I would love to forge the engine now in its current state, but i just can't afford it at this moment in time
its not really a massive issue anyway, I have a spare d8a engine thats already been rebuilt about 2k miles ago so might build up that bottom end with forged rods ready to go on after fcs. I get a fairly big payrise at the end of next month so that ties up quite nicely with my plans to forge it, the headbolts i have were from a group buy a while back, came off ash23 car, same group buy that I believe Ruan's studs came from.
i already have all the numbers off the turbo and know exactly what it is
Jamie, turbos love coffee and rides in the car!
