i just got my engine machined and all balanced, yet to find out how it goes.... my bastard twin took it for a spin the other day, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (with an extra rrrrrrr, i'm really angry) angry cos he got to drive my car before ME, but on the other hand he said it was smooth.
And NO I'm not asking him to rev it past 8k, (if you wanna know you'll have to wait for me to try it out)

Sweet, let me know how it goes and feels. We definately want to get this done since it will be revving alot especially the way i drive, and knowing myself i will end up attending alot of track days. Better safe than sorry i always say.

I'd recommend it, after speaking to a mate he told me that it will rev harder and smoother.
think of the crank shaft being out of balance. just the slight bit of vibration, will cause a bit of damage there. especially when you're reving high.

I spoke to a guy in a Swift GTi race car (runs 10.8 !) (Dave Homer) at the Mt Cotton hillclimb last Sunday who has the latest JDM STI turbo on his 1.3L ! says it is great. obviously a light assembly with 1 or 2 titanium wheels and is twin-scroll which I am yet to read more about.
