just before xmas i managed to get hold of a turbo off ebay but the exhaust housing was f**cking massive and would have had to be used with an external wastegate,i got hold of a standard erst exhaust housing again from billyrst,luckily i had a garret turbo main shaft that fitted the exhaust housing so used that with the compressor wheel from the turbo from ebay

all i had to do then was send it off to gbturbo solutions to be balanced

when i got the turbo back i bolted it on and it smoked like f**k all the time

this is when i found out that it was the turbo oil return pipe i had made was causing the problems

i had spotted a kit on ebay ages ago so found it again and purchased it 3 or 4 days before xmas but it didnt turn up till just after the new year

the kit was £35 plus £10 postage but then i also had to pay £15 customs charges

jonesymk2 · 09-01-2008, 04:33 PM

once i had sorted the kit out i went to my dads place on saturday and fitted it to the car

i welded the part onto the sump with the engine in place as didnt have enough time to take the engine out to get the sump off,i drained some of the oil before i drilled the hole then when i had drilled the hole i drained the rest out to wash any bit of metal that might have got into the sump when i drilled the hole,once the bits were done i had to run the pipe round the front of the exhaust as it would hav just kinked the pipe if i had routed it any other way

now the car is back on the road again and no smoke now which makes a change

jonesymk2 · 09-01-2008, 04:39 PM

when i get chance ive got a few other ideas i want to get started on so as soon as i start them i will update,also if anybody knows where i can get hold of a set of fiat barchetta door handles that would be a great help fiat want £60 each handle but if i cant get any second hand i will have to buy new items

combi-boy · 13-01-2008, 03:12 AM

nice one fella! its looking good mate.

jonesymk2 · 20-01-2008, 03:45 PM

ive had a set of ebc greenstuff front pads sat around for a while now so i thought i would put them on

i then thought while i had the front end in the air i might aswell put my anti roll bar poly bushes on aswell

then i also thought i might aswell put my adjustable lower arms on aswell

all on and bolted up

just got rear brake pads to do now

jonesymk2 · 22-01-2008, 01:55 PM

got braided front brake pipes to fit when i get chance

already got braided lines on the back

jonesymk2 · 27-01-2008, 08:36 PM

picked up another toy yesterday

another s2 and its got full leather in it so will be swapping that into the estate

jonesymk2 · 31-01-2008, 09:08 AM

well ive put the leather interior in and it looks better than i was expecting

will put pics up when photobucket is working

jonesymk2 · 31-01-2008, 03:17 PM

im hoping to look at the combi tonight or tomorrow to see what condition its in,apparently its already black so just going to keep it that way and also going to get a s1 kit for it aswell hopefully so will have a matching pair

just got to wait and see what the combi shell is like and if its good i will hopefully get it mid march then going to save for a set of 17s instead of the erst standard wheels

yeh i like black cars aswell mate ha ha,my erst i stripped for the parts to go into my estate was black,ive just stripped a black efi xr3i for the efi parts for the combi,i had the estate painted black obviously,the erst ive bought as the donor car for the combi is black and the combi is black aswell

i will have whatever wheels i get for the combi painted a similar colour to the estate wheels

im hoping to get it as good as the estate and hopefully keep the costs down under £2500 and then maybe see if fast ford would like it enough to do another feature,was also thinking if performance ford would do a grudge match with the 2 cars

also did a couple other bits aswell but got to dark to get any pics so will get them tomorrow

jonesymk2 · 07-02-2008, 05:02 PM

ok finally got round to getting some pics of the frst inlet manifold and charge carrier pipe

as i used all the parts from the efi xr3i it had a remote iscv and it looked a bit untidy as i was using a erst charge carrier so the pipes were a bit messy,i had the frst inlet and charge carrier pipe sitting around for a while so fitted them to tidy it up a bit as the iscv is on the side of the inlet manifold

i also got hold of some bonnet raisers the other week from a frst,the holes for the bonnet bolts were in different places so just had to drill an extra hole in each block

bonus_boy · 07-02-2008, 06:49 PM

your bonnet aint shut!!!!!

grrrr hate people that say that...had loads of people say it when i had my red popular...and just brought some off me mate so my bonnet wont shut again soon!

i just meant that people can say what they want but its my car so will do what i want

yeh i cant wait for people to start saying the same about mine

i need them at the moment as my fan is only standard so it has trouble coping with the heat especially with the front mount intercooler

i will still keep them though once i get a decent cooling fan

bonus_boy · 07-02-2008, 08:50 PM

oh sorry mate, wonderd what you meant...

had some dodgy people basically jumping out infront of you, saying your bonnets open mate and actually coming up to the car and pushing the corner of the bonnet down lol!!

i was like!!

what the fuck you doing!!!!

tis funny though when people comment but those people that do the above! piss you off!

get some kenlowes on the front fella......they work a treat!

jonesymk2 · 07-02-2008, 08:53 PM

yeh sorry mate my fault i didnt explain very well

yeh i can imagine it would get annoying

yeh im keeping an eye out for some decent fans but got a few things to pay for 1st including a combi van beginning of march

so will probably be end of march time

jonesymk2 · 20-03-2008, 08:31 PM

ok done a few little things lately plus also picked a combi van up aswell the other week,ive fitted a volt meter to the fuel pump feed so i can see if anything happens and the voltage drops at the pump i can stop asap

also fitted an act gauge just need a sensor for it now

also managed to get my astra gte digi dash ready to fit at the weekend at last

looks a bit messy on the back but once its in you cant see it anyway

lozi · 21-03-2008, 12:02 AM

cars looking awsome mate keep it up!

how difficult is it to wire in the astra gte digi dash into a ford, ive always wondered.

jonnyrsturbo · 21-03-2008, 12:16 AM

good work

shame about the turbz

NEEDFORSPEED · 21-03-2008, 09:44 AM
