Progress, yes.

I would rather hear, "Full 2.0L engine with stroker kit crated up and being shipped to England today!"

I should have some photo's later this week. The guys have been hard at work updating and improving the fit and finish of the kit. They are making fixtures to produce the brackets and getting all the last little things taken care of before Jan pop's the cork on the kit.

They moved the water pump a couple inch's for more clearance. They re-designed the whole intake pipe and added vacuum bungs into it. The TB is in a new location and no longer is there a BP valve (DT BV for sale soon). 440cc injectors are in. They took the new intercooler and re-designed it with better end tanks and a better location. It now sites directly centered in the scoop. They did a great job fitting it. It mounts solid and will never leak. I was really surprised at how much space there was under the intercooler for the air to get out. The distance from the Rotrex's exit to the intercooler inlet end tank is a single 2" silicon 90. The exit from the end-tank to the intake manifold is about a 1/2". All the water lines have been modeled now so the production version will be molded.

Even if they finish this week you guys are keeping Jan so busy traveling that it won't be until next week before we can camp on the dyno and dial the new setup in. Thanks allot guys !

Nice!!

So from a standard MCS the upgrade path should be:
1) Rotrex SC kit
2) Jesus head
Or the other way around?

I'll just say that Jan's a tuning wizard. Lot's of big a$$ grins to go around. I think one of the guys slept with his dyno sheet he was so happy.
