Like that mate, shame about the keying

Thermostat housings are kicking around, i seen a polished one for sale £35 delivered. Might just be a gasket though? Have a ganders in the rst parts for sale section

Good luck with the build mate

 

cheers fella just gonna take a look....

gonna try give it a clean up tomorow and then take some pics

 

i just remembered that the charge cooler hose on the top its not a boost hose was loose this is my first ever turbo'd car and i dont really know what or how a charge cooler works.

 

looks tight under the bonnet good look with it

 

Nice one mate.Why oh why do people have to scratch cars for.

 

some new pics before i start gutting it lol

 

i love that Ka, im hoping to get my girlfriends off her and in place of the 1.3 hcs engine im putting in a zetec s 1.6. I cant believe the fact some dick has done that to your car, only thing i would say is i prefer the standard front lights (just my opinion). otherwise it looks sweet.

 

i got the car for the engine suspension and brakes then its off done the scrappy as im putting it all in this

 

nice one mate..all the best with it

 

should be interesting to watch your progress love the idea of a KA with rst in it.
good luck.

 

small update swapped alot of the parts over now...just the brakes and engine to do next..

 

looks good, think it needs to come higher at the back though.

 

Nice

And higher? hell no!

keep it Slammed!

 

the rear is going up slightly as im fed up with going 1mph over bumps now lol

 

On a normal air-air intercooler air passes over the fins and "takes the heat away" as it were (more technically called Isochoric Process if you want to read up more about it)
A chargecooler (air-water) does the same job, but in a different way. It is basically a heat exchanger which uses water as an intermediary fluid, (as opposed to air) which is then in turn cooled by its own radiator. Simply put its more or less an intercooler in a box with water being pumped round it, this water is then fed through another radiator to cool it down. Usually used where space is a concern.

Hope thats useful mate, liking the project

 

cheers fella....took all the bosst hose's and took charge cooler out an i found out the rad for it werent plumbed in to the c/c it was just circulatin water round the rad pump an pot.

 

I see a S2 ERST inlet, a ERST dizzy but I can't see a MFI metering unit or MFI injection lines? What management do you use?

 

the metering unit is below the air filter its running s1 management...im thinking of running it on gotech mfi soon tho.

 

more pics of it on my facebook

Now I see...

Looks like a quite narrow fit...

 

its prettty tight in there but it fits..only real problem is you have to have a custom rad

 

Niceee!

 

oooooooooooooooo


now this is what you call an exhaust :P

 

Nice project you have there. A mate of mine was going to do an RST conversion in his, but ended up with a bolt on turbo jobbie sent over from the states instead....

He made a good few mags with it, but this one is extremely tidy looking. Good luck with it mate!

 

sweet

cheers mate...the engine will be in my other ka by next saturday so theres gonna be alot of updates this week.
