Nice work mate. Looks to be a bit of a beast! How much torque is expected? Wonder what all that\ll be like thru the front wheels...much fun i guess! lol

I've heard that anything over 250bhp through the wrong wheels is a waste.

Just to let everybody know that this has been done this weekend, engine came out, KO3s off and sold, KO4 on and engine back in and running. Tiny setbacks include a small oil leak (from sump - needs new gasket) and a water leak from water feed (needs O-ring) apart from that it works fine and just needs boost pipes made up and a remap 280bhp here I come! Il get some pics up on the project thread when its done  :cool:

Top work fella  :cool:

Will defo have to meet now for a passenger ride - once its done of course  :grin:
Cheers,

Paul.
