Talking crank nut

was worried about the crank nut started jamming a pry bar in the flywheel area to try and break the nut tension, didnt trust the teeth so left that and tried the starter method, i connected the battery went to turn the car over and nothing happened no power dont know whay would of thought the starter motor would of turned???? any ideas.

Any ended up bypassing the starter motor directly from the battery instead,
put bar on the nut and and turned car over, only for a second it was enough to realease the nut, worked a treat.

pulley just slid of too. removed bottom cover and cleaned as it was caked with fibres from the 20 year old belt.

just waiting for parts and the head now to start rebuilding.

decat downpipe
and wastegate shimming to do.

i dont know what to expect power wise from this car, when i first got it a few weeks ago the turbo read .6psi had a blown head and blown turbo gasket. so with all this done and the extras, im hoping for a good increase in power what you guys reckon on the bhp ??
