Default Waiting for Mr. Turbo
The block, head, and crankshaft are back from Mike Stimson at Pacific Performance, very nicely machined I might add. Crank was lightened and knife edged. The entire drivetrain up to the pressure plate was Hines balanced. Block was honed and deck lightly refaced. Head has LR springs. Head and block O-ringed. Block/head painted with Eastwood ceramic 2-part polyurethane, which is pretty good stuff: http://www.eastwood.com/ew-ceramic-e...-aluminum.html

I went a little wild with a Horror Freight powder coating gun. Powders from http://www.propowdersupply.com/ (Super durable red and Mirror Yellow)

Now I'm mulling my options for an upgraded turbo and engine management.

...I'm leaning towards the Vitesse stage 3 kit with Vflex.

You’re missing some important bolts on the balance shaft housing…!

And suddenly I have a hankering for some French fries….

Ah! No wonder I had four bolts extra!

You're right about the color, but hey, maybe the Golden Arches will sponsor me now!

We went a little crazy with the powdercoating too when we did our rebuild. Except we went with matte black *everything* instead...
