Its a chargespeed item i got from Neil at Eclipse motor bodies (EMB on here) i arnt sure how much it they are now, i got mine on group buy. I think theyre still cheaper then RCM ones though

hth!

 

Engine bay is a mess, ready to replace turbo, headers, up-pipe, pulleys + AVCR fit


These landed today - Thanks to Chris

 

Hmmmmm..... Nice !

dunx

 

Just taken delivery of my injectors today and won a front interior light + loom off ebay as mine only had the middle one, so was able to fix the avcr pod in place for trail fitting - this will be fitted fully when i get some alcantera to trim the roof in. Il probs get some fancy LED interior bulbs for the front one aswell, and a blue one for the middle.

Hopefully will look a lot better trimmed up!



The end keeps getting nearer!

 

Until you start moving the goal posts....

LOL

dunx

 

Not this year dunx! (touch wood) Hopefully just get it running for summer

New exhausts, buckets + maybe a cage through winter

 

Check this out - GT Specs by Harvey smith, Ceramic coated by Nick @ Camcoat in warrington. REALLY Pleased arnt the words - cheers guys!

 

Those headers look the nuts Jon.

 

Cheers neil, should look better fitted haha

 

looking very swanky posh young man

 

Update - knackared starter motor off, need a new item this one refused to turn over at all.

 

Nice going stuff looks good. Thought i would put this up incase you fancy going the fiberglass way...



Keep up the good work

Baly

 

LOL, that's out of my old classic.

 

Modded my catch can to er, catch stuff and make sure it doesnt come back out!

On a classic the 2 rocker cover breathers a connected, so the oulet on the RHS of the manifold is effectivly 2, and then just the pcv valve to blank off

Open says me, Insert some hose to go to the bottom of the can.


sponge avec hole for hose


er, finito

 

Looks good mate

Shame they don't come with something like that as standard to be honest! What tube did you use?

 

just some rubber stuff that came with my AVCR mate, as im gonna be using blue silicone everywhere else inc AVCR pipes. Fits snug.

If you get stuck finding some il cut you two lengths and post you em.

 

No real updates, been saving for turbo, clutch, flywheel + simtek - gonna stop messing about doing little bits and do it all at once. hopefully should be ready for mapping july time - money permitting.

Anyway - big thanks to Daz Davies for dropping this off for me today.



5.4kg Going to to fit with ARP Studs + pair it to a Helix clutch...well not me personally because im NOT taking my gearbox off on jacks but someone will

 

Looking good m8 - keep going!

 

can I ask how much the ceramic coating was?

 

Don't be scared of doing it yourself mate only took me 15 hours with grazed nuckles a sore back and massive ear ache off our lass sounds tempting doesn't it

 

just short of £300 but i had them posted back to me so this included courier costs

it was done by camcoat in warrington, but i will have to see how it fairs compared to zircotec etc, as mark @ lateral seems to think theyre two different types of coating.

 

Thanks to Chris + CDF for hooking me up with parts + fantastic service once again

22mm flat out, duno which setting to put it on though!



Droplinks to come

 

something missing?



Oil temp sender in - very easy without a manifold in the way


Pulleys - 2 out of 3 aint bad, having another crack at crank when we find out how to get it off!


Off for mods


Scrapping, td04, stock inlet hose + fuel rails.

 

Busy, busy !

dunx

 

pockets = empty!

cracking on dunx, par fuel rails to do, inlet ot polish, new ind pipe to find and still a turbo to source

arrrrrrrrr

 

LOL, I'm skint too, and when I'm not it will need insuring again !

ARGH !

dunx

 

Well, Plan was to buy it a new starter and clutch until the inlet came off so now i needs everything for parallel rails, including 6an fittings + braided line.

Block needs cleaning, A blue silicone inlet hose needs to go on, manifold to be polished + spaced 11mm from block using RCM carp tufnol spacers, header tank to be spaced from manifold using carl davey spacers + also polished, then once i source a turbo it can all be chucked back on.

GT specs have been bolted up, but schoolboy error means theyve gotta come back off to fit the up-pipe as it wont go in from the top

2 Rocker breathers that breathed oily vapour back into inlet have now been put on the 'vent to atmosphere' list so i can utilise my catch can to catch everything from the main offender - the crankcase breather!!

annnnd, still need to order some front drop links for the FARB to go on, expensive month

July finish time, pftt

 

lol, good luck hitting your deadline

 

Up pipe will go in from top if you undo drivers side engine mount nut and jack the engine up slightly at the side. Note Do not jack it on the sump

 

Trails
P20SPD - be alright, only 6 nuts on headers to undo..er again

Anyway, Solution for anyone running a Japspeed or similar 2 port catch can, heres how to get all 3 breathers NOT breathing oily vapour back into your inlet/turbo/intercooler

£3.49 bargains from the bay! One for each rocker breather, then vent your Crankcase one into the tank, and VTA/re-circ your tank as you like (did my homework, crankcase is main offender when it comes to oily vapour an i aint re-circulating anything )



Swanky poshness fitted


Awaiting -
RCM manifold insulators + fittings
Carl davey Header tank insulators + new injector O-rings
Whiteline wire front droplinks from scoobyparts.
Zero/sports thermostat from scoobyclinic

Starter motor...er still to order!

Inlet manifold ported / polished / coated to a mirror finish as silver reflects heat, so should in theory be keeping the inlet temps cool (along with the whole theme of trying to keep everything as cool as possible)

8 nights at work starting wednesday so will hopefully be purchasing billet fuel rails + silicon inlet from Harvey to fit weekend after next.

Thanks
I just wana say thanks firstly to Harvey Smith for 1) All the advice he has given 2) All the quality parts + service iv had from him, so thank you sir!

Secondly, massive thanks to AndyH for all his help removing my inlet / fuel rails / headers / turbo / pulleys..cant believe you took my inlet off while i wasnt looking

more to follow....
