Re: 5S - Second engine rebuild required already!!!
Not a great deal to report. Fuel system is being finished this week, and then it's away next week to have an exhaust and intercooler pipework fabricated. It'll be back to Peters after that for the last few odd jobs before turning the key.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Running in a rebuilt 3S-GTE and what oil to use???
Thanks for the replies fellas. Engine still isn't in yet so I've still got plenty time before I do the first 50 miles... Still to go over this with Peter. But I think I'll take the mixed (road and dyno) approach - if Peter agrees. It'll be EvoTune (Durham) or Wallace Performance (Aberdeen) for dyno ...

Nur Spec was quite loud. You'll hear it on the video below.
Not the best quality but hopefully give you an idea.

Re: 5S - Second engine rebuild required already!!!
Nice update. Noticed you have a different exhaust manifold, sure it was a full race before, looks like a TTE version? Got any close ups of the porting for the waste gate? Interested to see if it's done the same way as mine. Thanks mate. Good to see someone still interested in this build :lol: I did...

Re: 5S - Second engine rebuild required already!!!
Happy with the work that's been done by Peter, but still have this horrible gut feeling something's not going to play ball when it comes to turning the key / mapping... I think because this has been off the road so long and I've had so many ups and downs with it, it almost feels wrong to think posit...

Interesting read.
Graeme / Greeny,
Do you still stand by your run in procedure?
I'll hopefully be running mines in next month so a few things to keep in mind!
