No, it's all copied and pasted, either letters or words. . does not type.

And the name is . not Dot.

Fluffyone, those be 9.5:1 comp pistons, but well spotted that they higher than stock. I'll give those rods a good workout, they are getting one small mod from how they arrived; drilling the oil hole in the big end for oil spray. Stock rod has this hole.

Flywheel cost somewhere between 200-300 uk's pounds.

Turbo? What turbo? who needs one with 9.5:1 comp!!!
Oh wait, I do... That will be revealed when I find a truck with a big enough turbo to steal it from.

Low comp high boost is old school and for dyno queens [smilie=200sx_shit.gif] . High comp, and reasonable boost will be good, coz i'm impatient and don't like to wait years for my vtec to kick in yo.

If you girls are gonna fight in my post it must be done in a pool of used oil and bikinis, and I want the photo's posted.

Enough ctrl+c crtl+v. I'll be back when I have more photo's

Remember a pic is worth 1000 words.

. Dot post here " http://shop.rezlo.com/forums/index.php " very cool forum allot of experts with the cars and timeslips to back them up.

I like the 9.5:1 Idea, Just going to need a good management system to pull it off. Are you going to use a Knock-link or W/M to keep that in check? Are you going local?

I am a big fan on the CA18DET so any good build with correct parts has my vote.

Looks like you got the whole kit from Spool imports , How much did it set you back landed here? Did you also maybe get the stroker crank/?

Aye, it is indeed, well spotted.

And for interests sake, a copy and paste of the costs so far since if you include the cost of the car at R35000 it brings me now to just under R100k.
