So over due an update.
Been on a mission past few days, I start work at 3am and get back home at 12. I have to stop working when the Mrs arrives home from work at 7pm so gives you the timescale on how quickly this has come together
Piston rings arrived Thursday evening so I took to building the block back up Friday with the goal of getting the bottom end sealed in one day.
Cleaned the block and crank just before install and it's been washed 4x now so it's all super clean in there.
Then Saturday was about getting the rest of the engine built and the engine in the car, managed to get all that done in under 5hours, the whole cars just put itself together pretty much!
All wired up, plumbed up(other than inlet and turbo)
Then today I got the box on the car(on my own on the driveway) and got it all bolted up on its own mounts.
I'm off work tomorrow so I should get this ready to start by end of play, assuming nothing breaks before hand!
Only thing left to purchase is a smaller alternator belt because the "Race" version of the fluidampr is 40% underdrive so the oem belt is wayyy to long lol
Hopefully I'll have an update that says the car runs tomorrow.
If not then I'll have a wanted post for a b18c4 lol
