Back @ home & loving it. Got a much deserved wash after it sitting around for a few months.

With its best friend Tommi:

Thanks Racesolutions in Penrith for the long nights:

At the AllAboutStance meet:

It's running well @ the moment. There's usually a paranoid period after a rebuild, so I'm slowly starting to regain my confidence in it again. Completed the first 500km of the run in, so another 500 to go before I do the oil change & give it a new powertune to compensate for the lower comp/increased displacement. Have a busy work schedule these days (including a few trips abroad), so will likely get around to that around May.

For those of you who don't know 3SGTE's, somewhere around the 500hp+ mark they have a tendancy to crack blocks between Cylinder 2 & 3 due to the water gallery's design (or over-boring in some cases). The 5S-FE block (yes, from Camry's, Celicas etc) is actually of a stronger cast, with more meat & thickness around the water pump area too. Most of the high-hp 3SGTE's around the world actually use 5S blocks & they've been proven to hold up (no reports of any cracking) @ 1000hp. Sleeving the 3SGTE block is also an option, but given mine failed & the lack of proven aftermarket sleeves for the 3S, I pretty much gave up on the 3S block.

That's all for now, wish me luck that it holds up.
