Hi steven would love to help but just haven't got the time, trying to sort cars out for national day etc. Best thing i can offer is get some pics up of what stage your at in the engine bay and we can all talk you through it.
ok bud ill get some pics up, be warned theres a lot to do.....
i think it would be easier if people just looked at it and directed ? As i said im new to 5s im a punto gt man really but just love the r5. I know theres no alternator or coolant and oil breather pipes cause ive been gathering spares over the past year hence theres still alot to do. Im gratefull for all help thanks steve.
Steve, any chance you can take a picture straight in front of the car looking down, so you get the full bay in makes it a bit easier.
ok pal ill do it now
Ok for starters looking at the water pump from the bottom up:
big outlet at the bottom goes to bottom radiator outlet
Next one goes to right and side bottom header tank
Biggest water pump outlet goes to top of rad ( should have a thermostat in this and a bleed nipple on it)
Next goes to the top side swirl pot outlet
i dont have any coolant pipes yet or alternator they are next on the list m8.
Well you need to tell us which bits you want sorting first
ok where to begin,1 where do the oil pipes go to from above the filter ?
2 the yellow pipe that has a metal t-piece has a union on the other end so ive screwed it to the base of the oil feed pipe for the turbo, is this correct ?
3 where does the pipe that comes from the left of the yellow t-piece, as you look at it go to ?
4 on the sump pan at the front of the engine theres a red silicone 90 degree hose, what goes to that ?
5 on the left of the carb lobster there is two outlets what goes on to the back outlet ?
6 where does the tdc sensor bolt to on the engine ?
7 ive already established that the accelorator cable between a phase 1 and 2 are different as one mounts from the left and the other from the right, my cable should mount from the left but as the engine is not from this car the carb brackets say it should mount from the right. Would buying the other cable cure my problem or is it not that simple ?
1 oil pipes above the filter go to the side of the rad on the gtt, like a cheap built in cooler,this is assuming you have the gtt rad?
2 yellow pipe is not on the gtt as standard, could be part of an after market oil pressure / temp gauge, not sure why it has a t piece either
3 are we still on about the t piece from question 2?
7 think you can change the brackets on the carb.
i got loads of hoses and a alternater if you want them.i thought these pics would be helpfull theres pics of where the coolant hoses go the oil feed pipes and the breather pipes.
so steven ypou have the aei connected to the turbo oil feed line?
Modfather (rob) is a good lad he'll give you a good price
looking at the diagram rob put up of the oil pipework, there seems to be something like a bolt or a sensor under the banjo bolt for the turbo oil feed ? could be a sensor for the dash clocks maybe ? just a thought.
on the frontal pic to the right of the dizzy cap in between the two plugs, what is the barrel looking sensor with a thread on it ? i only put it there cause ive seen it there on other peoples engine pics.
knock sensor mate
