A few components are rolling in the door.
I?ve acquired a set of VET cams for use of the exhaust cam. The low lobes are 11.3mm lift and 244dur with a high lobe spec of 11.15mm lift and 280dur. This should help light and keep the turbo on boil.
The machine shop got back to me about the VCT conversion and they feel confident they can complete this task. I think this is sound too as they use to build Chris Fosbergs VK56 motors for FD(800-1000hp).
I dropped my exhaust manifold off to have thermal couple bungs welded on. I use to have access to a welding machine, I no longer do, otherwise I would?ve completed this myself.
I also ordered components to plumb the wastegate back into the exhaust pipe.
A new .83 TS housing was ordered from AMS with the help of Niko and the team over there. If this housing doesn?t work as I hope and they claim, we?ll be switching to a 1.01. At that point though, I may switch the turbo to a 35R sized turbo if it spools as early as I?m hoping.
I?ll have some photos up soon.
