Someone that gets it. cheers dude. And i don't know why people keep saying 50k. I nearly do everything myself to or have friends that help if i can't do it and i have been doing the car for 12 years. Hope your build is going well.

I don't understand why everyone is ripping in to him. I have seen the car in person, it is a fucking nice car, with big coin spent everywhere, not just on the engine.. Good luck with it mate, can't wait to see it back out at MallaNats. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ok awesome, I will! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I think it sounds like a cool car/build. As above, your money, your car-your choice. Would be cool to see some pics when you can get them up.

lol at turismo and chad

lol indeed. Its build thread time. You asked for advice on a public forum and then argued the advice given by those in the know. (Not me, I dont know all that much, but the first couple of pages). I apologise if you took my comments the wrong way, I'm supportive of you doing as you wish and want to see what you are up to. However all i've seen so far is a shopping list.

man i wish you all the best with it, you will always find haters on the forum. ---------- Post added 21-10-12 at 17:25 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by MADVLT1 [View Post] Well my motor is finally built and was on the engine dyno today.

Done the first power run to 6200rpm on 22 psi and it made 738 hp and 600ftlbs of torque with 15deg timing across the board. Put a few more deg timing in it for the second run. got to about 6000rpm and the turbo blew up so that was the end of that. tuner and engine builder reckons it will make 1000hp no worries. now i just have to wait for the turbo to be fixed. is this behind a manual or auto?

I got the form today at the horsepower show and had a chat. The organizer told me he plans on having other events on while the burnouts are on thank *****. This being the case and if the cars running I'll be there.

Are you doing a few things to it. Turbo will be here in 2 weeks. Going to be pushing it to get it tuned and in the car.

Im not a hater at all im just interested . granted i could have worded it better but id hate to see some you put big cash on something that you take for one drive and think wow i have made a bad decision. "Its not going to be a dedicated track car. I still drive it on the street" I just hope you thought about others safety in making that decision. Its to much power for the road Simple as that. IMHO I know there are more powerfull cars on the road from factory but your machine is over kill But your cash your car

No plans ATM, drive it while it's running!
