Great thread, looking forward to seeing the finished article.
Not tempted to tart up the engine parts a little? i.e. belt covers matching green etc?

 

no it will be fine when its in just like to simplify everything mate.

 

just a couple to keep you going iv done a fair bit of progress but will put all the pics up when iv finnished fitting the turbo lines.

 

iv spent the last few weeks sortin all the little jobs out like poly bushing linkages, ex. iv sorted all the turbo out now and got it all in place should make good progress now with most the little jobs done.

few pics of the turbo

 

BEAST!! The colour coded IM looks very, very cool!

 

Looks good, how did you deal with the oil return on the turbo ?

 

hello thanks for the comments.

the oil return was a bit tricky. after i was given a bit of rubbish info on the oil levels in a runnuing engine which set me back a bit i did some tests. i.e. oil levels in the sum when runnings. slop when cornering braking ex. flow out the turbo.

i managed to work out the minimum hight i could have the turbo (hense the choping of the chassi leg) then made a hidrolick oil pipe up with prosure fittings and a one way valve in the sum.(for when the engine is off the oil level will put pressure on the valve to stop the oil coming out the turbo when stud. so when its first started the turbo doesnt run dry for any amount of time. i got the angles of the return worked out the degrees of the pipe for gravity flow. then when i fixed it in the side of the sump i had to braze a new maze of baffles to aid the flow of oil.

i think i have got it all worked out and on paper it should work fine. but like anything differnt wait to see i have a plan b which is to pipe in an electric oil pump to run from the bottem of the turbo but i wanted to do it this way first to keep things simple less things to go wrong.

 

a few more bits done today.

 

looking very very nice!!!!

engine bay is awesome...........

 

looking very mean. any pics of how you done the reverse inlet? how did you block up the original side and then get the tb on the oposite side?

 

Looks like mine but in green

 

Does look very impressive mate,
When do you reckon it will be finished,
Are you going to watch me at totb

 

of course i will come mr north give us a tx and tell me were and when and i will be there chap. good luck for the day. is your bro in it aswell. should be done soon.

flat4 i havent seen your car mate but if it looks like yours then im half way to having a good car, if your leading the club class then it must be a good thing just a shame its not going to go as fast or handle like yours

 

just wanted to say that is one hell of a mint scoob.
