As for the turbo ben im shit house with the numbers but he did mention a while back of a gtx3074 or sometihng like that. He was talking about so many things it just went over my head.

Well, if everything works, i.e loom works, starts and runs, i dont see theres a crap load to do. The longest bit would be removal of the anchor, cut and then reweld the new mounts. Pretty meuch everything else is either already in there, or sitting in boxes in the back of the car. All oem fits parts so.... Dunno. They know i need it run in and ready for the school holidays as we are driving up to the gold coast. So in my head im thinking if they go at it and dont stop until its done they could do it witihn a week. But my last thought on how long it would take to build the motor blew out by about 4 weeks. So who knows.Quote:

Fcuk thats a good price. Thats what mine came up at without turbo, pump, cooler etc and I spent 30-35 hours doing the porting myselfQuote:

Sounds good mudski you wont know yourself.
I hope they give you all the paperwork for the blue printing and balancing.
I know your excited as well mate but you really need to know where your money is going. Its also good knowledge to having knowing what is sitting under your bonnet.
Have to say quite jealous markie, should be a bloody good motor that will be reliable for a very long time. You've gone about it the right way getting everything done properly, price sounds pretty reasonable really. . .

Maybe for the first month or two you'll be happy... especially if it just a matter of a new tune to get more power mate you'll be all over that.
Probably, but its not all about peak power, torque is what I really want. For towing. I'm no expert at these motors, so we'll see. I don't think I will be disappointed though.Quote:

:p
There are a couple of differences though... it's silver, has A/C and is 170,000km younger.
It looks super tidy too, which is why I'm interested in it.
Long storyQuote:

You really need to hear this thing in anger , better than you know what
Great looking Y62 as well white with ARB deluxe bar ,rails and side steps
and a Rasslar rear bar colour coded, till next week Someone may run into him
if they are in the area
Driving through the black spur yesterday from Marysville I passed a Y62 that just had a fantasti note as he powered out of the corner! not sure what engine / exhaust work was done, but it certainly was impressive!

Even the oncologist was surprised at how good the results were, long way to go yet but I believe he will definitely beat this. And more importantly, he believes he will beat it too. :biggrin:
