That would be right! I'd be happy to take them off your hands for some liquid currency? :beer: :wink:

I could use them for the next instalment of "making up for talent with horsepower".

Pretty sure I gave what was left over to Zoom Zoom and Gslender. I'm sure beer works with them as well :mrgreen:

Borg Warner 6258 (if its a 6758 Ill be damned he has more balls than most, its the turbo to go for IMO)

Manifold is done. I apologise in advance for posting such explicit material:

The holes for the EGT bungs were done on a milling machine so they are all evenly spaced and perfectly flat! :)

Who do you guys recommend for high temp coatings in or around Brisbane?

Thanks Ice88, I'll check them out.

I have a few side projects going on, first of all I am trying some LS3 coils. The factory ignition wiring is a bit on the light side so I'm hoping to minimise voltage drop due to inrush current by using some beefy caps:

The second project I have been working on is an Adaptronic hardware datalogger. This runs on AVR (Arduino) using a fairly common shield, plus an RS232 line driver board:

I have a fully working prototype, let me know if you have an Adaptronic and are keen to test it!

Cheers
