Miguel Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Might be worth getting them flowed and cleaned if they have sat around for a while though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Not much happened with the car over the last couple of weeks really. I seem to be working on everyone elses car to raise funds for my own. But the lack of attention is over now and off we go. Firstly, Ive got myself another sandwich plate for the Defi oil pressure and temp sensors. This is located below the thermostatically controlled sandwich plate which supplies the oil cooler with oil. And heres the best bit. The Turbo arrived today and its bloody HUUUUUGE. Check these pics out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With turbo blacket. http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa74/hodge_012/022-7.jpg[/iM]</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> [img]http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa74/hodge_012/023-7.jpg Im gona polish the turbo housing on saturday night.

Miguel Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 it's a journal bearing mate. Oil cooled unit. That explains why I couldn't see the ports then. For some reason I thought you was going for the R (DBB). Anyway, looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
