        Are you going to protect the rubber hose that taps into the turbo housing? It seems like it's in a potentially hot area!

        Sweet work! The pistons and rods look really sexy (and light)!

            The engine has now been test driven with 0,7 bar boost for ~1000km and it's not perfectly tuned yet it'll be dynoed during winter. The charger and injection parts are good for ~600 hp, the bottom end for even more.

            The hose has been mounted to top of engine and exhaust housing now has a heat shield.

                            Nice project! I own soem Wisecos as well. I just started my engine, so not much feedback on those yet.

                            How much boost? Power? Torque?

                            I'm planing to buy those seats soon!:)

                            Nice animal you got there!

                              Nice work, time to tidy up the wiring/etc. in the engine bay.

                              Glad to see some old E3S guys come back around.
