things that where do to it -
a new bottom end pistons & rings,rods & bearings, main bearing set, cylinder block clean & hone, new cam belt, water pump,crankshaft linish, all new gaskets, cylinder head bolts, head port and polish and port match, vacum test heads, balance engine assembly,surface grind cylinder heads and a service as well (oils and so on)
and a high flow cat going in tomorrow.
it was put up on the dyno and run in and then a power test at this point its running 95ron fuel and it got 128kws atw and will be re tested after the highflow cat gos in.
I still have to do the pipe work upgraid to a 2.5" pipe and extractors so I dont think it will change a lot untill then

manofwood · Post by **manofwood** » Sat Dec 01, 2007 10:21 am

he didn't use paint, he polished it with 50 hrs wirth of sandpaper. that's bare metal you're looking at. gotta put the elbow in to get that kind of finish
