that guy on CR got 172 something with a stock bottom end. i think that was a 10 comp nb2 bottom end though.

Thats American hp though. Seems to be about 30hp higher than aussie ones..

So, yank horses are more powerful than Aussie horses?

Actually less powerful, because they need 30 more of their horses to do the same job as ours....

Exactly - they're obese.

LOL not yet! Taking my time, but also ran out of sleeving for the engine wiring harness. Waiting for RS components to deliver it, hopefully tomorrow.

mrPham, i would think you should make 150hp or pretty close to based on what ive seenhere so far

below is the dyno sheet of my daily nb8a with a set of jenvey itbs, with 11:1 comp, mild cams and other stuff but stock cam wheels, rods, valves/springs and injectors. 132kw converts to 177hp according to google.

Once I get a new tps from haltec, you will get a clip. Unfortunately the tps supplied with my kit I'd dieing a slow death and I've been told not to drive the car or risk the car just stopping with no warning and a tow home.

That was 2 weeks ago, feels like an eternity and It's doing my head in :-( I've heard haltec have low/no stock of the sensor I need too :-(

Quick update!

http://omgpham.com/itb-build-part-15

For the last week I've been slowly working on the engine wiring. My goal wasn't to tuck anything, but more of a general clean up and make it look neat and easy to access.

Wiring was made from scratch, straight to the Megasquirt and power board. I used brand new connectors/terminals and Deutsch plugs whenever I could.

The air filters and hose clamps will be replaced with better parts very soon.

Hey Mark, I'm hoping I'll get it started next week. Only the fuel hoses and vacuum lines to sort out now. Fuel stuff is all planned out but still not sure how to do my vacuum lines. Might just do something rough for now to get the car started and properly sort it out later.
