The only pully I could lay my hands on at short notice

The angle grinder really is a boom as there is alot of cutting and shaping involved

That looks good, but really really tight! I should imagine changing the serpentine belt in the future will be deep joy! Good luck with your project.

I was thinking the same thing looking at those pictures... Looks like the project is taking up vitually every spare inch of space...

Looking really good!! Looks like one heck of a job! Can't wait to see more!

Gosh, that's a squeeze. Are you running stock compression and low boost? I note the intercooler/s so am guessing you want to run 7-10 psi? What are the turbo's if you don't mind my asking.

Boosted.

Compression was reduced when I ran the Roe Blower

Joseph Dell in the US just made a little over 1500 RWHP with a similar setup running 25 psi

Turbos ar GT76's. they list e'm at 1000 bhp a piece

Just looking into an uprated Diff right now

And drive shafts!!!

I will see how it all goes really
