Update Ok, mocked up the sensors and bungs for the oil filter relocator kit; i need a 1/8 npt bung and an o-ring to complete the kit. hopefully wont be hard to source either of those. I have also torn the dash apart and labelled up all the temp / vacuum / pressure gauge wiring ready for someone handier than me to do the necessary joining / splicing / soldering blah blah blah. I have also run the oil pressure sensor wiring through the bullk head and into the bay in advance to fitting the oil filter kit. Thought I was missing the connector for the oil temperature kit, just turns out it was way up behind the dash as the wiring is short as f**k. Clearly Apexi expected the gauge to be 30cm from the sensor. so some lengthening of wiring required there. Progress. Phil.

what i meant by that was that currently alot of them are behind the centre console area, meaning they gotta get trailed out of there towards a suitable bung in the firewall. not sure if the speedo is going to have to come out or not. which is a prick to reconnect the cable on. Phil.

in all ym years watching for one of these, I only know the wherabouts of one, and the only other one i've seen was on the auctions maybe 6 or 7 years back. IMO one of the rarest EP91 options. Phil.

@ Rob - i meant to ask, how did u know that the blanks are 1/8npt? Seriously, for the life of me I have no idea how you know that. @ Chris - thats a very kind offer dude thanks! I may take you up on that, we can talk about it closer to the time sure. I'll try and run the sensor wires in the mean time if its not too cold in the garage, but i suspect I'm going to have to pull half the dash apart for this task. Phil.

same as the EP82 ones, double sided tape. Phil.

Update Adapter received, and she fits like a dream. Also winning, is the fact that the pressure sensor fits in the sensor port right beside the temperature sensor. Gonna mock up all the sensors and bungs at the weekend and see if everythings accounted for or if we need any 1/8npt blanks. Then I'll be able to run the sensor wiring through the bulk head to the bay, leaving just the power/illumination wiring to arrange. Fitment of relocation kit will likely occur when Project BadgerSports pays her next visit to The Costa, which is Jay's wedding present to me lol; some time tucked up safely in The Costa's finest EP Retreat for some oily investigations. Oh, and a CV boot repair lol, as usual. Big thanks once again to Rob Bower. Wouldnt have figured it out without him, still dont know how he did it if i'm honest. Phil.

sounds very promising bud! Phil.

looks great dude! Phil.

nah, posh style, innit. Phil.

thanks for taking the time to read it all dude! really appreciate that! if it provided some entertainment then happy days! its been a labor of love and hatred, mainly poor Jay and my Mrs hating it though lol! Phil.

running ~200bhp and i've beat(en) myself (off) in my Starlet. Phil.

utterly shocking this hasn't been picked up. back in the day these things NEVER came up for sale, and when they did they sold in no time. this looks in as a good condition as mine and I paid more than this for it. i even downloaded a PDF copy so i wouldnt damage my paper one. utterly utterly shocking. where have all the die hards gone! Phil.

adapter ordered. yeah baby. Phil.

Thanks to the efforts of Mr Bower, and the assistance of a Scooby owning friend of mine, we have now identified the thread size of the Apexi oil temperature sensor. That awkward badboy is M12 x 1.25, same as a Scooby wheel nut. So, i need me one of these and some plumbers tape: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sytec-Alloy-Male-Female-Fuel-Union-Fitting-1-4-NPT-M12x1-25-ASA07-/290919140697?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43bc21cd59 then all we need is a rubber washer (Halfords or similar will suffice) and we are good to fit the oil filter relocation kit and install the oil pressure and temperature sensors. Monster thanks to Rob for his determination to resolve this debacle! Zero thanks to SiCaln for letting me buy this infernal kit off him in the first place, leading to me being baffled for the last two years!!! :p Phil.

page 2!!!! go on the EPs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/11/sunday-sessions-downshift-circuit-and-coffee/#chapter-in-the-thick-of-it Phil.

yes, seen one not so long ago, I want to say Marc (Starbuck) has/had it????????????? Phil.

dunno how i've missed this before! its awesome!!!! really liking what you've done with this so far dude and looking forward to seeing it dropped! Phil.

i would have, but they're a bit dear for some sexy pics. Phil.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Phil.

headlight covers are for winners. Fact. Phil.

apologies, only seeing this now this morning. its true, i love my K1. And sickeningly, I happened upon it purely by chance as AlanE wasn't using it anymore. mine is running 0.95 bar. Passengers thus far have been Jaystarr77, my bro Pandamonium, Joel, and my mate Foggy and I'm pretty sure they were all impressed. Its not the most powerful of turbos, it wont give the same figures as a TD04, but its the way it delivers it that puts a massive smile on your face. Its just immediate and strong. i have toyed with the idea of sending it to Keirz and Liam a few times to have her rebuilt, she has a few cracks internally but it hasnt impacted upon the performance one bit, as proven by the fact Alan used to drag it to great effect and the cracks never worsened. Phil.

that looks uber smart! like that alot! Phil.

my beady eye spies an Apexi EL1 series gauge beside the driver's A-pillar. Most likely boost, 60mm. Phil.

nice collection of parts dude! Phil.

i like seeing all this positive feedback for Liam and his bro, but it keeps putting me in mind about sending them the K1 for a refresh sometime after the wedding! Phil.
