Cleeves ep70 turbo build

[Stu]

Have you got the throttle body air and water lines around the right way?  They usually run rough as shit if they are wrong.

[Ep71T]

They would turn the oil creamy alright ! 

They are easy to mix and cheaper to fix than a head gasket . 

[thomas cleeves]

Check all pipes all fine 

took the engine out last week and stripped it down head gasket is gone gutted as I bought it as a fresh rebuild guess that’s the chance you take buying second hand parts off people there not always in the condition you are told they are in 

[thomas cleeves]

Bought a new engine should be with me by Wednesday so can start getting it ready to go in the ep70 fingers crossed this time 

[SKINY]

Surely a head gasket would have been cheaper ??

[thomas cleeves]

Haha yes definitely want this engine just for this summer well I have the other one  forged 

but sadly having problems with the guy I bought this engine off think he has done me other made payment for engine and delivery not he has blocked me 

[SKINY]

Ah FFS bud hope you get it sorted, cunts everywhere, I got scammed for a fucked waste gate last year

[thomas cleeves]

Little update 

so after being scammed by someone losing money and never see the engine I bought I moved on had the head gasket done back in and up and running witch is great news couple little things to do then off for a mot 

[thomas cleeves]

Finally cut the exhaust back looks 100% better. But I do really Need to sort the front splitter out haha 

[Kieran Barber]

looks great man, I do feel that sometimes the ep70's are either overshadowed by the 82's and 91's, or the KP starlets

[thomas cleeves]

Thanks buddy. Yes definitely just can’t wait to get it on the road now 

[thomas cleeves]

A good wash front plate back on and it’s ready for first mot in 4 year soon be back on the road buzzing 

[Pikey009]

lovely build mate keep us posted with updates

 

[thomas cleeves]

Things have still been going low on the build with not having much time but we are still getting there with a Cusco panhard and a visit to AST suspension to get the coilovers probably set up 

[thomas cleeves]

It’s been a good but stressful day but patience has finally payed off she now has a mot can’t wait to start driving her and get her to a couple shows next year haha Christmas has come early
