I think you owe it to yourself to drive this thing boosted Canny give up yet man. Evos are pretty awesome though.

Aww man

The spline on the input shaft is the same pattern as the clutch so thats not the issue, i had the box connected because when i turned the crank with the box in gear it was all moving, i just couldnt get the fucker in a few more cm to stick a bolt in haha. Yeah i know its a different engine to a GT but i've been told by Enzo that these Gen1 FE engines can handle boost very well. Hes had a few apart and it uses GT rods etc. I found it uses the 212mm clutch. Its already got the same inlet as a GT. I actually have a set of FTE pistons here, if i put them in, it would pretty much be an FTE. Im not convinced on the valve springs, these had a high rev limit standard.

Well putting this box back in is proving to be a fucking mission :/ Ive done literally hundreds of boxes being a mechanic but this one doesnt want to go back home haha. So tomorrow im hopefully getting a shot of an engine crane, gonna whip out the engine, bolt the box to it when its out and then fire it back in :)Well thats the plan anyway.

It can only really work in person tbh, done it a few times now

Duno about the OP but i need it to relocate the filter becausr my top mount mani wont clear the standard FE filter placement. Other option is to get a sandwich plate and a filter relocator, easy done. Im also turbo'ing a N/a engine, seems all the FTE's are fucked, or the good ones are hard got.

I use parcel2go for a lot of things.

Will the centre bolt not just hold it ?

I love the angle on these systems, its almost as rude as the R*SR backbox.

Sorry, forgot sarcasm is not allowed. In all seriousness i live very near to Knockhill racetrack and used to get on there all the time with my old civics, one of which was the loudest fucking thing ever. Louder than most side exits i've heard.

Track noise limits are gay, thats why i do my racing on the streets...

Sound, will do Anyone bought a safehouse yet ? Cheapest one i can see is 25K.

That was awesome Matt haha. Went to the fort zfghhyuj, shot the army, got a mental 3-4 star chase, he was getaway driver in an army jeep and i was shooter two copters at once. I need to start doing jobs, no cash Also how and where can you get helicopters ? Sometimes see folk flying about in them.

Whos up for an online PS3 session tonight then ?

Should try it and see Think it was starbo moorly who had one like that on his GT, looked so slutty haha, im copying it lol. Anyway aye straight fit mate

Yeah they are just soley for the ABS, i've got a few sitting here. They do have connectors similar to the engine ECU but white not grey.

Yeah mate straight swap. MK2 ones look better i think, but only with that panel thing removed, the indent looks cool haha. And the wee reflector bits on a MK3 look odd

I've not had a lot of time to work on this as usual but i've done a few things and bought a couple of parts Got the gearbox off. Took the 85 dash out and got a replacement GT dash with loom, fired that in. Got a set of MK3 rear lights fitted, also filled the rear with shite as per haha. Got a oil return fitting welded in my 85 sump, pretty tidy job tbh. And lastly i got a turbo, its called a VF12, its ment to be similar to a TD04 but with a slightly larger exhaust housing i believe ?? Anyway i'll throw it on and see how it is, if its shite i'll get something else It was cheap enough for a punt. I also bought up an EWG but its in the post so no pics yet. Thats it for now, thanks for having a look, cant bloody wait to feel boost again, especially in this thing !!

Haha that was quick, no worries

I'll take the Silver sytec fuel pressure regulator Lew

We're awaiting pics of lots of your starlets, eg. diesel GT Get your finger out Conor haha.

Pics please

Alrighty, i'm needing an FTE oil filter housing and the big centre bolt that goes through into the block. Also a brand new gasket if anyone has a spare. Thanks, Dan.

Shame its a shop lol ^^ N/a EP8* look awesome when done right

Yeah same here, PS3, both story & online no issues. Cant seem to really enjoy the online though, need a while to get into it and get more guns etc. Also i was expecting online to be absolute chaos on the map with like 100 people all flying jets at each other, but theres about 6 people just driving around, bit boring
