When are you jumping in at Paul's? I will be there in a couple of weeks as I will do the "running in of the engine" myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) The engine is all apart, looks in pretty good condition, thats what regular oil changes does for you, this engine is much better than most of the engines we see these days: Borg Warner S366 turbo as it is now, sent it off to Boostlab today to have the billet compressor wheel installed, I'll update with some more pictures when it comes back: The crankshaft ready to be sent off for balancing Bare engine block ready for Titan Motorsports billet main caps Edited October 13, 2014 by Littler (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 The last items are leaving MVP today. The ACL race bearings that I ordered back in June 2012 have finally arrived (they have been heavily backordered). They should be at Whifbitz by end of this week. I also asked Darren to tidy up the engine bay. I want everything in black, no more blue cables/hoses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 When are you getting the turbo back Paul? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 When are you getting the turbo back Paul? Probably next week I think. There was a week delay because of this poxy weather and it takes a few days to get the polishing and ceramic coating done. I'll update this thread ASAP of course.

Paul Whiffin Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Your turbo is all done Luc, looks rather sexy doesn't it! Polished compressor housing, ceramic black heat coated exhaust housing and the billet compressor wheel.
