That's not a ecotec block, its a L67 block! (it has 4 bolt mains)
Not that it matters anyway you replaced the rods, crank and pistons!

Oh my god!! Does that mean the ecotec in my Vx is also an L67 ???? !!! oh wait, no... Thats coz ALL ecotec/L67 blocks were four bolt...
Do some reading and you will learn there actually isnt much difference between an L67 vs L36 structurally, so techinally an L36 is just as strong as an L67 just has higher compression.
Dont worry about the noobs matt. Cant wait to see it boosted!!

Please take your hero Skills somewhere else - lets not start on the noobish acts I've seen in some of your threads.
Anywho, is there any awesome skid videos of this thing yet?

I hope my internals are now stronger! Haha. Thanks guys, very very soon I've got cash now, and I've got all I need, all I have to do now is move the alternator, and extend my coil pack loom and move the abs unit and off I go! (hopefully)

Haha! Good things take time my friend!!
The reason why I chose a twin setup is because you are starting to see more and more boosted ecotecs around, most with cheap kits or single turbos On a stock motor... I want to be different and stand out for what I'm doing, and what better way then to put 2 Garret's on a stroked motor and make it look pretty. If you notice most people who do a twin setup use the manifolds that make the turbos on the right side of the bay, I didn't want that because it's the same as the rest hence why I'm taking my time and making them symmetrical on either side...
