    I had some concerns with some sounds I couldn't quite identify so haven't driven much spent an hour or 2 under it today chasing all the exhaust leaks and can now rest a bit easier the leaks were the source of everything I was worried about. It now ticks over like a Swiss watch quiet as anything at 500rpm which is lower than I'd like so I need to do some more IAC adjustments bump that up to about 750rpm and its good for a warrant. Ive started getting turbo stuff ready have ordered some more AN Fittings to redo the turbo feed line with pressure gauge inline so I can pop the bonnet for a sanity check if I want to. Im against sticking gauges in unless I really have too. Bonnet scoop should arrive tomorrow as well so I can get the heat out of engine bay. No pics, its a good thing this time nothing worth recording.

    I dont have bad spending habits i have a mortgage and a son who steals my petrol money. I'd have bought it if remortgaging was easier and I had a shed to put it in.

    Dropped run in oil this morning after a healthy amount of varied driving around and dialing in the IAC using chat GPT (its really fucking good at this!) She's a good un. Oil had some fine glitter in it only 3 small flakes that look like machining particles these obviously hadnt been through oil pump so likely fell out of an oil gallery into sump. Ill keep driving it around for a bit unturbo'd as that will give it a nice easy lead in to life and save dicking around at wof time. Also I dont have a tune i trust with this $$$$ engine. Hopefully boring updates from here out or none maybe for a while...... that would be great!

    Broke out the Autosol today and repolished the things that used to be shiny im going to pull out the intercooler plumbing out give that a buff up while it runs NA for its WOF. Will pull its face off remove the Intercooler and fit an uncut crash bar see what they say. @jakesae101 the Brakes are bloody fantastic! and look nice as after a cleanup. Been doing normal car things today like driving around for no reason taking people for drives and getting groceries its back to being a normal useful car again......... I can't wait to drop the turbo back on though it take it to track and romp on it a bit. Head porting has definitely made it more rev happy it comes alive over 3000rpm and pulls through to 6000rpm happy as. High stall holds to 2500rpm so its going to have no flat spot off line.

    Cheers to be honest I could of got it done quicker if I planned better quite a few parts came from Oz and the US, bottom end is like building a flash concrete mixer fairly simple but cleanliness in a garage where I fab stuff was tricky so much ocd cleanliness had to happen. Ive learned heaps but now Ive got money in this about 3.5k im in no hurry to blow it up so Development will be a lot more planned. I'll be re watching my HPACADAMY videos again.

    Its run in now sounding buttery smooth and quiet not much blowby I've got some synthetic oil to chuck in. Just done several laps around Huntly fairly spirited driving lots of engine braking and revving out to no where near rev limit but up there.

    Found reason for limp mode...... haha its bad but funny and easily fixed. My wiring for the ignition module was melted to the exhaust manifold and 4 wires became 1. Separated them out she's happy again did some spirited driving it think she may be faster than a stock ecotec even with lower compression. No wonder I was getting a check engine light but no DTC there isn't a DTC FOR YOU'RE WIRING IS MELTING DICKHEAD. Now to sort starting it needs some pedal to get going.

    Its got a few ticks but that's probably more to do with 15/40 running in oil also some exhaust leaks because of my hoki doke turbo bypass system making it sound worse than it is. All in all bloody happy!

    Turns out i can build an enggine that runs ok. Few niggling issues, its going in to limp mode but it drives.

    Steps 1 through 200 no photo's, im now dying of dehydration and exhaustion. Wanted this to be a video but just realised I left the starter out to do the flexplate bolts....... then fitted the exhaust and cant get starter in. Time to call it a day it'll run tomorrow.

    The rods aren't side by side there is a small divider and slightly offset too unsure why myself.

    All ready to sling back in would of been done to today......... Muncies Chop shop had to do an exhaust on a ute first. And my ARP flexplate bolts started snapping lucky save one spiral fractured so I was able to just unwind it out we found the torque for those on the internet as they are a general purpose bolt think we over did them last time. 12 bucks from allfast got me some 12.9 cap screws I just red loctited those suckers and swung as hard as I could with an Allen key.

    On the right angle with one eye closed and safety squints it has a big block look to it
