turbo/manifold/wastegate arrived, decided against the FP Green so I will be able run higher boost without worrying.

HKS GT3037S, from what I gather its a GT3076R in HKS clothing

Its rather large

That turbo is awesome and will make it go,
Should make what, 550 horses or so?
I've been in a car with that very blower,
It comes in very hard with more and more.

A bit later spooling than the likes of the green,
But harder when it does so you'll never be seen,
Up the straight at knockhill I'd like to wager,
In an RS I reckon it's a bloody danger!!

Thats brilliant, you are on a roll today

hoping for about 500bhp and spooling at 3800rpm, bit later in the range but should make it feel faster at least.

There's something beautiful about a turbo, and what a monster that one looks like.

Well, engine is in and running

Watch on YouTube

Took it out its first drive on sunday and found a few leaks which are already sorted.
Drives really well, just need to break it in and then get it mapped.

Also got some new seats and bits to go in but need to find time to fit them

Well done mate - what a cracking effort!

You must be delighted - look forward to seeing it

Cheers

It's a nice and strange feeling at the same time, will be very happy when the mapping is done.

Can't wait to get it up to knockhill, aim is middle of this year

Amazing job Phil - where the heck did you get the know-how to pull all of that together?!

Sounds evil and a little bit S1 Exige lumpy idle-ness; hope that stays when it gets mapped?

Looking forward to a shot next time I am home.

Pretty much just reading engine builds on forums and a workshop manual for torque specs, ah the joys of the internet

Great work Phil, i am nowhere near brave enough to build my own engine.

Car looks a minter too
