Re: Wallace's Piston Abuser
Thats a nice clean starting point, should shift fairly well when done.
Can I ask why you went for a B18ft engine instead of turboing the F7r?

The reason why i went for the volvo lump was because it is practically the same lump i have now and with it being the rsi i have all the engine mounts i need. With this being my first conversion i didnt want anything to tasking
Re: Wallace's Piston Abuser
Fair enough and at that price you can't really complain, look forward to seeing it running

The only thing i can complain at so far is £57 for a couple of bolts from volvo for the inlet and exhaust manifold.
Just purchashed all head set waterpump cambelt kit in that, so should see some progress soon.
Thanks for the interest

Managed to get a bit of work done this week even though i did come accross a couple of problems. the engine is now fully timed up so now im just waiting on the oil feed for the turbo and the down pipe gasket.
the only real trouble im having with this is getting it plumbed in. i have 3 pipes that im unsure where the go. - The short one from the bottom of the turbo
- The long one from the back of the turbo
- The one that comes round the front of the block, which i think goes to the heater matrix
If some one could help me with the coolant run that would be perfect
