Look what Mr Postie dropped off this morning

Now officially the owner of a Tial 44mm external wastegate. V-bands on both ends for the best mounting possible.

Build quality is the usual Tial. Nothing short of mindblowing... but i'll let you see for yourselves.

Now just my turbo and i can get on with some fabrication.

 

Hey bud, you are making me more and more envious of your build, so thanks...I think?!

 

Cheers dude, im working hard

 

All clued up on the top feed fuel rails, i'm sure the RMC gobstopper had them fitted

That wastegate looks very trick

 

Yeah the Gobstopper does have em Kev, i think Matt & Olly made em.

I'll be making mine anyway

 

Excellent work, Sir!

 

Man this thread is such a tease. I can't wait to see the finished product.

 

Me too

Parts removed from the car will be up for sale guys, TGV less manifold, uppipe, inlet pipe, airbox etc etc etc.

PM me if youre intersted.

 

After much debate, i finally decided where i was now going to mount the fuel pressure regulator. Previously this had been mounted on my offside inner wing. However with the all new fuel system i decided i wanted a more central position so as to make the fuel lines as neat and as equal length as possible.

I can probably say im the world wide winner for the most over engineered FPR bracket in history. Not content with the first one i made, (Felt a bit flimsy) i made a 2nd one. This time out of 6mm ally billet. Its now very very solid and feels nice and strong when bolted up. I managed to get the outlets positioned nice for the returns entering the sides on the exits of the rails.

The rails i will also be making myself.

 

Looks good, however i think RCMS win the most over engineered fuel reg bracket award

 

It was inspired by RCM

 

nice tidy purposeful job as usual mate

got the turbo yet?

 

No mate, still waiting on the turbo. Needless to say i will deffo be posting some pics as soon as it arrives

 

where's it coming from, the states?

 

Yes mate,

 

Whats this thread doing on page 2


Get back up there

Come on Frayz you slacking

 

Sorry Kev, (Slaps wrist)

Not much to update, except my turbo is on back order from Garrett so its not here yet. Nevermind as ive been busying myself making a brackets etc for the new fuel filter.

Also painted the fuel reg bracket etc.

(Please take no notice of the mess by the filter, this is where all my wires are cable tied up for now)

 

out of interest, i know its prob been asked 100 times before, but how much have you spanked on this build so far, and what is your est finished cost?

p.s as i said before awesome build, id love to learn to do this sort of build, and have the $$$$ for that matter! lol

 

Probably about £40K inc cost of the car, that doesnt inc any labour as i do all the work on it myself.

 

when you look at the cost though it sounds like huge amounts. don;t get me wrong it is serious money. but when you think it's a custom car that you have spec'd it nothing compared to what you'd have to pay for something that you could go into a dealers and just buy.

 

Frayz, just check what type of filter is inside that housing, ie paper or fine mesh. Are they serviceable?

 

The Fuelab uses a paper element AFAIK mate, but yes it is serviceable.

 

Thats ok if its serviceable. The paper ones are quite fine, and if its anything like my sytec one, clogged after 1 year (2000 miles).

 

I'll be sure to get a few elements then.

I guess at least its doing its job mate

 

Cough Cough 2 more days have passed by

 

Lol, sorry mate

Just been altering and tidying the loom and engine bay wiring. So nothing really much to show. Takes forever and looks like ive done sod all lol.

Waiting on my turbo to arrive so cant do anything till then.

Going to Rallyday for some inspiration though

 

That's ok we will give you some slack this time

I'll be there on saturday.... I'm going to be on the SIDC stand so come over, if I'm not about give me a buzz we will not be far away.

 

Will do chap, shall i bring the tin opener for Kev?

 

The great flap debate is still in talks

 

Bleedin Jesse's you two.

We can have a proper chat on Saturday. Will be cool to finally catch up with you
