    Cheers boys! I'll have to bring it over MK one Sunday then Dan.

    Thanks mate

    It wasn't too hard just time consuming. There's some pics in this thread a few pages back - it's under the dash passenger side. You won't get it where I have mine if you still have a heater matrix tho. Got my fuel leak issue sorted today however I went to turn her over again today and it's not playing ball. Under further inspection there looks to be a previous fuse bodge from a previous owner so I'm hoping this is the issue.. Will update with how I get on..

    What would you like to know? It was quite hard to document mind. Its abit of a pain in the arse. Its not a full tuck, you can still see bits round the fuel rail. It was never done to be a wire tuck just to move the fusebox to clean up the bay. Any questions though fire them at me - more than happy to help. Yes it'll get used. Well its being built to be tracked, not a lot else. Wont really drive it on the road as i have a nice daily. Will bring it to some shows tho.

    Thanks! Ha indeed. I still want an Evo 8/9 though. Not quite enough room on the drive for 3 cars!

    Dunno why anyone in their right mind would buy a fake harness. Must be off ya nut. Don't skip when it comes to safety devices.

    Cable was from an online trader. Ill have to look it up! Thanks Broony, yes always loved HRF, used to have one of their old kits / intercoolers. Did a similar gold on one of my brothers GT's Fuel pump hanger is out and being sorted tomorrow all being well. Anyways some more pics below. Love how minimalistic the bay is looking.

    I've used two as I moved the fusebox too. So that's the main live for that. Yea Colchester isn't too far. I'm not gonna use it much in this weather tho!

    Got loads more pics to upload to give you all an update. Some good news some worse news, Spent all day on the car today to get it to a point where I could start it. Modified all the boost pipes for the new turbo, fitted the rest of the IC piping, made the oil feed, Finished off pluming in the rad and all the water hoses etc. Started to fill her up with water, issue one - leaking from the thermo housing. All sorted with a nip up and a small bead of sealant. I think it's something to do with the non gen thermostat seal size. It was only temporary to get it running so will order a genuine item.

    Nice progress
  12. RobSR
    My offer is still there. should hopefully start it tomoz!

    No idea... What ever it needs to make 240 bhp. I'd imagine just under a bar as it won't be in its efficiency range.

    Appreciate the kind words all! Good progress this morning. Finished the battery live and fusebox live. Everything working so far..All dash is correct, ignition comes on etc etc. Just can't turn it over just yet as i need to tweak the turbo oil feed. Was a tiny bit of wiring left to do in the engine bay which has also been done.

    Yes SVA's car throw a rod i believe and like mentioned Andys scoob shat a box out. Lots of people had issues though, Under Suzuki popped an engine also. Id imagine everyone wasn't prepared for the extreme heat out there. Hope they'll be back next year with better reliability!

    Some quick pics of the setup mounted up. IMG_2428 by Rob Fisher, on Flickr IMG_2429 by Rob Fisher, on Flickr IMG_2430 by Rob Fisher, on Flickr IMG_2435 by Rob Fisher, on Flickr

    For the few that have me on Facebook you'll know I've now bolted up the turbo kit up. All fits nicely this time! Just need to tweak the oil feed as its a little tight round the filter housing for the fittings I have at the moment. Shall update here with some pics later
  18. RobSR
    Cheers guys. I can start her when I bolt the turbo kit on and finish the battery wiring. Just gotta put in the fuse and extend the wire from the fusebox. Could get it running this weekend but we'll see. Don't really need to rush anymore but when it's started there will be a vid In here Haha I'm glad someone did! Look forward to seeing it on yours mate

    New manifold arrived today! Thanks again to WEPR. Looks amazing. Now to get it running....
  20. RobSR
    Most p&p's go to 8200 like mentioned. What rod/bolt combo you running bussey?
  21. RobSR
    On the standard lump I'll throw an emanage in it and get TD/RDT to do it. When it's forged with a standalone I've got my own mapper down here I use.
  22. RobSR
    There's a couple of people north of 8.5k on a standard pump. Can't see why it would be an issue. The thing that puts most people off is the 5/16 bolts most rods use rather than a select few using 3/8.
  23. RobSR
    Oh it's gonna be a lag monster, the precision is a stop gap to get it up and running. The turbo in the pic is standard 4-bolt with a v-band welded on so I'll have abit more clearance. I'm contemplating welding a v-band onto mine too.
  24. RobSR
    4es are fine to 9k if you have the right rod bolts and springs. What's he had issues with?
  25. RobSR
    Thanks. Figures won't be crazy straight away as its on a standard engine. Didn't want to risk the first start on a new forged engine with a new fuel setup and different wiring ! Will be mapped to the limits of a standard engine then I'll build a forged lump over winter.
