It's evolved quite a bit, if all goes according to plan it will most probably run for the first time next month. I have added loads of photos on facebook, add me. Louis Cloete.

So basically we changed from the original 72 body shell to a cleaner 69 shell during the build. The entire shell was paint stripped to bare metal and then primed.
The engine has been re worked with new Wiseco 4.060" pistons and a new engine casing to accommodate the Porsche cooling. We also opted for thicker barrels, The twin turbo setup was removed and was changed for a single Garrett GT3582R.
The intake system was reworked and individual throttle bodies installed.

Looking nice those Deutz cylinders.
What boost pressure do you plan to use?

Yes they are Deutz thick wall cylinders with 4,060" bore (103mm). Static compression is at 12:1 and the wastegate spring is 7psi (0.5bar)
