That may be actually occurring with the old motor / bits.

Eek.... I did not realize the engine builder was on vacation again. I have been texting him since the last update for any addt'l pics and then called him today since the texts went unanswered.
Now I feel bad I interrupted him (albeit unknowingly on my part). That said, he was gracious enough to reach out to his partner (who's still at the shop diligently working in the builder's absence) & I was sent the following updated images just a little bit ago.
Enjoy. As I thanked the builder for providing these, I in the same step w/o skipping a beat, told him that it's almost a shame to assemble and install this as all of the efforts undertaken thus far, will not be readily seen.
He's excited though, as am I, at the prospects of what this beast of a build is anticipated to produce.
Happy motoring everyone. Hope everyone's safe, virus free, and managing all of life's ups and downs successfully and in stride.
More info forthcoming. As always, stay tuned.....

What is SHOForum.com policy on ***********? Pretty sure this is close to over the line.
In all seriousness you are one of a few that made me confident with this platform. Keep kicking ass and I look forward to the end result.

Just gorgeous! Thanks, I needed that.
One day, The Xplorer Sport will have a foundation for major boost.

Apologies for muddying up your thread on this one @bpd1151 , just wanted to give a small update. Well, finally got in touch with Uwe (was not easy) on that "secret project", not looking like it's going to work, but he did suggest an alternate path to achieve the desired effect we were contemplating...so...back to the drawing board...

Set backs will inevitably occur as you know, when pioneering/blazing trails.
I'm confident the two of you will arrive at something incredibly stellar!
Patience my friend.

Well now. It's been a long minute since I've updated all here.
But I was graciously "allowed" to stop by the engine builder's facility today.
Prior to stopping by, I was asked to bring the following over to the shop:
GH upgraded TC
Reactor Products 1 off custom flywheel
The XDI HPFP60
Which, I must say, that request alone was exciting in and of itself. Why?
Well **** on me, that's forward progress lady's and gentlemen.
That said, I also was told that a yet to be disclosed product had arrived recently as well. These are new to the market (like new being within the last 8mo.'s or so).
No ******* specs or details (purposely done so).....however, the pics speak for themselves as far as the observable differences! Ha!
I'm *ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT* these will facilitate me recapturing *BOTH* the speed, and the power records that I previously held for many years.
No dyno queen here biotches. This shit's for real, and it's gonna happen. Rest assured on that.
That said, onto the updated pics for all of you ****** to ogle at.....
muahahahaha
Engine pics 1st. Then a side by side comparo of the ATP turbo's, next to the new "big boy" turbos from GARRETT. As well as a couple of up close and personal pics of the new "big boy" turbos as well.
All the naysayers out there can suck it.

It will be interesting to see the bolt up and massaging for fitment. I've wondered when someone would be willing to fund this evolution.
Wow that’s sick!
Those heads ceramic coated...and you went with white?
Cuz...you like to see when dirt appears?
Also...those Garrett are real turbos. Will this tranny hold it? Or have you got, like, 7 hard launches before the gear teeth snap?
