yeah you're right - its a little on the small side for mine

 

heated up the subframe tonight and gave it a gentle tap with the biggest hammer I could find..

Exhaust looks like it fits, however it was last orders..

David

 

v.nice ! & I do like the masking tape over the number so no one can see what turbo it is!

 

I can't read, i need pictures

 

Thats not the turbo im using either.. Im just not giving anything away yet... Also no mention of heads valves or cams etc.

 

Big thanks to SammyH for the gear linkage..

and also big thanks to someone else on here that sent me a 6spd ****

David

 

If you look closely you can just make out the model No. on the turbo..

ROFL


Yeah, but one per cylinder !

 

Glad to hear it's going well David.. good work!

James

 

Who said is going well..

too much time rob..

6spd linkage is in, right PITA.. but im stubborn and wouldnt remove the prop or adjust the angle of the box..

now nicely bodged with over sized split pin and a collection of bolts that are probably required elsewhere..


Fuel pump wiring is going in..

Fuel pumps and filters are temorarily cable tied to a mdf board..


engine is back in temporarily for wastegate pipe work fitting.. bumper has been primed again but gun was spitting so that was a waste of time.. need to flat that off again..

Gearbox is now mounted properly.. only thing I need to go under the car for now is to make the exhaust etc..
Pics will come later, just too busy.. work car bed.. work car bed..

ARGH.. Stressed..

David

 

David, are you adjoining the wastegate pipework to the downpipe/centre? or atmosphericaly? (sp)
A friend of mine has his to atmos and it sounds feckin mental on boost.. but is too loud to do it publically

Someone was saying that it isnt really an option if track days are a persons 'bag' due to noise restrictions. Are there any noise reg's for TOTB?? if not please make it To AT...

Rob

 

AFAIK its going to atmos, no noise regs at Elvington AFAIK

David, i will ring you later, need help, panicking now, in return i will help you with yours more than already promised

Steven

 

Its going to vent under the car with no silencer. :O

David

I touched it last night

 

and the car

Andy

 

Like the 6speed.. nice touch..

On the up pipe.. there is a branch off which goes into a hole just below where the steering knuckle joint is.. is that a trick of the camera or something else???
