Top work on the ol' butty front Andy.
Glad it went in with no real issues - Here's a few photo's
This is going to be one special 5.
Jp's welding skills came in for welding the gearbox circlip in place.

ill get you buttler!!
The first attempt to lift the engine had it's problems - namely a broken lifting eye.
was a top day ,next wensday @5:30 ish around jp's place for fuel tank fitment if anybody's up for itwill be more piccys tommorow once the engine parts and boost pipes/turbo etc in
Then in she went, no lube required.
Oli (buttler) was not impressed.
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

I have to dissagree - it looks the tits. Keep her on there Andy and if you don't I'll Tbag Oli for it.
it looks like the weld has pulled the circlip out of the groove, is it OK?
I'll give him a ring b4 he starts throwing the shafts in
If only he would answer his phone

Top job Handy Andy, was great to see it in the metal and get lump in, reckon you should be good to go for national day!
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!
great idea Andrew
superb work!
could you say to me of which mark come the mask from your turbo?
www.projectptp.com for the turbo blankets/mask
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
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 voidhow 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
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 filldoh!
also finished making braided brake lines and fitted on all four corners
that is automotive porn in my book, seriously hats off, that is ace
that is automotive porn in my book, seriously hats off, that is ace
I agree with Scoff this is fantastic
That's useful as tempratures can get quite warm in there..how long do they take to deliver from America? and where did you get the turbo manifold from?www.projectptp.com for the turbo blankets/mask
Great Project guys, Awesome Car !!
How have I only just come seen this thread, I'm with Scoff pure Automotive porn!
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
