I think you should make a members ride thread

Does the turbo blanket makes noticeable different to your bay temp?

haha i knew fto-007 had a sneaky turbo build, all those suss questions over last 2 years hahahaha

Massive difference

Super tidy!

Yup sex pee achieved, thanks I needed that.

You know it's not a turbo till you post your dyno sheet though.

yes it is very clean i am the first owner in australia bought it from sydney with 28 000kms with log books was the cleanest one i could find in a year of looking for one. it has been driven it the rain twice in 9 years yes i heat wrapped the whole exhaust to keep the underbonnet temps down also added 2 extra thermo fans to help. Im running a wolf v500 computer when the inlet temps get too hot it takes out timing and makes it run rich also wont let you boost it over a certain part ive never had a problem with it over heating with the heat tape not sure how well it works as i didnt have a before and after to see
The engine was broken in on the dyno and was set at a very safe tune. it made 227.9hp atw on 12 psi. i told the tuner EFI performance north yatala who i was very impressed with its not about power at this stage just get a safe tune as it will be up later on to get a full power run as they havent turned mivec on or cams dilled in also running rich liminter was set to 6800rpm. the heads have been ported and polished, on the flow bench they flow 400hp @ 12psi. the comp has been lowered to 8:1 with $600 of coatings on the pistons to run nos and high temps, Forged Con Rods i could keep going and going here

And you should in your own build/members ride thread
Finally the silence is broken. That thing sounds so amazing!!! How much did the process set you back??
Awesome!!

um the cost well it kinda got abit out of control the only thing i didnt do was was "build" the engine i gave wes engines a block and heads...i done all the research in pistons,rods,cams,injectors,custom exhaust,turbo,intercooler well everything the rest i done myself...cost $27 000 so far. it is the most you can modifi a 6a12 the best of the best.

Nice man. I work in Yatala. Next time your up let me know, would love to see this thing in person.
