Cheers mate All credit has to go to @350Butcherto this point🙌

Engines back at the car 🎉 Dressed up and ready to go back in at the next opportunity

In a bid to tidy up the engine bay on the new build I thought I'd powered coat the pipework to match the stillen manifold

My head gasket let go at 14.5 psi but the internals looked perfect when we pulled it apart

I had a new impeller fitted and used vortech themselves in the states I took the opportunity to upgrade to the si impeller over the sci which netted a few more psi I definitely wouldn't trust anyone other than vortech to do the job and I don't think they will sell you parts This being said I did come across a UK guy the other day thats rebuilding a load of chargers and seems to do things correctly so might be worth a chat with him regarding the aftermarket impellers you talk of https://www.facebook.com/UKSuperchargerRepairs Good luck

Engine will be done end of march hopefully in and running end of April Just fitting it in around all of life's commitments 🙄

Cheers Dave sure is the best man for the job The civic is one hell of a car in almost every way ....a proper b road muncher. but I can't wait to drive my z again 😁

Long overdue update on this. life well and truly got in the way this year and I ended up buying a stop gap love or hate the looks what a car it is to drive and dose all the family duties realy well so think it might stick around for a while.
