I am glad it appears to be on the home straight now anyhow Steve, I do hope the downpipe guy doesn't let you down anymore, maybe there will be a reduced rate for the holdups huh. I am am sure Noble will stick to time scales nicely so you could be sat in it in a weeks time :thumbup1:

Is the engine going to need runnning in or not as the internals are from a used engine? Whats the latest?


My little project - IS200 Turbo - steviewevie - 16-01-2018

The engine won't need running in as such apparently, as only the piston rings and shells are new, the rods and pistons are from an already used engine. So they will put several heat cycles through the engine before it goes on the dyno, but they're happy it will be fine after that.

The car is still supposed to be going into Noble for mapping on Monday morning. Although Charlesworth have decided they're not happy with the turbo flang(e), so are getting a slightly different one made up and are aiming to fit that on Monday before it goes.
