looks good building a simular motor myself for racing, just one thing the Nozz manifold looks as though it will be very close to the rear heat shield come bulk head, or is just a trick of the camera

Well the ko manifold came. Looked very nice. Much better porting to the last one, and larger tubes. All in all very nice. Sent it off to Zircotec to get it coated in their performance ceramic coating. And now its down with 3S getting all bolted together. So will fill you in on news soon.

Looking good!, Your new Turbocharger looks like a Precision unit.

It looks huge in that photo. What model is it ?.

well my new ko manifold worked a treat apparently. james told me it made 500hp easily. Sadly due to the heat though, with the chargecooler pipes going over the top of the manifold and turbo, the intake temps are getting too high. So now im having 3s make me a rear facing intake manifold with an 80mm throttle body, and the chargecooler will be getting shifted to the boot. I didnt really want to stick much more in the boot, but the project seems to be taking over practicality now. So once ita all moved and sorted, i might be aiming for even higher power levels. Also ordered some uprated CRW CV joints to handle the power. Oh, and my gearbox has started making noises apparently, so getting that overhauled... again. So thats where i'm at now. 550-600hp, we'll see.
