325GRANT

just gasket i think... i will be getting a copper one made when i have the $$$ also want to use head studs. im not going to bother fixing this engine even if i fix the head gasket it will still just be a turbo charged smokey old motor so im getting onto my other motor a little sooner then i thought. new shopping list .... copper head gasket head studs external wastegate valve guides and 3 angle grind rings maybe skim my pistons dont know yet, have to do a bit of research and find out if im better to "decompress" using bigger head gasket or skim the pistons. i have to drive it down from paraparaumu tomorrow then it will be parked up for a while. i have to admit im tempted to pump my boost up and take a quick vid .... dunno yet. because of the head gasket its pushing water into the exhaust and causing a ton of "steam" to blow out the back so it looks like ass.

we have spent the last 4 hours tuning the link and found i have a faulty boost gauge, when we thought we were over boosting and hitting 17lbs it was more like 23 - 24lbs so no surprise we have blown my head gasket to bits. (but sh*t it went fast) so it looks like its off the road again already... heres a few photos, they were taken at night so they dont look too good and ignore the crappy looking heat shield needed to protect some wiring at the last minute.

dont know when the next drags are, but ill be there your welcome to any loom i have left.

i just realised i have no photos! ill take some tomorrow. fired up first time, thanks to andrew and his link tune file. pretty much butchered the loom, do you need one?

just finished the exhaust and went for a quick blast in the 325. i have to say it goes pretty good. at the moment its running about 10lbs boost but is only safe upto about 8lbs, after that strange things start to happen! hopefully after a bit of dyno time we can get it safe up to 12 - 14lbs, but for now a light foot and 8lbs will have to do. anyway if any of you wellington guys want to go for a bit of a cruze this weekend give me a yell.

theres a guy on trade me selling euro plates (with your number) for $100. i dont know if they are the "euro" style euro plate or the nz style euro plate. whatever you do dont get them through Personalised Plates nz. the way they do it is to sell you your number plate as a personalised plate but put it on a euro style plate so it costs you $450 ....oh and hoist up your sails .... couldnt help it

never done one but im sure it wouldnt be too hard. where do you live? more then likely there is someone that lives near you that would help.

so if andrews using gus to undo his control arm ... does that make gus a "tool"

is it a 320 or 325 box?

im keen on the side skirts if you will sell the seperately

whats going on with the tape all over the overflow?

is it a heated O2 sensor or not? i have a single wire "unheated" one if you want it.
