Hey people, here's a video of my new engine and new twice pices exhaust.

I had just finished my final valve adjustments, but I had not yet sync'd the carbs.

Sounds good anyway though =P

I hadnt rebuilt the front carb or sync'd them when i took that vid. I just finished everything day before yesterday though. The front carb is a little worn out, so it doesnt seem to want to close all the way, but I managed to sync them up pretty well despite that.

Because of the front carb being a little worn, it seems to want to idle at closer to 1k than the 700 rpm mark I had it set at.

I will hopefully be taking it to the dyno on the 29th, and will have a video from that too =P

currently, stock SU's I have another set of SU's I'm slowly working on making a little more than stock, and theres a set of dual webers that may be coming my way.

This is just a temp engine untill I grab a decent L28ET

It sounds really good. You've got them tuned quite well.

Be sure to take video of that. Nice work on your s30 though.
