Muffleman Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Not going after anyone with this, not my style. Mine neither, that pipe was made so that Dean could get to Suprapod, it held 1.2bar fine although looks naff but it was as a result of the HKS and BL manifolds being quite dimensionally different. Dean and I said that there was more to do after the Pod. Oh, and agreed on the FPR\Nos wiring, it was worse before ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Cars been put in to Pauls place as he was able to fit me straight in, and like AFR and Phoenix he has a good reputation, some of the areas in in need of finishing in the photo's were a result of needing the car back to go to the pod as stated so was aware I am just looking forward to getting it back and the work Whifbitz has taken on for me is in the main cosmetic but this car stands me for a LOT of dough and I want it to be as good as my wallet will allow It has been through several tuners in the last couple of years and every tuner has their own opinion on how things should be/should have been done, there is always something that looks like it could have been done better, that includes Phoenix, AFR, Turbofit, TDI etc, I have used them all This car has had another £5,000 spent in a couple of months, I just hope the end results make it one of the best, and most of all fun to drive again Look forward to the after pics early next week to see what £1000+ worth of parts does for the look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDO Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I want it to be as good as my wallet will allow.... I just hope the end results make it one of the best, and most of all fun to drive again Sure you'll be happy with it Dean.. shout his praise a bit, but Paul has helped me loads over the past 4 years with my motor, mainly just "up keep" and a few mods (+ loads of advice), but have also seen him, Darren and the team working on pauls car and the other two Time attack cars plus the Rx7 and they def' know what they want to achieve and have a high standard.. (By no way saying that other garages don't!!, just that i know first hand of Garage whifbitz standard of work).. As said previously it will be the nuts when done, Enjoy it!!..

Paul Whiffin Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) Ok, took a few pics, it was getting dark so there not that great! The turbo and water elbow just showed up a few minutes ago so got to bolt that on tomorrow. Also K/N filter arrived today along with a nice shiny new alloy intake pipe. With also given the engine bay a lick of paint where required as it was scratched up badly. Its going to look nice when its all back together. Water injection moved to boot, between back seat and strut brace. Custom made alloy water tank. http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/deans car/water injection.jpg HKS DLi moved and FPR remounted. http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/deans car/fpr.jpg Greddy pullies and billet tensioner pulley, cleans the front up no end. http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/deans car/greddy pullies.jpg New HKS BOV SSQV2 fitted to new polished alloy intercooler pipe http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/deans car/bov.jpg Edited November 20, 2008 by Paul Whiffin (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Looking very tidy Dean, it's soooo difficult getting the engine bay tidy IMHO, there's always a mess of pipes & wires going from one thing to another, the Yanks seem to be able to pull off very clean bays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 A few more pics for you, just got to mount the water injection jet and sort your catch tank. Water neck, both water take offs welded up and polished. Water feed for turbo moved to clear new air intake pipe. http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/deans car/24112008482.jpg New alloy IC pipe made from scratch from turbo to intercooler http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/deans car/24112008484.jpg Much neater than it was. You'll also notice plenty of heat shielding round the back of the turbo protecting the master cylinders from the heat. I'll post another pic up as soon as its completely finished off. http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/images/stories/gw_images/forum pics/deans car/24112008486.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
