Very very old thread, but finally made a restart on this project.

Have some room in workshop now the Vento has moved on.

Mates helped me remove the engine/box so we can make a start on strengthening engine.

Pull sump and have installed ARP Rods bolts, next stop is head gasket space to lower CR and install ARP Head bolts...

Rob entering a corner that quickly became a hard 90

Rob calmly saying ?oh damn that was a bit quick?

Yeah, front end is heavy with the old 12v donk in there.  Front shocks were rooted as well, found that out later!

Head gasket spacer and ARP head studs done.

Went to reassemble turbo, exhaust manifold, etc but exhaust manifold had a bit of rust forming internally.  Decided to get it procoated but they had run out of the "super duper" black stuff and it took several weeks for it to land from the US.

External wastegate wasn't sealing properly so spent some time getting that sorted, reassembled it all on the bench.

Test fitted to engine, but not happy with the way compressor housing clears engine, so going to have a bit of a fiddle to try and work out best way to create a bit more clearance.
