T14PPA Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 hows this coming along mate? Ive been waiting on parts which most have finally arrived. Turbo feed and drain pipes had wrong flanges so needed them. Also just got my fuel pressure regulator adapter. Im just putting things back together now and realising little parts i need so i have to order them. If all goes well on monday i should have inlet side done and turbo on its taking time as 2 jobs and a mrs aint the easiest to get around to working on my car ill get more pictures up monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T14PPA Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Finally could carry on with the turbo side. So i fitted the oil feed and oil drain pipes which i will need to play about with as the transmission pipes get in the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14PPA Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 I wanted to see how everything fits so i put the whole turbo side on today. First i heat wrapped the manifold. Before: After: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 That fills the space nicely Are you aiming for a specific HP figure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14PPA Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 That fills the space nicely Are you aiming for a specific HP figure? It fits great, just a bit tight with screamer pipe, wastegate, and downpipe all in that small gap. Ideally id want 600bhp. Would be happy with anything over 550 though. Only problem is gearbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14PPA Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 My gearbox coolers arrived from srd. Thanks to lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14PPA Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 I completed the inlet side of the engine and decided to hear it start up. It didnt start up very easy. I believe theres a fuel issue. I need to find the problem tomorrow. Have a feeling its the rubbish fuel pressure regulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14PPA Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Ill try upload the video later as my phone doesnt allow me. The turbo gives a nice pop of flame out the back at 3000 revs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
