Ehh that's not too bad. Pair that with the $1200~ ish turbos, $400 for the S60R manifold... geez it'll be forever before I have the $$ to do this ;)

yeah, its all im gonna get accomplished for a while, im broke right now, so 16t goes back on. FMIC is def a plan though i have no idea when i will get it done. That along with r-mani, GT something and a ton of other goodies i have laying around should make for a pretty stout powerband.

damn man, stuff looks nice. glad it finally came in

yeah me to, should be up and running in a couple weeks, then i gotta put around a thousand on it before it hits the track ;)

Amazing man, Good luck!

Quick question on the tranny M56HK

I have never seen a K at the end whats the differance between a normal m56h and the k?

Im assuming its because i have the dualmass flywheel combo? Honestly i have no idea man, my S70 is a 1998 1/2

good question, anyone got a link to R-sport Intl ? They US based ? no lead from China needed !

They are based out of portland i think, should be www.r-sportinternational.com It took 3+ months for me to get my stuff, idk if wiseco has made them yet even now. He said he had a set of OS1s in stock so i went with them even though my initial order was for standard bore.

I have still yet to receive the stock bore pistons you ordered. Endyn's contact there left....and left everything in shambles...so who know when I will get the rest of everything. Glad I have 10 sets of 1st oversize in stock.....but still. Sorry man it took so long. Let me know how it goes.

Will do man, thanks for keeping me updated and with good service given the situation.

And update, block went into the machine shop last tuesday, hopefully its out soon. Main bearings and crankshaft looked just absolutely beautiful when we pulled them out, but i may go for a 850r clutch, as mine is showing the wear it should for having 175k+ on it. O yeah, and prob a single mass swap as well.

Flywheel came in from erie as well, looks to be right this time, planning on the singlemass swap to mate up my new r-clutch...i got a flex plate for an auto the first time from them :lol:

Had to plug and tap a couple of the oil lines on the 16t im using, its off of a S60, just had to pop one of the plugs on the other side and run a tap through it.

Also did a lil painting, sortof going for the R look, though its a bit lighter. Its darker in person, plus its got a matte finish that i think looks really nice.

All you have to do is ask me or any OH Mod to open it. I brought the old thread back, unlocked it, and merged with the new thread you just made.

Why are you using a 16T? Going to an 18T/19T later?

Im strapped for cash right now as it is, but yeah, im taking in turbo options. Nothing crazy, but im open to anything. Actually thinking the forged internals are a lil beefy for a 19, will probly go with a GT something, but idk yet.

How did you get the plug out? I had the same issue with my 16T on the olive and I got creative with the oil and water lines.;)

Gary

drilled a hole in it, threaded a screw in there and pryed it out. Took a couple trys to get it right, but it worked.

Assembly in progress... ;)

EDIT: Got the crank lubed up and in and got it on the engine stand, Got pistons 1 and 2 in and called it a night, more updates to come tomorrow night after work. Going smoothly so far, hope to have most of the engine assembled by the time i go back to school sunday.
