Nope fitting not sorted yet. Got to make some adapter plates Port Shape to Throttle Body Outlet Shape, hopefully going to use phenolic material, DW is going to assist in the manufacture of these items. Once they are bolted in place construction of the inlet manifold and plenum can start.

Going to try and position the turbo on the car over Christmas and look at getting the two up pipes made.

Ever wish you'd not started something....

Perhaps I'll just buy an EVO VIII and be happy with the power...

Im beginning to wonder about about cnc machining some throttle bodys that would bolt direct to the head...

Ive finished wondering.

David was that a classic case of posting before reading properly???

Conrad

LOL

David

 

With regard to what Mr.W?

Conrad

Paul, do you have the facillity to 3D model from a mould I'm going to take?

Regards

Conrad

 

Conrad.. Not a problem.. .

Im working most days around christmas.. but will be home early

David

 

Cool, I'll bring the turbo and the Stella!

Conrad

 

 

And we could make the phenolic spacers while we are messing, did you get a router?

I need to get hold of a workshop manual, anybody know where I can get one? Need to get all the torque settings.

If I was considering another vehicle to receive this engine rather than my STi 8 (expensive) what would be the best one?

Wagon? UK Turbo? Type RA? How Old etc?

Conrad

 

My Ra is for sale but it might be too fast for you

 

Andy,

Erm.. no.

I nearly fainted today when chatting to conrad..

I thought I was bonkers.. he's just silly

David

 

I agree, anyone that is pumping big money into a scoob engine is 'silly' IMHO

 

Andy - If it was properly sorted I might of been interested

Conrad

 

PMSL That doesn't say much for your opinion of all the other scoobs in the UK, which for the last 2 years have just been.... er ...slower

 

have to give that one to andy.

Personally I don't like doing things on the cheap but andy forgets to include that his expertise is not cheap to other people.

His car has done what it has done because he knows what he is doing and has done what others of us would have to pay for (ie engine strip downs and rebuilds) himself.
