Lovely build! Should you wish to shed more pounds I think the only really easy route left is to go for one of the MS 5port alloy heads...8.5Kg saved in the blink of an eye. I also consider the oil cooler to be a personal road / endurance accessory, so these 1.5Kgs do not count! 😎 I am not two sure on the Alloy heads at the min, as I bet they are spot on, on a 1293 fast road/ 120 bhp engine, I think one bad day and it would be adding it the the stack I have here of gifts to the speed gods! As for the cooler, I never always had one but when I started seeing oil temps of 120c I had this one made, it's the smallest I could go and keeps the oil temp down so I would say it's a most have tbh. I would say I have saved all the big kg savings In all the obvious places and in the not so obvious places.

To be honest, you're gonna have to add 50kg to the final figure to account for the balls you have driving this mental thing! Great to see it back together bud Lol 😝 good to see your back in the game buddy!! Come on it's not that bad, you have had a lift in it when it was running as it should, it was not that bad. Maybe a bit different now mind 😂😂 I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Many old school turbo engines successfully run alloy heads on cast iron blocks, ford cossie, lancia integrale. More modern stuff is all alloy.

Btw wise decision on the oil cooler, 120C is less than optimal. What I meant to say is I doubt a sub 15 sec drag run will get your oil temp above 90C without a cooler....that's why the weight doesn't count. |

Isn’t that the water hose that goes from the bottom hose to the expansion tank?
In the 13's at last!.. Just |
