Not sure yet.. around the 230rwkw we think. Judging by other turbo e series up here.
It's still got a long way to go. But little shit, like the red pinstripe the wanker painter painted over.
It runs a j3'ed EB ecu.
Tuned by axeman.
044, surge tank, 62ib injectors.

Final plan is same shit as everyone else, T56, forged motor, kaaz, new coilovers retrim ect ect

Looks good man, quite a tidy EB you have there. Get some more, close up pics of the motor and interior. Would be keen to see some more :)
Sounds like you have some good plans. Axeman will have that going off its head by the time you are done lol ;)

Cheers Scott :drinks2:

Dale just got it back from Axeman. Spewing this wasn't a month earlier! Although, half the fun wouldn't have happened then! How long until Adelaide Hill's fastest taxi has all it's gears again?

Although Dale understates it all the time. The quality and detail in this build is something to be proud of.

Alot of respect for the fact you've made a plan, and stuck with it. It's really starting to show its impact as everything comes together.

Well my original motor was not playing nice and blew every gasket possible. Way to much blow by :(

So as a temp fix until I can get enough cash together to rebuild my original bottom end. I got a decent AU motor. That retuned and ready to go. It pulled 200rwkw at 4000rpm with a badly slipping clutch and a breather hose issue.

All going good now, but still need decent clutch.

Other shit now, ultra lows in rear, coil overs taken down, S2 ghia seats, el gt's on, and many a hard night hammering it through the Adelaide hills.

Small update. Looking at getting an Atomic 698kw bottom end rebuild kit for the AU block. Got Lewis engines building the motor with the atomic kit and a proper set up head.
Then going to try 15psi and see what the T5 does. Haha

Got a couple pics from a friend at ignition images
