Must have been out of the loop for too long, someone has grown a beard and is considered to be wise

hopefully tuesday night will get some pics up, the egt/air temp gauges turned up yesterday, so might fit that as well if i have enough time
exhaust system and screamer pipe system should be finished by end of next week also

Good work Andy - Might pop along to see you, or may start removing my engine.

Looks great! What turbo is it?
A fooking big one.
Looks like a gtx because of the 11 blades however it isn't a gtx cover...
GT3071r fitted with an aftermarket GTX comp wheel
must have been way cheaper then my gtx3071r then?
although you shouldn't forget the geometry of the gtx wheel is different than the gt wheel so the housing is probably sh*t on it....
Thats an awful lot of effort to blow up a glove.
I have a bonner!
hahahaha
Wow thats a big turboits going to sound awesome spooling up when its two feet from your head
Niceone Andy, - am thinking meet up when shes done with the usual suspects?!
I'm thinking of a Crimbo Doo.
Maybe a meet up in Cambridge to get southern members involved also.

C'mon MoFo - Update please.
formed new turbo oil return pipe back to sump, for the new turbo position ,(15 mm copper pipe and bender,and 2x copper olives for the swaged ends
wired in the new starter motor,fitted the hydro pipe to the clutch cylinder/ release bearing,(m10x1.00) for future reference if anyone else goes 02m route
also fitted the header tank, coolant hoses for the rad (pain in the arse,getting it to clear the gear selector arms/bracket) turbo and wastegate, also fitted the 350cc injectors to the first fuel rail (closest to the cylinder head) and fitted a new tow eye bracket and seatbelt type tow strap
Tim is taking the car up to his workshop today,so hopefully by the end of this week the manifold and exhaust system will be complete
getting there
decided to run the wastegate and exhaust seperate to each other , i know we spoke about this a few weeks ago, and the sound of a screamer pipe sounding like poo!!, but i still dont think it will be a big problem in my case as the exhaust is loud anyway and being only 1.5m long in total length and with the engine being fairly close to the seating area,
the waste gate pipe will run along side the exhaust system and both will then be joined together where they exit the rear bumber , should look very nice ,and have less flow restrictions/turbulance issues to overcome
been busy buying more bits for the beast, bought a few m6 rose joints and rods for turbo bracket support/ bars, two poly x exhaust mounts and another load of fuel lines/connetors/ in line filter for modifiying the existing fuel system with,
looks like im going to be busy for a few more weeks/months yet
**** that'll be a laugh in the wet...
wooooooooooooooosh,,spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin....Hopefully change, and again wooooooooooooooooooosh,,spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin hopefully change........

Just copy the [img]url[/img] link below the pic and paste it here.
here is a few piccys of the wastegate and exhaust system,still got a little bit of work to do
here is a few of the the engine bay with the pipe work dummy fitted so to speak, still need to fettle abit with the layout
here is a few of the new hydrolic handbrake, had to ditch the old set up, as the new gear selector system got in the way of 2nd and 4th and sixth
here is the new exhaust pipe layout
and finaly a few shots of the outside of the car, its not been cleaned in months and has a few issues with movement cracks on the kit, but will sort theses out next year
and some more shots of the front splitter and connards
got lots more to do, like getting rid of the ****e fit carbon bonnet, got a nice 16v fibreglass item to fit, not everyones cup of tea
and get rid of the scoops as they dont look right, already started making new items,but with horizontal slats like the original skeete type
and a general tidy up over winter along with a gauge sort out,knock sensor to fit ,air/exh temp gauge, and maybe meth injection to go in
Finally some progress pics
Where do you get the intake air from?
Outstanding project mate really does look amazing and I'm quite jealous actually
Phil
Finally some progress pics
Where do you get the intake air from?
passenger rear side scoop for the air filter, drivers side for the oil cooler, rad is still in the front for engine
Car looks fantastic mate, those image rims really suit the car well
I think the 16v bonnet will look good, where did you get it from?
Great work Andy, - been busy then! look forward to seeing her finished
Give me 1st refusal on the ****e bonnet ;-)
