Jellybean Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Stunning fab work by Tim! Any change you can make a kit , probably needs to be turbo and Manifold specific Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Probably easier for mapping too I'd imagine? Depends if the mapper needs to get to them or not? Shawn, not sure if you are using rubber or silicone vac lines but Greg prefers silicone, he changed mine to silicone. If I was choosing I'd get the 1 ply ones from ebay rather than standard silicone ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleshead Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Bit of advice I learned the hard way! Make sure that thrust cone washer is the right way round. It centers the hub and stops vibration through the plates which can stop them releasing.... drove me mad once! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraP-Z Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Awesome thread, and amazing build man. Similar to what i did to mine but on a bigger scale and much more detail! I think all the car needs is a nice custom rear diffuser to finish it off. Did you use the same guy for the bodywork the first time round? For some reason this time round it seems to sit much better in my eyes. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all the car needs is a nice custom rear diffuser to finish it off. Thankyou mate yeah a rear diffuser has been on my mind for a while now but I keep going to and from the idea, will definitely consider it again after im finished with the current plans Did you use the same guy for the bodywork the first time round? For some reason this time round it seems to sit much better in my eyes. Love it! Yes mate I used Paul at Scuffed N Curbed both times, yeah I totally agree there were bits that were learned from the first time that we put into practise this time, just things like the fuel cap mod and a few different fixing ideas that seemed to have worked well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Another photo update although I did realise after I was actually quite rubbish with taking photo’s this weekend there is a few bits I done where I forgot to take any (was to in the zone) Firstly delivery of a new Greddy clear cam cover and also a new bonnet vent seal (courtesy of Keron so thanks Keron)… Just incase you are thinking that the seal is incredibly see through that is only a pic of the bag after for part numbers of anyone interested as I forgot to take the photo first Then came the installation of the seal… Then went out to the garage and as always got to take a nice pic before doing anything Put the new Greddy cam cover on and also temporarily removed the cardboard from the front of the intercooler for nice pics… Then emphasis was on fuelling so put up the -6 return line… I also put up the twin -8 feed lines too but this was one of the things I forgot to take photo’s of Thought id warm myself up after that and went inside to put together the 3 walbro 485 pumps in my nice new PHR triple pump hanger… Took that back out to the car and into the fuel tank with coupling up the lines… Last thing was that I had always been told I wouldn’t be able to fit my strut brace with this turbo so I thought I would trial fit it to see if it was close and although its got to go the thickness of the nut lower (its just placed ontop of the nuts on the struts) its still got plenty of clearance so will be able to use it Next weekend should see a big improvement as I have someone coming out on Saturday to do all the remaining fabrication work so will be on the home stretch after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnPreece Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Not a big update this weekend unfortunately as the place I needed to go to for the last of the fuel line fittings was closed due to the snow and the guy coming up to fabricate my intercooler pipes couldn't get up either (even though I offered to go pick him up) so has put a bit of a blow to the timescale but hoping I will still be fine What we did manage though was to put the starter motor, power steering pump, air con, fan & radiator back in aswell as coupling a few more bits on the loom and trial my new intake pipe with air filter for size, here's the only piccys I got...
