  1. It's Wednesday, I'll give you that. I have doms and it's sucking harder than a hooker on a Saturday night. Haha I ain't even going to do any car work until it subsides, so next week sometime.
  2. The ones in it now are high km stock turbo pistons, one of them has a cracked ring land. The ones going in it are used cp bullet forged pistons, hence coating them to make them serviceable again. Hp Academy has many courses, engine building being one of them. Look into it if you want to learn more.
  3. Winning is winning
  4. No I haven't bought a battery yet, I forgot. I will get one this week though, so it will be sorted when it gets rebuilt. The rings, bearing and rod bolts arrived today, if I wasn't slack I would have the pistons ready but I've been sore from lifting weights and sitting on the toilet is a struggle lol. I'll get the pistons done tomorrow, then get a start on yanking the engine out. For anyone who is interested, the current piston to bore clearance is 5.5 thou, which is fine if you wanna go apesh*t with the boost. Being that I'm gonna coat them and not go apesh*t, any extra clearance will be taken up by the coating. I'm gonna run this in a bit more gentle than usual to let the coating survive the run in process. Usually I would give the rings 20 minutes to half an hour to seal up, which is all it takes, then go full send. The rings will still get the half an hour of run in, but I'll give it a week or two before cranking it up. Anyhow there is that, here's a pic of a clean piston vs a dirty one, they're all clean now so just gotta give them a wash and dry, then get to coating. They have been blasted with glass bead to give them a profile for the coating to stick to.
  5. Mine is nearly perfect too, just the cholesterol ratio isn't ideal. I'm actually getting my 6 monthly test on Friday, haha we'll see how that goes lol. Might have to fast for 24 hours to cheat a bit
  6. Keeps the golden showers nice and golden I reckon tree fiddy is a fair price I mostly have them to keep the side effects of alcohol drinking at bay, not that I drink heaps these days but it does smash your vitamin levels. Fish oil helps with cholesterol ratio which I need to keep an eye on, glucosamine helps with joints when lifting heavy sh*t and generally getting old, I take a few liver protection things which is needed for drinking, other than that it's just magnesium, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin D for winter, and a multi to make sure it's all there. I eat veges daily but don't eat much fruit. I actually had a couple off weeks of taking vitamins recently and now I take them, I notice a difference in energy levels as well as overall mood. Also being 115kg and not very fat, I probably need more than average person
  7. Eh at least I can justify the price of my golden shower rates
  8. Same, I eat more when I need it and I eat less when I don't. Haha the Nutri-Grain is just one bowl and the coffee is one giant mug with 2 tablespoons of coffee. Vitamins are just a thing I do, can't hurt right?!
  9. Pretty sure eating food is dieting
  10. You'll never know
  11. Rings and bearings arrived today, better pull my finger out and get the pistons ready. It's gonna rain the rest of the week so we'll see how much I can get done.
  12. Yay Tuesday 200G nutrigrain, 4 coffees and a whole bunch of vitamins should get me going today
  13. Haha my man
  14. Shagging, don't forget shagging
  15. Oh yeah, all dem gainzzz
  16. The food, all you gotta do is add broccoli and rice and you're set
  17. And chicken, you can't forget chicken
  18. Eh it has it's perks
  19. Yerp
  20. Happy birthday you old fark I was a year older recently, so farken old 💀
  21. A 460 is overkill, it requires a wiring upgrade and a fuel reg upgrade. Use a 255 and you won't need wiring or reg, pretty much fit and forget and good for up to 350rwkw.
  22. Ok well it wasn't the cam timing that was causing the cutting out issue. Yes there was indicators with the cam timing around the cutting issue and while they may be related, it wasn't the cause. Lol I reckon it might be the battery is farked. I knew it was a bit sh*t but I didn't replace it cos it charged up properly. Anyhow I'll get a new one and we'll see how it gets on.
  23. Ok I dunno why but I decided to fix sh*t once and for all and in the most hectic manner possible. In short I put my Kelford 218-C cams in, I locked them up with my Atomic vernier gears and I dialled the cams in with a couple of solid lifters and a dial gauge. I've spent an hour or so dialling it in and I gotta say it's pretty good. I haven't even got the spool assist on and it doesn't feel slow at all! Lol the car has a hella choppy idle but you get that
  24. Hell yeah nice work man.
  25. No idea. Obviously if you step the exhaust down at any point, that part will be the restriction. For how hard you are pushing your car, you would benefit from going 4 inch the whole way through. It's actually easier than it sounds, as a 4 inch 90 will fit straight through the cradle and give your easy access to either end for fabricating. Yes running a seperate screamer will reduce exhaust load, but having a long ass pipe might introduce wastegate back pressure and in turn mess with boost control. I think it'd still be loud af but I've never tried it
