I love this thread. serious amounts of work going into it. But i'm just wondering, when the Turbo and NOS has been completed, Will you be fitting a SuperCharger im saving the super charger for the next project lol, spent most of the afternoon working out were the air filters going and its going here just waiting for some hoses from egay also made a mount for the turbo, i think i will put a flexi joint in the exhaust, as there will be some movement even though everything is going to be solid mounted and the frame horns locked down dont want to end up with a cracked exhaust or the turbo coming loose thanks for looking cheers andy

Strip the heads off the engine and work out how to lower the compression ratio from 9.5:1 to 8.5:1 thanks for looking andy

hi right engine is out taken the heads of and checked the deck hieght piston dia is 94mm stroke is 84mm deck is zero heads are 66cc so i work that out as 9.8:1 as i want around 8:1 to 8.5:1 if i fit a 1.5mm shim i will get 8.6:1 if i fit a 2.25mm shim i will get 8.14:1 if i fit 1.5mm shim and a 1.5mm copper gasket i get 8:1 so think thats it i loose i bit of static compression but i can wind the boooooooooooooooooosttttttttttttt up to cover that thanks andy
