Hi all,

 

I wanted to make a build thread so here goes....

 

I have had this ute since February 2011, bought it second hand with 21,000kms on it and drove it as a standard ute for a while.

 

I did a few small things to it, put some springs in it and changed the intake, nothing major at all.

 

Then decided at some point that it wasn't enough, so added a few bolt on goodies...

 

This consisted of;

  • GTX35 with external gate
  • ID725 injectors
  • PW Surge Tank with 044
  • PW Stage 2 IC
  • NPC Heavy Duty Clutch
  • Atomic Valve Springs

 

This was good enough to make 507kW at the wheels, and run an 11.75 @ 119mph with a 1.62 60ft.

I should have probably been pretty happy with that in a fairly middle modified manual ute...

 

But then for some reason, on the 18th October 2012, I decided to pull the engine out to make some more power. 

 

...

 

So four long years later and the engine is complete and in the car, the car is yet to be tuned but the aim will be somewhere between 850-900hp (630-670kW)

 

The list of modifications has grown, my bank account has shrunk but I am sure it will all be worth it when I get to drive it.

Mint! 

 

Whens the tune? We want results :D

 

It will go on the rollers this coming Wednesday/Thursday and then I need to give it a bit of a run in before we give it a final tune.

I can't compute ID725's and 119mph and equal 507rwkw, maybe 407..?

 

Or maybe I don't know sh*t, always possible. Any case, love ya work.

501rwkw @16psi today

I will put a few kilometers on the engine and then back for a massage and some more boost.

Have a few little things to iron out with the exhaust location and an issue with a very long brake pedal but I'll get that sorted.

Very happy with the progress so far
