just another little update.....
Finished off my gauge holders a few days back, its a bit different but i do like it! at the moment its displaying boost and oil pressure

the backlight is red so that looks pretty smart too!
Don't know about the colour yet.....im going to see what its like in the car when its back together properly!
Looks pretty cool in my opinion though

What do you guys recon?
All the hard work was done mostly by RTSprint and Wilko, i just finished it and took the glory

i believe it's when the innards of the head are smoothed/opened out etc to improve gas flow

Yer believe its much the same as ported and polished head but not sure whats the difference between a ported head and a gas flowed head is

i think air is pumped round the head and measured to see what it rates at - think this is the 'gas flowing bit'

Seems like a great project although it seems your going round the houses a little for the wiring lol.

lol tell me about it! complete nightmare! by trade im an electrician so you expect better! however...being a sparky...i know the trouble with messing around with lots of cables and cutting into them etc...one dry solder could mess up the whole project....so i thought seen as both cars were stripped out anyway...just to swap the entire loom....its a proven workin loom in my old 400....still a pain in the a55 tho!! ha ha!!
I'll be contacting you guys soon for tubular s14 manifolds by the way

well today MORE parts were purchased and my bank account emptied further! Doh!

I've got the gas flowed head, SPAX RSX coilovers on order, and sunday i pick up a Garrett GT3071R Turbo charger, hell yeah

After speaking to a few guys on Rovertech....their cars with similar specs have easily pulled between 360 and 440 bhp!!

Never going to need that much power EVER and it'll be ridiculous to drive...but hey....

We shall see......
