Got the engine out of the car today and took of the manifold, the apex is still left in the rotor, looks like it got stuck in the rotor, its not broken, but is sitting below the surface of the rotor.

The exhaust sleeves on rotor 2 and 3 are scrap, probably been vibrating and broke beacause of the heat, and beacause of this, the turbo needs an overhaul aswell.

But housing, rotor and sidehousing looks good.. gonna take the engine appart tomorrow so will se how it looks then, and what that has happen to the apex.

Just glad that the engine it self is still usable.

The wide body, not the one you split to pieces.

Took the engine appart yesterday.
Everything looks good inside. Just a apex that got stuck due to carbon.
So when the new engine is finished built it will go to the dyno.

Engine will be dyno'd at 20-25 psi maximum, the hp output is not very important as long as I'm around 400rwhp. Whats more intresting is low rpm torque and good driveability on the motor.

So time will show how it will work, goona loose some high rpm hp beacause the small size turbo, but around 7k is enough rev.

The reason that nothing has happened on my car lately is beacause I have been working on a cf dash for FD.
A friend of me asked if i could make a cf dash for him, and the result are starting to get closer now.. The dash it self starts to look ok, just the instrument pod, and the center console left now.

A picture of how the dash looks like at the moment, this is how it looked when i took it out of the mold.
