  1. Didn't get much done this weekend, baby sitting and storm weather prevented that, but when I could I got the following done:


    • Installed both hubs, removed discs and brakes. The brakes needs taking apart and sorting out.

    • Worked out the route im going to go with intercooler pipework.

    • Got my MK2 boot out, gave that a clean up, ready to install my glowpanel on it and fit to my car.

    • Fitted short shifter I bought from someone, but doesnt feel very shot atm :\

    No pictures yet, but it's still coming along nicely for me


  2. Update:



    Shortened the brake servo(?) pipe down, really tidy's up that area

    Removed the carbon canister, relocated the coil pack to where the canister was and bolted the fuel pressure regulator where the coil pack use to be.

    As you can see in the picture above as well, I have removed all the air con bits what use to plug into the manifold, looks much tidier!

    Tidying all the wiring up around by the fuse box. Cut and removed the air con fuse box and you can also see the radiator is mounted in the bottom left:

    Made up bottom brackets for the radiator, holds really well, well chuffed with it:

    Installed drive shafts too, chopped some more wiring back and few other bits. Making decent progress now, can't wait to start her to see what she sounds like!


  3. If the forge spec is good and the milage on the engine is low then 2K isnt a bad deal in my eyes :)

    Race-Tec charge £1895 for there bottom range forge package not inc any little bits that may need changing/ replacing along the way :)

    James

    Yeah but he said buy a new engine and then forge it 2k haha

  4. Hel website allows you to build you own oil feed - result £30

    The oil return you just buy the two bolt push on fitting on eBay

    And two water lines push on banjos again to suit a gt28 off eBay

    Phil

    Oh that HEL custom site is amazing, will build my own when I'm home so I know what length.

    For oil return on the turbo, I already have the adaptor plate thingy on it, so I just need pipe to go on the turbo and then onto the sump, I believe anyway...lol

    God they are expensive, £15 each if you order from a UK supplier :o ?!

  5. Im having similar issues atm dude.

    I just bought some hydraulic hose from ebay for the oil return. Its 1m and 3/4" ID, just cut to size. Its got 2 layers of braiding inside so takes some cutting lol!

    Seems very cheap but its very good quality.

    For the oil feed my original one was from Zisco. Im having to get one custom made so trying a few different places, local hose places etc.

    Also WEPR can defo sort you out :)

    Ooo that hose looks perfect saying that, reckon it can take the hot oil for prolonged periods then?

    Didn't think about WEPR, will drop sacha a PM.

    Cheers!

  6. Right i'm quite over my head now with all this shit, tried reading up as much as I can but need some actual help now.



    I'm gonna be a running a GT2860RS on a topmount setup, I have no water/oil lines with it.



    I believe the thread size is AN4 for oil and water lines, is this correct?


    I have also read about the GT28 requiring a oil restrictor?


    What can I use for oil return?



    I just need to know what to order, I'm so deep and lost at the mo :fool:



    Any help much much appreciated.


  7. Anyone hogging some gauges? Open to anything apart from Boost, but want at least water/oil temp and pressure.



    I don't want some silly rare/super duper £200 a gauge shit.



    What you got for me?


  8. Haven't updated this in a while, been waiting for parts/not had time to work on it etc usual excuses.



    Got the engine and gearbox in a few weeks ago:
