I took the flywheel off and got it balanced, a 1.5hr drive away...anyway the guy doing it was quite concerned how light the other flywheel was. With just the pressure plate on it weighs half of what the old stock one does without the PP (about 8.2kg and the other 16.5 IIRC). The stock one was quite off balance and so the balancing guy thought there wouldn't be enough weight in the new FW to counter the out of balance crank if you get what I mean.
But anyway he welded a steel chunk onto the PP and said try it carefully...
The other thing was that I've abandoned the HE200 in favour of a HX30.
I was worried that the low end oomph could bend the rods (with a superpump it'd be easily done vs stock fueling) and the turbine choking at high rpm would lead to high EGP and EGT etc also, potentially frying pistons. I could've gone to a HE221 but the HX30 was not only cheaper but the wastegate actuator goes off a bracket on the turbine housing. All I have to do is get a T3 flanged plate made up to offset the compressor housing enough to clear the #1 cyl inlet runner...
I've fitted the manifolds onto the engine, exhaust has the pyrometer probe and EGP fitting in it. Dodgily soldered on a 3/4" fitting to the sump that I hope won't start leaking...
Fitted my superpump from barrote onto the engine the other day.

Engine doesn't want to throw itself apart flywheel balance wise so gonna swap her in.

Ok, time for an update.
