its a great feeling when its all going right, i was scared to death the first time i started up my first rebuild (a std 1275), good luck with the rest of the build! "Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

lol smooth certainly aint the word for it - found out the reason it wouldnt turn over today - the engine mount bolts fouled the flywheel - so hopefully i can finish the rest of the wiring in for next week and press go without more cockups lol. just be careful with a temp rad to not run it too long mate - air in system and all that.

cheers brocky! yep i'm mulling over the idea of a turbo timer, i had a toyota glanza turbo (same as the starlet) & it was a worthwhile mod on that, should be able to fit one to a mini with a relay i'd have thought, if not i'll defo let it cool slow by keeping it running
