Time for a bit of an update.

The engine has been rebuilt.

JE forged pistons and Eagle con rods for greater strength.
Bored over .5mm as the block was fairly worn.
All bearings replaced with Clevite77.
All gaskets are Felpro. Unfortunatly copper or MLS headgaskets are hard to come by, especially when you need to finish NOW due to other cars going down.

The turbo system was put together by myself. It consists of a modified steel log manifold, custom modified intake manifold to accept top feed injectors and a T3 .48.42 50trim turbo to start.

I am currently running 8f version of the hi-res extra code. After one drive I decided to keep using it as it eliminated virtually all of my runability issues.

No dyno yet as I am still working out some bugs such as getting the boost controller to work and such.

Another update:

engine under heavy load - oil pump = big mess & end of project.
