kevmk2 Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Posted March 16, 2007 No way mate Ive got to run it in and have it mapped first. When ive got it in the engine bay i then have to buy more goodridge hose fittings and hose,mod my intercooler pipe to clear the air filer hose. Its gonna take a little while to get it done. Im hoping to be ready for central day but im not banking on it. Green injectors will be fitted after ive run it in. Thermostat housing is now fitted too. Anyway heres the pics And i changed the pulleys over to a poly v set up,much better.

Dont go buying one for £900 cos you can buy a new core (center section of the turbo) from essex turbos for around £440. Then i could fit your old exhaust housing and compressor housing,ive done this so many times i could do it with my eyes closed This would be with a 360 degree beraing and cut back blades,good for 2.0 bar! Well my old one was and that lasted all the time i had it

Mr Sam Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 sweeeeeeeeeeeet shall no dout see it in the next few months
kevmk2 Posted March 24, 2007 Author Report Posted March 24, 2007 Im hoping to be out asap,but not rushing it Heres some pics of todays work Well i was off work today and was supposed to go and pick my engine up,but Joe had to go to belgium with an engine for a customer. So i thought i would crack on and do some bits on the car. First job was to get the dummy block and head out of the bay,along with the gearbox. Then i painted the engine mounts and the crossmember. and polished the whole engine bay. Then i cleaned the bay up and tidied up my heat shield on the inner wing,its much easier to do without the engine in the bay . Then afterwards i just stared at the aeroquip fittings for a bit Then i stared at some of the braided hoses So all in all ive had a very productive day. Now the bay is all ready for when i collect the engine tomorrow afternoon I can get most of the stuff connected back up apart from a few bits that are at my local alloy welders. Once ive got the engine in and bolted up i can then sort out re-aligning my intercooler pipe to clear the air filter hose,so that means another trip to hainult to the alloy welders
