Paul Whiffin Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Well, here are some before photos of the engine bay. Some of the bits need a good tidy up as its not been finished off previously, you'll soon see the difference with the after photos early next week. Pic of the engine bay of when it arrived, looks alright at first glance. http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/images/forum pics/deans car/engine.jpg Intercooler pipe, 5 silicon joins, temporary fix me thinks http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/images/forum pics/deans car/10112008460.jpg Boost control solenoid http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/images/forum pics/deans car/10112008459.jpg Water injection pump and fuel pressure regulator stuffed into a corner, what a mess of wires and pipes http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/images/forum pics/deans car/10112008461.jpg Edited November 19, 2008 by Paul Whiffin (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Might have been worth judging the car when it was finished, which it was not ! Dean wanted it back for Suprapod so we got it back together for that, we just couldn't fit it in afterwards as quickly as Dean wanted.
