    Re: R5 Evolution

    Hey guys, bit of an update for you, it took a while to get here but the exhaust manifold has arrived which was a big deal because now the bulkhead and transmission tunnel can be fabricated.







    It was made in the states by a company called JMF, and they have done a fantastic job and still comes with a lifetime garrenty







    The transmission is mocked up for the fabrication of the tunnel to begin plus we tried the seating position, and lets just say someone ordered the incorrect size seats DOH!!!

    My frame was a bit to big for these so i'll have to sort these out and order the bigger size



    The inlet manifold is nearly finished just need to source the injectors and fuel rail so we can fix the fuel rail holders into position.



    Here's a few other pictures i took of the engine mounts, and the engine sits nicely under the bonnet







    So the next stage is to finally fix in the pedal's and seat and fabricate the bulkhead and transmission tunnel...... oh and order the correct size seats its amazing how easy you gain weight as soon as you break the 30 barrier time to get my arse down the gym

    Hi guys, turbo's been fitted up to shape the bulk head and see how it fits, its quite snug to be honest.





    A new water housing has been fabricated and a remote thermostat housing has been sourced to make it more accessible for ease of servicing.



    The turbo is a standard Evo X TD05 unit, which is sufficient enough for what i need it for The injectors and fuel rail are also en-route, so we can finish off the inlet manifold by welding in the fuel rail supports. I've used Injector Dynamics 1000cc units and an Aeromotive billet aluminium fuel rail, i'll get some pictures up when they arrive.

    Cheers guys

    That is a shame.

    Let's keep it amicable though fellas, they have their site, we have ours. At the end of the day we all like the same thing.

    Looks like a nice build. Love the manifold, looks top quality! After reading the first part of the build I was hoping it to see an update at the end...doesn't look like it'll happen on here though, shame.
