Tried to put the engine together however I found that the extra dowels do not line up properly. Could have been machined incorrectly so back to the mechanic to get it corrected.

Engine has been assembled. Installed the SOHN kit, pulled out HKS piggyback and ready to get the car back on the road.
I have also used a dremel to clean up the casting marks and made it slightly larger for better flow.
Just waiting for a shipment from RX8 performance to arrive before I put everything together.

Car started up instantly as soon as i turned the ignition. However, had to abort as oil was pouring out of the AN lines as it needed tightening. Will have another go tomorrow after filling the oil again.

Done over 1000km on the engine. I will service the car tomorrow.
I am having difficulty in revving past 8000rpm. I suspect exhaust restriction from collapsed resonators or exhaust.
I have also purchased a low mileage series 2 fuel tank and will do the swap soon. Also looking to get aftermarket ignition coils and relocated to the chassis rail.
Once these upgrades have been installed then the supercharger will be installed and tuned.

In the process of switching to series 2 fuel pump and also ordered LS coils and it will be relocated to the chassis rail.
I am also finding that my vacuum at idle changes each time i drive. Some times it is at -10 and some times it is at -5 and sometimes at almost zero.
I have checked the vacuum lines for leaks and also sprayed maf cleaner around the injectors to detect vacuum leaks.
The strange this is the variable nature of the vacuum
Any clues on whats wrong or is it normal.
Most people do not have vacuum gauges on a stock car so its not monitored.

My kit has be modified to fix the following issues:
new bypass
machined block off for original bypass
machined channels for better flow for oil around bearings
larger gauge oil return line
Machined for more bolts to prevent leaks
The changes have been documented on the forum before.

I had the vacuum lines to the VDI and SSV connected wrongly and it was causing loss of power at high rpm.
Now its running perfectly. Also switched to series 2 pump which involved some modifications for a full swap.
