Found this on the US Diamante site - Sweet ride.
Gotta agree with them to move the intercooler tho.

looks nice, intercooler is in a good spot (with modifed bonnet to suit - take note ricers)

Everyone thinks you have to have a frontmount when its probably not needed for the output the guy/gal is wanting.

480hp @ 15psi, seems to be a full rebuild. ****ing awesome clean as looking, makes me want to go tt in the magna. Nah faster cars.

While a front mount may notify people of your fully sick turbo, it's also the most efficient position to distribute the air evenly and effectively cools the air. Sleepers for the win, except the whole 2 tone but i reckon that looks the good too, so do the wheels.

Also why it the hot hot coolant running into the hot side of the intercooler piping, ie just touching??

It looks like the sohc.

I too would be interested in more info. (thread linked to dosn't have much detail other than the power output)

That looks awesome. I really like the two tone paint job. The motor is nice too. lol

that is awesome, also the top mount intercooler would be somewhat more legal than some i'v seen.....not the best for cool air movement, but at least the piping is nice and short.

Is it just me or does it look as though that engine has been moved over to the passenger side a little?

Hard to tell because of the angle and the bits'n'pieces that have been moved over to the passenger side.

Judging by his huge calipers, and rotors, not to mention his paintjob and wheels, AND turbo work...You'd have to say AUD $11,000 or so...surely...

well more than that, making 450hp at the wheels thats a full rebuild. But the guy who did it was a mechanic therefore your figure would've been cost price.
