update - motor is in. Pan is leaking 
truck wont start . At least I have good oil pressure now. 45psi while cranking read from the hpop reservoir. Cant build more than 250psi icp tho. I have swapped in my old ipr with no change. Disconnected icp, no change. Now I have put my old hpop in. Just waiting for my brand new batteries to charge. For the luv of pete, give us a break.

well it has been established before but I will repeat it for those who missed it. IM A IDIOT. Apparently the EBVP and IPR have the same plug. And guess what I had plugged into the IPR. Thats right, the EBPV plug. So its up and running. Will spend the next day putting the front end back on, but suffice to say I can feel the beginning of a perma grin

Congrats Brian. It is hard to be 100% perfect when you're putting in the hours getting everything right. The good thing is that you were able to track the fault down and fix it which really proves you AREN'T an idiot, you just felt like one for a short perid

Well its been a hectic week. I have got into it every night after work and its now 8.30pm Sat. Pulled the engine and fixed the oil pan. Fired up pretty much straight away. Sound real sweeeeet and no leaks. Got a video on da phone just gota work out how to put it on the pwuta.
happy with those numbers at idle. Will put the front end on 2morrow and take her for a spin.

Fantastic Brian, Great effort. In the vid, add a bit of a commentary on how it feels compared to previously.
I'm definitely interested in one of those 6 pos tuners. I find with the Superchips on top setting, the throttle is just too touchy around town. I would love to just dial it down into a cruise mode.
Clamp those IC boots up and see what boost figures you can pull!

Just did 70 km trip. Its starts pretty much first crank now. Didnt do one of the intercooler clamps up tight enough and of course it blew off. Need to get some miles on it before I bump up the tuner. Must say first impressions of Matts toons are very favorable. Im only in "economy" but it has great throttle response and you can tell it wants to go. The only gripe and this could be that I need to get use to it, is first gear is holding a little to long. Although a lot of engine failures are low in the rev range when you are loading up the rods, he maybe letting the engine rev a little higher before it goes into second.

With the gearbox, will that be a tune thing or valve body? I've never driven anything like yours but they defiantly pull better when they go up a gear with the tc locked up.
Just a couple drive bys and a in cab video, if you can do it? Thanks mate I love reading about your stuff.
