Hi all.

Been away last few months.First the good news,Gear box works just fine.Now the bad news.Took it for a run,put the foot in saw 20 psi on the boost gauge then nothing else cause the smoke blotted everything out including the road.Motor just lost power and went very quite.So did I.Wife not happy when came to tow me home.Turbo still spins ok,timing belts and timing ok.Compresion test next, 4 gave 150 psi cold after sitting for 3 months.Whoopee.3=75  2=55  1=55.Not so good.So as some bygone king said,Off with the head.1 2 pistonsburnt down side bore scored but not too bad 3much better  4 still has the cross hatching still very prominent.Sump off and pop the pistons,very sad.Gets hot in there.All these can be fixed with time and momey.(ive got the time).

Big Question is why.

Who in Perth for rebore and pistons Forged  (???)

Where for bearings gaskets etc.

This motor unknown history.Has big exhaust,16g turbo welded to manifold and has bov .Pistons are branded  Mitsubishi. air cleaner is a pod.Injectors are marked 450.

Would like to make this little bus my daily driver so will be treated well but nice to have some passing power on the highway.
