ACL race series set top end freshen up, new heads, valve stem seals gaskets etc Crow cams heavy duty valve springs shes running really good, been averaging 10-11L /100km and thats full throttle everywhere with some cruizing thrown in.... gonna take her easy with the turbo for a bit sick when shes all tuned ill come out with you guys, shes running fella's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j8cXRrMl4I .....more or less some final ajustments some pro photos now http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...2-03-07_19.jpg (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c295/paradox616/P02-03-07_19.jpg) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looks good man lol cant wait to see hoe its runs .. Are you running a internal wastegate or using a external one ? What are u gonna do about your transmition ? will it hold the boost you are running ok or you gonna deck it out

gonna deck it out soon enough, or let it go bang

dump pipe welded and fits, she goes on for good tommorrow

Sweet! Can't wait to see/hear this thing in action! I'm sure the youtube movie didn't do your car justice, although it did sound tough as!

hahahah that video sounded soo crap, in real life it had a REALLY lumpy idle, ill borrow my brothers video camera and film some stuff for youtube its looking like this now

looking good champ how much power you expecting to make once its fully finished and running well ?

well given the engine size, capacity and setup, anywhere from 200rwkw-250rwkw once tuned correctly, then when i get my engine built over 300rwkw and bypass the wastegate and set the turbo free

very nice... have u got the race series in it now??? that vn from SC made 250rwkw with them easy and some of the ford boys have been making over 300 with them too.
