Thats a small can of WD40 you have there sir. Makes that air filter look huge. Good to see you have finally got the ball rolling. Again

Steven

 

Looks like I may not need to remove the abs to fit it either

David

 

cannot see the pics, is it just me?

 

just you

 

Don't know if this is of any use David

Removed Up-pipe,downpipe & turbo last night.

Plenty of room for trial fitting the turbo now

 

Oh dear.

I did wonder if they were too wide, as they looked it in the pics.

Was that the reason?

mail me too

Gearbox and driveshafts next then?

 

Yeah.. Sort of putting it off due to my back being fcuked.

David

 

David,

I am trying to weigh up the merits of head work/cams. You mentioned you are sticking with the Phase I heads with I think "light" work.

With the spec of things you are building do you think your UK cams will hold things back?

The last thing I want is a 2.33 breathing through valves with insufficient lift and duration, but don't want more feature creep either. What are you thinking?

 

did I say maddest cams? oops.. just had an email from mark..

600bhp should be obtainable from reasonably low boost or

reasonable = less than I was planning

Hoses are in the back of my mates van

David

 

Gutted...

All hoses are here but they are useless..

-6 Fittings on the end fine

Braided Fine

Internal Diameter is... wait for it...

4.5mm WTF I said 8mm.. didnt help when someone suggested I just raise the pressure

David

 

hmm, oh dear.

Pukka aeroquip or similar AN-6 hose should be 8mm or so.

I was going to ask for a source of AN/JIC fittings, cheapest I found so far are from www.speedflow.co.uk and Mocal from www.thinkauto.com

Paul

 

Thats what I thought [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Well done David.

May pop round later on to have a look

 

 

I might be around later too on the way 'ome...

 

Are those equal length headers? If so, how is the exhuast note? Did you make them yourself?

Also how long does it take to remove the engine. Assuming you have the right tools...

 

David, what on earht is that lump bolted to the top of your clutch fork ?

I've never seen one of those before!

 

removing the engine and mounting it on the stand took me, on my own about 1hr..

Including answering the phone to idiots wanting to know silly things...

Tim.. think its some sort of weight..

will be removed in my weight saving plan.

David

 

Posted Cheque this morning for my ecu, 5 days lead time as it is a special order one

Thanks to M.A.Developments

David

 

Whats up with the manifolds??? There are no flanges for an up-pipe, and it looks like you are making/modifying the collectors yourself???

 

give the man a peanut

home made up-pipe for huge turbo install

Paul

 

I am, I asked for different sized collectors.. primarys are 1.5" and secondary's are 1.75"

Waiting for the flanges for the Garrett and External wastegate...

then I can position the turbo in the correct place and bend and weld it into the correct place..

David

 

Top Service from Lateral Performance once again..

Fuel Pressure Reg, Gaskets and flanges turned up today..

David

 

Thanks for the advice David, you are one brave monkey doing this conversion, makes bloody good reading though.
