2 cans of rockstar energy and hey presto! rad fitted, chargecooler rad fitted, chargecooler fitted along with boost pipes, filter, bonnet etc what a pain in the arse fitting it all lol if only i had a pair of jeremy beadle hands to get in all them small spaces!
Please excuse the crappy iphone pics but my birds sister is off with my sd card for the camera lol! jobs to do now are some soldering, tidy up wires with electrical tape and hide somewhere, also a test drive then mr mot
glad to see its coming to an end mate, be good to have it up the road, (and also to get my garage space back lol) i think she will be rapido. is it wise to lend your birds sister the card from your camera with all that home made porn on it?

it makes no odds if she sees the home made porn, shes probably in half of them lol
course it fits lol, they came with cvh's as standard. a vr6 in there, that would be tight!
Standard with turbo,chargecooler,radiator that would do a bus,chargecooler rad,swirl pot,fuel pump,boost pipes, grp A k&n? Em nope lol! I dont think a vr6 would go in lol and it would handle shite like mvw
Got the wiring tidied up and odds n ends sorted out before taking her out for a test drive! popped the exhaust manifold at the first sign of boost lol so a gen ford one is getting ordered asap! might get rid of that ridic pace rad as its double the thickness of the standard item and fouling the turbo! apart from that im a happy chappy, fitted some cool autospecialists charge carrier grommets i got in the post today,heres some shit iphone pics again lol, ive got my sd card back but not in time for taking photos tonight!
autospecialists,,you couldnt help yourself!
will it be spinning the choobs soon?
Lol its the only place i could find the charge carrier grommets! got the exhaust manifold gasket changed tonight by backing out the studs and sliding out the gasket! then put the new one in and re-fitted the studs! job done

Exhaust manifold gasket! went for a proper blast tonigh :0 beast is all im saying
Put some petrol in the car tonight and managed to take it for a proper drive! to say its quick is an understatement lol, it still needs some wiring tidied up and the alternator wired up before its mot! apart from that im very happy with the way its turned out and look forward to driving it over the summer
Can you just do 1 thing for me mate it's proper bugging me in the pics, can you put the ignition leads under the charge pipe instead of over the top, mental project tho mate.

then they will get baked by the turbo and go brittle and crack surley? think ryan has the correct plastic bit to clip them into anyway
top projet how much power you think the new engine has and did you use a 1800 or 2ltr bottom end
I built the engine originally so i suppose ill answer, 2 litre silver top block, wossner forged pistons, std rods, arp rod bolts, new big end shells (preventetive measure) burton power ZVH head gasket, minty mint EFI cvh head, new stem seals and all the usual new gaskets etc. Esimate around 250 BHP, with much more torque all over than the original 1600
Its not taken you too long to turn this around,eh?
Great progress, and the wheels look cool
Well tbh i could have had it done quicker BUT i work offshore and ive kinda been busy so its taken longer than expected! just glad its nearly done cheers
