    And there she is all in place - Unfortunately, Handy had a wrong engine mount which he has since sorted, so if it looks a bit on the pi** then that should be sorted by tomorow AM.

    Top job

    Re: R5 GTTurbo 2

    nice work.. can't wait to hear and see it cranked up and rolling!

    I have a slightly easier method of installing the engine, I have a little trolley see picture.. I've since modified it slightly with two raised bits that meet the subframe giving clearance for the sump.
    With the back of the car jacked up, I wheel the engine into the engine bay.. slide a jack underneath, jack up and drop the four mounting bolts in, this allows me to do the whole job single-handedly.. then plumb up as normal, it's quite useful for unsociable hours when you just feel the need to take the engine out

    I generally leave the driveshafts, hubs and struts connected although thats down to preference!

    Re: R5 GTTurbo 2

    any ideas to which duct and where to mount my air duct for the airbox
    cant get underneath or to the side vents ,to many bits in the way

    i can either go up through the engine cover or straight out the back of the boot(as shown in piccys above, any ideas or opinions on what would work/look the most sensible

    Re: R5 GTTurbo 2

    You could mock up a perspex right rear 3/4 'glass' and have a cold feed straight to the airbox/turbo?

    That way you could incorporate a subtle duct for the air scoop effect

    how about into that plastic vent next to your water tank.. that should go over your wheel arch.. maybe you can force some air from your side vent through that passage..if it still exisits

    could make an alloy plate with duct running out of it ,directly feed into airbox, that way the air would have to be pulled over the wheel arch void another good idea andy

    few more updates, fitted gear box oil and engine oil , intrestingly because i've shimmed the the front drivers mount by 12mm and fabricated passenger side the engine,it seems to be tilting back a liitle more ,and has taken a bit more oil in both area's ie it has taken 4 litres of gear oil ,and 4 litres of engine, the dipstick only shows half full , or do the f7p/f7r take more oil anyway to fill havent read oil capacity in haynes manual yetdoh!

    4 -5 days for delivery , the manifold is the cast item jobbie that k -tec sell , but got mine of ebay £89 or try www.engine dynamics/or performance engine components (pec) only thing is if you want to run a bigger t3 then you will need a adapter plate (ebay £40-50)or weld your own must admit if i did'nt have the supercharger ,would have gone for a tubular type with longer headers(follow on the lines of r5 turbo2 ,and bought it around the side of block
