Re: FX Holden Race Car Project
not other than the restriction in the turbo itself.... just had a little garrett website read, says the restrictor depends on the oil pressure of the motor.....
I'm not sure what that's going to be lol.

better be BB .... paid enough for it!
yeah the cross bolts is an ANDRA requirement for any car with a turbo that doesn't have a muffler, the idea is that if the turbo wheel decides to part company, it will either fully catch it or if nothing else deflect and slow it down!
in other news, blocks been bored and honed and I'm picking it up this arvo to start dummying up!

Re: FX Holden Race Car Project
Finally some progress
Dummied up the bottom end, measured the deck height and then ripped it back apart, and the block is back at the machine shop for .010 off the top!
