acid weakens the cell structure of the metal , thats why i said it loses its integrity (strength) you are much better off literally soaking ur block in used engine oil , as you know metal is a pourous element , the oil will seep in and give a form of lubrication to the fibrous nature of the metals casting. please tell us what u have planned for your car - it sounds like its gonna be pretty f uckin quick , u goin twin turbos. i am , i plan on running twin t88h34gk's and hopefully a small shot (100hp) nos to try and get them spooling a little.

Well I've given up on my car guys. I sat down before and thought about the costs involved in getting it how I want it. And then I looked at how much money I had, would have if I sold it. And decided its time to go on, any s2 calais turbo (manaul preferred) in QLD that you know of, let me know asap.

I find this amusing, you could save yourself $7000!!!!!
