and had pirtek in at work and they made me a nice stailnless braided oil hose

[sam]

[Bananalad]

Lovely car, Does the power flex engine mount and strut brace make much difference?

[ash23]

Like dude nice work what's next for it?

[ash23]

cheers matey and yes both i would really recomend mate especially one of phillipm's lower braces

[ash23]

i nipped to the scrappers this morning a got this little lot for a fiver thats injector lines, 4 injectors inlet pipe and a lda pin bargin!!!

the whole bosch st up has now cost me £45 ::yay:



also cleaned the oil pump as it was horrid cant belive how clean it is

[declantg]

f*ck me your scrappys are cheap!

[padge]

How much to do me a 2.5" system then mate?

[Ruan]

Just a quick question...

Have you checked whether that turbo will fit behind - by the looks of things, that won't fit, it's too low and too far back :/



I had to smash in the bulkhead to make that fit....

in one word NO but anto? used the ko3 mani and it all fitted nicely although mine is hanging 15mm lower than his so i may have to take a hammer to the bulk head ill get a pik with the head sat on the block with the turbo atatched see what you think

[mark_airey]

I know that mine just touches the bulkhead cross member but that's on a K14/T2 manifold and doesn't have a wastegate actuator attached as there was no way it was going in with it fitted!

I'm also aware that anto got his to fit with the actuator on using the other manifold so you might be alright if your doing same as him

[ash23]

some piks with the td04 and a t2 to compare

TDO4l




T2




sorry for the crap piks lol

and mark i will be running the actuator as well

[declantg]

I want your fmic.

[ash23]

you can buy the actual ic in a month or two when i get a big one

[Ruan]

Sadly I think you'll have steering column joint fouling issues there... It's quite low and far back, I was really close to the steering column with that turbo and it doesn't hang down as low as that... I had to shave stuff off the back of my compressor housing and smash the bulkhead in...

Give it a go and surprise me though, but I think you might have issues, when I saw that the first thing I said was "No chance that'll fit..." from first impressions...

[ash23]

i did tink it would hit the steering joint but ill have to try it before ill know and if it dose then is a good excuse to mae a mani to the top of the gearbox

[padge]

As soon as i saw the pic on the other forum, first thought was, no chance! but, crack on lol

[ash23]

As soon as i saw the pic on the other forum, first thought was, no chance! but, crack on lol

i did think it may have some issues with the thickness of the plate i used but couldnt tell for sure out of the engine bay so you and ruan are right lol ive been talkin to anto whos done the same as im gona do just need to make a 10mm adapter rather than 20mm and all wil be ok lolor i might just make a mani to bring the turbo over the box but this is all new to me so its all a learning curve :geek: although i do thank ruan for bringing it up for me to look in to it deeper :thumbup:

[ash23]

made the new plate

[padge]

much better lol.

[ash23]

much better lol.
