Strueth, should check the size of them bloody crocs on the riverbank today!
Are you getting just an engine, or a cut? Also, what car are you putting it in - I'm guessing AE92? Naturally, an AE92 front cut would be the easiest way if that's the case, then a lot of it is just a matter of speding time carefully swapping bits over, hopefully not making too many mistakes, and learning a lot in the process. Oh, and feeling great when you turn the key and the bloody thing actually fires up first go! They come with an SC12 blower, which is a 1200cc roots blower. Setup? They have the throttle before the blower, an electric clutch on the blower pulley, and an ABV (air bypass valve) to let air aronud the blower when it's not being used. There is a small intercooler mounted on top of the engine, fed from a bonnet scoop, and then a crap intake manifold. Boost? Different people give different numbers, but if you change the pulley, you can get 12-14psi, depending on your exhaust, whether you've brushed your teeth, how warm the day is, etc.
Crikeys, I'd best head off now - bloody dingo's tryna get stuck into the neighbour's baby again...
