Slight update-
Well engine out
Stripped the heads off the block and found out their fecked (was going to use the heads) seems like when it blew, shrapnel got in to heads and slightly damaged them
So now, plan is to get some avcs heads and go that route instead now, I'm going to collect some v7 jdm avcs tonight or tomorrow as the alternative choice .
Will update as and when

I also was aiming to keep my downpipe as I was led to belive it was 3" but that was wrong too
Tapered down to 2.5 or 2" by the looks of it, I have a 3" milltek back box to go on, so was going to get a 3" center pipe made to fit, but then had to source a proper 3" to 3" downpipe.
So I found this H&S near new condition

Obviously the costs have spiralled as usual, but it's for the better and I want to do it right first time.
Had to get a few sensors etc and a few bits n bobs for block, new rocker caskets as changed heads,
Also for safety and flow got a new 11mm oil pump with valve mod to stop it from sticking which is usual cause on bearing failure
Wideband loom from Tim at jti (what a pleasant guy to deal with) and also avcs loom on way, newage crank trigger G11 on way, loads of bits n bobs needed at last minute lol and there's me thinking I bought everything prior.

Well update is long overdue, sorry but it's been slightly delayed, but now back on with.
Tim is slowly assembling the block together along with some carefull cleaning taking place, decoked the crowns as they were pretty dirty (thanks Tim )
Pics below show RCM 11mm modified oil pump which cost me half an arm , new oil modene again cost other side of my arm and water pump all plumbed in for now.
Will show more as it progresses but the start has begun.
Properly cleaned water pipe bung
Just look how clean them crown are
Also these beauty's arrived today #beatrush
Thanks

Well had a bit of time to pop over to tims yesterday and fitted new water pipes to turbo, fitted a few sensors etc to block and put inlet on ready now for billet rails to run parallel.
I've gone for the RAWerehouse rails as they have good reviews for a fraction of price compared to others.
Also got some bride rails for my coberau seats as modding stock rails makes seats sit too high apparently so decided to buy proper rails instead.
I also decided to get a 6 speed dccd box too, I've sourced a widetrack blob box but can't collect for a couple of weeks yet due to seller can't get to it.
It's had a rebuild with Carbon syncros.
