Bit of an update, here’s the car currently
-
So this is how the car is now , engine is in , gearbox in
Passenger drive shaft all bolted in , have fitted eibach front and rear anti roll bars , the car has powerflex bushes all round with fk coilovers on it.
Everything has been replaced , new hubs . Bearings , track rods and ends , ball joints , wishbones etc etc
Also bought these hefty bastards to help me stop! 334x32 discs with 17Z 6 pot calipers to go with them!
Here's the rear axle that's all bolted back up
Car looking sorry for itself lol

My phone has not been working for about a month so havent been able to post anything but will when my phone is repaired. Right now the engine is in the car and is really coming along, lots of little bits need to be done but will take time, my Eibach anti roll bars were meant to arrive on the 21st after I ordered them 2 months ago but its still being delayed until mid december which is frustrating after it was originally meant to arrive on the 21st of october, I need a few bits of information from people who have done turbo conversions , are the lines on the Throttle body need to be connected to any water lines or can I just cut them for easier fitment with the fan shroud?
-
Anybody whos done a turbo conversion give me any help here?
-
Right , do I need an oil restrictor for my turbo , it looks like I have one built in, do I need a restrictor as well?

Yeah it comes with a filter at the bottom of the sleeve I just took it off for the photo , yeah I'll be very careful of my fuel when it's all up and running
-
Is this any better? Pretty much all I can do plus I think it's the same height my old pump was at
a -
Damn I'll have to edit the housing slightly , because it has a large bit at the bottom of the pump inline the 255 so it sort of wedges itself in there
-
I bought a Walbro 400 inline fuel pump and decided to have a crack at fitting it in place of the standard pump , the only thing is I can only get it to a certain point and the pump won't go further down , any advice on if this will be ok or do I need to find a way to get it to come down more ?
-
Turns out its actually ran out, didnt realise I bought it so long ago lol, time flys when you are having fun with the vr I guess!

Ah right I just thought my messages weren't working because I was speaking to somebody on the forum and then all of a suddenly he didn't reply and I messaged him for months with no reply and he started a post up the other day so I thought maybe my messages were broke haha
-
I meant the Pm messages sorry for confusion but also my membership is acting up haha
-
Hi My account is telling me im not a member and telling me to upgrade even though I am a member, also I messaged someone on here months ago and never got a reply and kept messaging with no avail and I just tried to reply to pete in the membership area and it wont let me so I messaged him but he hasnt replied, either theres a problem with my account or Im being ignored haha!
-
Spoken to Owen developments where I got the turbo and ordering all the flanges and clamps when I get the money
Managed to get the cams in and time it all up too -
And does anyone know where I can get v-bands for both inlet and outlet?
-
-
Right, one thing thats been bugging me for a while is the TiAL housing I have is an inlet V-Band, so obviously I need an adapter for v band to t3 but will there still be enough room in the back of the engine bay?
-
Schimmel cams in , just waiting for my cam lock tool and my cam bolts to arrive and I can time it all up
