Yes mate all equal now and with the external wastegate set up we should see more power and steady boost!

Re: M4D RST - Engine Build!
Received a text from Jim@JKM tonight and the external wastegate is all fabricated now!
Will be having a closer look tomorrow when I head down there. Then its time for me to remove the engine and empty the bay ready for some other mods to be carried out.


Shall update more over the weekend.
Bloody Marvelous job though on the wastegate... VERY happy!!!

Re: M4D RST - Engine Build! Update 27thNovemeber
UPDATE
Well today I went to JKM to have a look closely at the wastegate set up and im very very impresssed. With all this fabricatednow the mock engine was able to be removed. So I spent the afternoon tinkering.




After 10 mins the front end was off.

Then within half hour we had one naked trolley engine bay

All moving along nicely now, this weeks task is front brake brackets and plumb in the new brake pedal box.

Beautiful. I also chose the Titan Dry Sump when I had the ST170 motor, it is much better quality than the Pace version IMO.
