Well that one blew up at Field Motorsport when they were live mapping it! (they built it). They used a brand new Focus block - that blew a 1" crack in cylinder bore wall on number 1. Upon inspection there was a casting defect in the water jacket - so it was either new block (again) or fit liners - i chose to fit the liners and never have to worry about it again.

So its all built up with a new inlet (i think me and Gus are having the same inlets) and Nikasil liners. It has Focus WRC rods and Pistons in it.

But I have got Christians old tubular manifold, Tial gate and T3/60-1 (.70 cold side - .48 Hot side, 360 blades and a Stage 3 shaft) to go on during the winter time when its garaged.

I was told it should be on the Dyno today ... but I don't believe things until I see them.

In its original form i was told by fields that it would be well over 300bhp - but now i can run some serious boost anything is possible.

Happy times!
