The Racetractor. The End.

[Piggy]

Duno poodle. they were a bit dry. But there we go. Never done stainless before and never done a manifold. So steep learning curve.


Well i am knackered.

Today: cut my manifold in half and started again on one section. Went to mickeys early and got welding again. WOW, gas is gooood.
They came to fit it. Fitted it. Then had to remove the coolant piping and cut and splice and adjust, all custom.
Then had to move the oil drain.
Then had to cut up my downpipe and add 20mm and a bit of angle.
Then tested my EGT probe and gauge. Faulty gauge. So fitted new gauge.
Fitted EGT probe to new manifold.
Plumbed in a brake line to the manifold for a EMP gauge, hole in bulkhead, line now needs connecting inside the car.
Then built the rest of the exhaust up. Thats now finished too. Nice 2.5", straight through with a powerflow outwardly rolled tip
Also redid the support brackets on the turbo.
Fitted freshly painted vaccuum pump and dipstick holder/oil breather cylinder along with nice new breather piping and O rings!
removed leaky o/s driveshaft seal and fitted new one, refitted shaft and refilled gearbox.
Hot side of turbo fitted, new gaskets, exhaust all bolted up!

So tomorrow its the turbo to built up, it arrived today all balanced with a balance report sheet n everything! So the vanes need fitting and shiny cold side fitting. then plumbing in.
Hope to get the aux setup back on and oil cooler fitted too be nice.
Got two big days of work and Ruan is over friday eve for tuning, so it needs to be done.


Anyway. Sorry no pics, too tired, need shower and a brew and bed.

night.

Gotta be worth above scrap surely [WINKING FACE]

Jokes aside gotta be worth a bit to sell as whole.

I would be surprised if someone is willing to pay what its worth to me/worth in parts.


I expect it will come off the road and get stripped for donor parts to live on in other 306s.
