later and the engine is complete and in the car, the car is yet to be tuned but the aim will be somewhere between 850-900hp (630-670kW) The list of modifications has grown, my bank account has shrunk but I am sure it will all be worth it when I get to drive it. Engine built by Colin Lloyd @ Headsense Mahle Pistons Manley Rods Atomic billet oil pump Atomic 16mm main cap girdle Atomic 14.3mm head stud kit Atomic Ovate valve springs Custom Cam grinds Atomic Vernier camshaft sprockets Cylinder head ported and flowed Crankshaft balanced and heat treated Garrett GT4294 6boost manifold Custom 4inch dump & exhaust Turbosmart 50mm wastegate Turbosmart 50mm race port BOV Turbosmart eBoost 2 PW Stage 2 intercooler with custom piping PW surge tank with twin Walbro 460s PW dual entry fuel rail Turbosmart Fuel Regulator Bosch 2200cc injectors Custom power steering reservoir relocation Xtreme twin ceramic clutch The ute also now sports Brembos & a set of Pedders XA coil overs in the front corners. The tuning will be done by Clint @ Profile, I will check back here once it is all done and update. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't compute ID725's and 119mph and equal 507rwkw, maybe 407..? Or maybe I don't know sh*t, always possible. Any case, love ya work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a few little things to iron out with the exhaust location and an issue with a very long brake pedal but I'll get that sorted. Very happy with the progress so far 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
