Was on the old engine. was a long drawn out process of getting things to run right and finishing everything and money so never got any decent figures out of it.
The old engine was standard internals etc and a T28 turbo.
This time it is t3/t4 hybrid, Double Valve Springs, Enlarged valves, 3 inch inlet, Xe inlet cam, Steel Rods, Forged pistons arp bolts etc so it is ready for big power.
Have a niggly feeling the old E48 management was always playying up somehow. Will soon see when I have finished plumbing in the new ecu etc and get it run in and on the rollers.
Keep an eye on in the next 3 weeks as I will put up updates as Im just finishing everything now.

Not keen on the wheels, Astra VXR rims look superb on these.
Even the GSI wheels would look really cool on it. Not a fan of the tinted lights either, but each to their own

Points taken Love the VXR Rims too but they are just not great for track work. I do alot of track time and the 19''s just dont cut it. They are also about as durable as a chocolate tea pot. They just split and crack especially with hard coilovers.

Thats very cool, but there appears to be a mummy where your manifold should be  
+1 on the snowflakes.
