yeah should always use jack stands safety has never been my strong point.
Everyone comments on the last bit, the legs on the engine crane just always seam to get in the way. The nite before I took the spare engine off the pallet I could only put one of the legs down so im try to balance off the back. Haha I should of filmed that
Its just that extra piece of mind, I know when I get under any car I will use the following: 2 Car Stands, a pair of Scissor Jacks just behind the car stands (just in case, there is basically no weight resting on them), 2 hydrolic jacks on the suspension components and 1 rim under each edge of the car lol.

Congrates on the build. Looks like a lot of work and passion which is where its at.
Have you sorted the misfire? I found with the coil over plug, you need to bolt the units down as they do jump out when under load. This sorted the misfire issues I was having. Do you have a link for the crank angle sensor?
Hope to see you at the Hopwood 100 in 2013 with your HQ. Its on the Saturday of the Wakefield 300 weekend.

like the innovate mounts, is black the 75a? I have some 85a on there way to me  but yeah wont be street driving, would be interesting to see what the diff is! yeah +1 for bolting the coils down. I have aluminium posts welded onto my cover with a M6 thread, and have M6 studs that i can lock tite in, and then nut on that to hold coil on, that way im undoing steel nut from steel stud, not always in the aluminium. If anyone is interested, to borrow, my welder/machinist made a ring/spacer up on the lathe that sits inside the spark plug boot hole in the gen2 cover (dunno if gen 3 is the same ID) and the coil (1zz) will center in that, so you can mark were you want the post for the coil, saves holding the coil inside the hole all loose Is that the racerx crank kit? I have one, but the sensor is black, just a cherry hall sensor, i have alot of specs of the sensor if your intrested steve?

Not a racerx crank kit. I got it from here http://www.ebay.com.au/it...mp;hash=item2565025210 and the sensor http://www.ebay.com.au/it...mp;hash=item4842c453a2 The misfire was because the ECU could not read the 60-2 wheel. Just had to put a resistor in the ECU and it was fixed. Ive got AEM coils so they cant be bolted down but I dont see that being a issue. I cut up a set of leads to get the dust boots and they fit pretty snug. Yeah the engine mounts are the 75a ones. A suede interior helps a **** load in fixing most rattles so thats why I thought id go them.

Ive been thinking for a while what to do with this I got out the spare engine out today and done a leak down test on it. It seams ok, so I am going to put that in for a while. I only have a std dump pipe and IC to use so unless I come across some after market ones cheep its all I will be using. I do have to buy a few things to get it running, a gearbox and starter motor is all I can think of at the moment but im sure there will be some other stuff as well. What would be the easiest way to clean up the engine. Valve cover, manifold, throttle body have gone like every other imported engine. Looks better in this pic than what it is.

Thats the same size as what I have. There is also the type5 witch from what I can tell the only difference is can only handle 70psi compared to the 150psi that you linked to.
I dont recall there being two the same size when I ordered so I would think I have the 70psi one and the 150psi is just newer

Thanks for the detailed answer!
What you said makes sense. I too would probably get the 70psi one instead of the 150psi one (if I chose those dimensions instead of the smaller one that stuka used).

What happened next?
The new forums' search goes back to Genesis (No, not Phil Collins), wouldn't be surprised to get some really old threads getting revived.
