Yes I took the head back to pigsy's brother to straighten and port the head. There was nothing wrong with the bottom end , until I got it tuned at a workshop. I never doubt'd robbie's work. He's a champion and a really good engine builder. When this Ls1 goes pop I will be taking it to him to build. I dont know why the f**k I have to explain something to someone who thinks they know MY own build.

well at least you go lots of attention! cause this is what this thread is all about isnt it?

This thread about Richie LS1 turbo build, leave the old build out of it. If you have something to say about anything other than LS1 Turbo's send him a PM

Good luck with the build, hope it goes better than the last and with more power and reliabilty.

lol troy loving his 2jness the proof is in the pudding (or however that saying goes lol) with the LS1s! TUFCAB runs a standard LS1 with valve springs and pumps our 400rwkw+ on low boost with a carb setup! and already have a built driveline and fuel system makes things much easier looking forward to the results Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Quote: well at least you go lots of attention! cause this is what this thread is all about isnt it? hahahaha so where exactly does a 2j reach the point with a standard block where the power is "a lot" .... given that 600rwkw apparently isn't "a lot" of power...?

Race cars not dyno's. if it has plates, drive it on the road. Or just sit at home and watch "home and away" Whitey

a std 2j block can handle alot more than 600rwkw before it needs concrete ect ryan woons latest 6spd car runs 1406rwhp (not sure what type of dyno) and has no concrete what so ever in it and thats just boost alone, no gas

I think he meant like not being completed by a workshop? But he is right, you're getting stuck into it mate! What size stall did you go with in the glide? Jason. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Been on the phone to the box shop. Its not going to be friday...DoH! ..... Waiting on some parts and my convertor. I ordered a 3000rpm stall. Will go nice with my transbreak. Yeah I dont muck around. Also still waiting on my starter which is about 3 weeks away. Parts are the only thing holding me up. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeh i mean not a workshops showyoff car type thing.. just your personal car.
