When I lift my lid, people are impressed..........but if it looked like this................

This is my mates 2.5 Litre engine in the States, it's going in the back of 56 Oval show car. Rated for 350hp American, might be 280hp Australian. His daily driver has a N/A 2.2 twin cam.
Love those carbon fibre cam covers!

Now where did I put my dremel?

regards
Jak

Wow!!! Why would you ever buy a hot vw motor, when for half the price you could have one of these, and only 4 spark plugs!

Do you have a pic of the car as well?

Fatmax.

Certain people need to be realise exactly where they are postioned on the food chain!

after spending way too much time mostly polishing my intake and valve covers only, I can say that guy has way way way too much spare time 🙂

Wonder how the turbo will go with the 2.5's single cam heads and shallower combustion chamber and valve angle ?

Very pretty engine - I thought it was an EJ22 until I reread your post.

You have some interesting friends Jak....

Where would I be able to get an alloy oil filler neck and cap like the one in pics (i think the WRX STI has it stock but not sure). Tried ebay but no luck there.
