d-_-b Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 If i can get it up with some of the best i will be a very happy man. well, off the top of my head 1) turbo, down pipe and midpipe, oils lines and gaskets 2) new exhaust system 3) ecu- standalone- what ever ryan g suggests 4) injectors 5) srd radiator 6) srd intercooler 7) electric fan kit?? 8) all gauges ect for inside 9) gearbox coolers x2 i know there is lots and lots to still buy and do, but thats the fun of it. Once i have done as much as i can and got the engine in, i have a trailer to get it to SRD for him to give it a once over and sort most of the wiring jobs and that out. A nice list of goodies there Know what you mean about the fun part whilst doing it. If everything was done at once, wouldn't have anything to look forward to working on / do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep saving for the next bit then the next bit ha ha. Nearly got enough to order turbo and rest of the kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can imagine there is the temptation to go and buy the parts and pay later but nice works on keeping at it from your original approach. Looking forward to seeing the very shiny be added to the mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ugp Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 That engine's something different! Need the sunglasses. Are you going to be scared to drive it in fear of it getting dirty though, or do you have some secret to stopping all the crap sticking to the shiney bits?

Rob_Mitchell Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Need to chrome that exhaust Im not going to ruine a thing of beauty, the manifolds are sexy how they are. That engine's something different! Need the sunglasses. Are you going to be scared to drive it in fear of it getting dirty though, or do you have some secret to stopping all the crap sticking to the shiney bits? ha ha thanks mate.

Rob_Mitchell Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Not much of a update but what a mission tightening up the nuts on the exhaust manifold, cut knuckles, no room to move, even my moustache got injured anyway all secure now and just as i finished a parcel of chrome parts arrived to cheer me up.
