What stroke crank are you running?

Hey ozyvr4,

Cheers mate, Start up is a way off i would think there is still cooler, radiator, oil cooler, braided lines, fuel system, plumbing, ecu, exhaust and the gas to do. Ive been saying xmas this year for the last 3 years now and dont want to predict anymore, because there is always something that fucks up on the build and sets you back heaps.

[ozyvr4]

Yeah don't rush champ.

Its going to be 1 tuff car.

[SIVART]

[VR42LT]

update time.

Clutch and fly wheel on with the box too, looking at pipng, cooler and radiator being made this week. Also gate, screamer and dump pipe being fabricated too.

Two walbro 500hp rated intank pumps.

Nice work Wade. Great attention to detail.
What way are you going to go for ignition/spark and ECU?
Got an ETA when we can expect the beast to be up and running - say ready for Summer?

Thanks Rob, I was going to use motec but i cant justify the coin although they do a cheaper street version now so im still not sure the only other ecu i would use is a haltech. Ignition and spark regardless of what ecu will be CDI.

As for eta IT WILL BE FINISHED BEFORE XMAS THIS YEAR and before i bring it over here i wana go for cruise past the tugs once more up your way Rob ( i used to live in Maitland )
