Thanks lads - it's still a way off, but got it home tonight and goes back later this week. Pinging in high revs, not working with the idle control connected, and auto is not playing nicely ... but even at a mild 6psi, it is getting up and boogying!!

Great to see it in & going....

I can see by the pics theirs still a ways to go but its a starting point non the less.

Well, it's not finished by a long shot, but the engine has breathed to life and is pulling pretty hard - I'll get some video up in the coming day or so.

Still have to tweak it somewhat, and cool it somehow (thinking water/methanol injection), but it's getting there. The old engine is going to be fully rebuilt, decompressed and dropped in down the track once everything else is sorted, so I'm some way away from a fire breather, but heaps better than previous (especially the torque).

A bajillion thanks to Patch for all his insite and assistance - you're a star mate and I can't thank you enough. Special mention to Tony (YNOT) also for input and assistance throughout the process.

Hahaha ... was going to print the thread off and make a coffee table magazine, then thought a full size hard cover, now I'm thinking a series of books like Harry Potter or something!!!! lmao

Stuck in another TB42 with a turbo and a few other goodies .. probably getting (very much estimated) about 40% increase in power and torque at the moment on only 6-7 lb boost ... when it's all said and done, should be looking at 200+ kw's at the rear wheels and about 800nm of torque ...

Fun and games boss, fun and games!!!

Back to the Xbox!!!

Hey Bigrig. Your truck is simply a work of art. I understand that it has a 3" suspension lift is there a body lift of any sort? Also what size tyres are you running? Thanks

G'day mate - many thanks for the kind words!!!

Running a 5" lift with 33" Maxxis Bighorn muddies ... and a few other goodies of course!!! No body lift and to be honest, not considering one ... but stranger things have happened!! lmao

Engine is my priority at the moment with turbo already in and the intercooler going in on Tuesday ...
