it lives,anyone get burnt to death?what sorta power you looking at?is that turbo the one comes of certain model of s15?

No burns to report, there was one oil leak from the bottom oil cooler hose, few extra nips up tight and she stopped leaking.
There are a few little coolant leaks which need to be sorted. My engine builder marky came over to see it, I started it up and he straight away started playing with the throttle, in a matter of seconds he had found the 5500 limiter that was on the razorback, my idea of running in an engine and his are 2 different things but he knows his shit so no probs I suppose ha ha.

Also, it's crazy loud! I did one lap of my street and had people coming outside to see what the noise was.
And yep it's a t28rs and if I end up with enough power to do qr turn 2 in 4th I'll be happy.

Spent literally half a day and 4 bottles of fluid yesterday with a mate bleeding my brakes. By about 4 we felt defeated and stupid, no matter what we did the pedal felt like shit and the rears kept spitting out frothy fluid. Then I noticed bubbles popping up in the cup when braking, consulted the automotive bible (google) and found that bubbles in the master cylinder reservoir was bad.

so I loosened the nuts and wriggled the MC off the booster a little bit and fluid came streaming out. So the MC which I paid $100 at a brake place to be resealed/overhauled was leaking into the booster. Which may also explain why the car has been revving weird (like a vacuum leak).

Anyway all I know is its ment to be getting tuned this week, I have less than 2 weeks before matsuri and I'm pissed off, the whole car will be going to the brake place today and Ill be telling them to fix it. Muppet's.

I found a 2nd hand brake booster and MC (dudes at the brake place arnt being to helpfull), put those in. The car has also had a bad hunt at idle. At first it was average cold and really bad warm. Then we found 3 vacuum leaks, fixed those and it was perfect cold and still bad warm, we were stumped. This arvo I tried upping the idle fuel setting and that sorted it so I took it for a spin around the inusdtrial area.
First time driving on boost, felt like it was just starting to get going when I found the 4g limiter (good reminder that the motor is brand new). Also my hybrid boost controller seems to tick constantly when limiting boost, is that normal?

As of this arvo
