RobSheffield Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 Not quite. Needs cams fitting, new brakes, clutch then mapping. Ironically the 'hard part' is over. Since i didnt go out and buy a kit and bolt it on its taken AGES to source all the little bits. Iv saved a fortune but its taken time to find and source parts that are good enough. These last jobs wont take too long once the last few parts arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) Its finally finished. Well ish. Needs new clutch and flywheel fitting, MOT and Tax, new Bosch pump fitting Map then its done, but all the install of the turbo and supporting mods is done. New Spec -BL T67 single turbo -Heatwrapped Boostlogic manifold, Tial Wastegate, BL downpipe -Veilside Ti teardrop exhaust -AEM air filter -HKS SSQV BOV -Setrab 10 row oil cooler and braided lines -Fuel kit assembled to mimic PHR stage one kit - -8 into twin -6 braided lines, Aeromotive FPR, Aeromotive fuel filter, Walbro pump 720cc Siemens injectors AEM ecu Greddy 3 row FMIC HKS 264 cams Cam covers, PAS reservoir, Inlet manifold, FMIC pipework, compressor cover and throttle body either hand polished or chromed RLTC digi T/C Heavily customised dash with 5 Defis guages and AEM AFR guage Recaro seats Stripped rear end Relocated Varley Red Top 40 battery Brembo 6 pot monoblock 14" front and 4 pot 13.28" rear brakes Volk TE37 alloys, powdercoated black Toyo R888 tyres all round. All fluids changed, all rubber hoses swapped for new, braided lines in some cases, new nuts, bolts and gaskets where needed to replace worn/corroded original fasteners Its taken me a while, however its not just a simple bolt on turbo kit and hope for the best. I didnt want to be replacing broken parts as i went along, much rather do it all now and enjoy it. I dont deny im likely to have a few hiccups as everyone does, but still Realistically, since i was working on it outside on the drive and not in a warm garage, i dont think iv done too bad. Since June last year i had a new job which meant me working 3 or sometimes 4 weekends a month.
