Look forward to meeting you Mark

Spent Friday driving down to Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire. I went down to collect some Bling from Pennine. Chy and Phil have been working hard on this, and it shows Most of the internals are from Lateral Performance.



They even pollished the Oil separator cover



Spent tonight bolting some of the bits to it with a view to getting Andy to make it go Vroom Vroom soon

Windage tray in



Pickup pipe on



Gucci Lateral Baffled Sump



Fitted



More to follow tomorrow

 

John what turbo did you go with in the end?

Banny

 

John, that is looking very sweet indeed!

 

Banny, turbo is on loan from Andy.F

First off, Arch, outstanding, drove to England twice in two days for me this week and was here all day today, top bloke Can't thank him enough

Heres where we are at, Arch and KennyS were here today and we got a lot done. Pictures don't do it justice as most of the work was Wiring, but peeps seem to like pics so here they are






Some Full Blown Carl Davey'ness here !!!!



Some KennyS Gucci'ness, can you spot it ?




No point in posting wiring pics

Engine's looking lovely John.

See you got rather trigger happy with the RTV gun when fitting the oil pan. I hope there isnt that much overspill inside the crankcase for fear of it coming away and entering the oil pickup pipe?

 

Not an issue, whatever it touches it will stick to, it was all clinically clean, that prob arises when you slap it on and it doesn't stick due to it not being clean.

Another long day in the garage today, thanks again to KennyS and Arch

Kenny finneshed off the brakes with the exception of shimming the AP calipers.

Most of the fuel lines are now done.

More importantly the engine is now in



A few wee modifications around for the keen eye, though Colin has probably already done them :P



Carl's excellent Alternator bracket and Phase 1 - 2 Manifold adaptors

 

Great news !!

Your engine is more in than mine now

 

Looks good John, guess my old pullies come in usefull.

 

Chy called them 'Kent' pulleys, I suspected they were Yorkshire all along

 

I hope Chy does the same on mine!!

Pics are ....

 

Much work on the heads John?

Mark

 

I thought they looked quite shiney in the photos

 

Got a very similar Pennine item just run in and ready to be installed with an MD321V

 

I could not tell if you'd just cleaned the throat out or done any work further than about 2cm down the tract.

Just interested as I have a spare of VVT heads and kent cams wheels

 

John, thats quite a step between the adaptor plates and the intake throats?

 

Not anymore

 

 

I like what you have done with the PS pump bracket, just needs a nice pulley on there to finish it off

 

nice sump John

 

What sort of alternator is that? Is it a later model OEM item of some sort?

 

Denso from a 3cylinder Diahatsu

 

nice one

 

Hows progress been these last few days John ?

 

If you have a look at my project thread you will see its twin with some info on where to get one

 

Looking very nice John.

When's the maiden voyage..?

 

Saturday in theory!

 

.. the best way to do it

 

Look forward to seeing you all in action.

 

Good luck to John and the lads, they are currently on route to Oulton park
Been a frantic couple of weeks for all concerned but it will be worth it.
