nazzurro19 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 today i sorted the problem out about the sandwich plate the answer = get a 3/8unf from a scooby as there longer lol cost me £5 instead of £30 for a plate - made me happy until well alot of progress was made as was 2 big mistakes which made me cry first was this defi oil temp sensor brokey (£90 to replace)then the second problem , the downpipe from WepR is 2 inches too short , offset and the flanges are around 90 degrees off eachother so even if it was long enough it wouldnt line up , i think hes sent me the downpipe to his own exhaust , even though he told me it would fit any aftermarket exhaust ,so if he doesnt sort this the cars off the road for a monthwell on for the build anyway so today we was planning on rotating the turbo and getting everything bolted up etc , ready for 2moz to wire everything up and vrooom id be td04 well tried rotating the turbo *ping* circlip snaps , so off to halfrauds and oick up a pair for £9.99 too small , then off to machine mart cheapest pair to fit £31.99 pfft no way so off back to the car , get a grinder and mince the broken pair , eventually we got the exhaust housing off and the pins etc removed , only took 100 hits with a rubber hammer lol so then we put it all back together and spun the blades " sheite not moving" so had to pull it all apart again n make sure it went on 100% straight , got it all sorted in the end and i was a happy manso then we spent hours bolting all the manifold on , the downpipe, all the oil lines the return , etc the wastegate screamer and everything was going well til we noticed the exhaust wasnt going to fit ( at this point my heart sank and deep inside i was crying ... lol )so then we decided to do as much as we can with the bolt on parts ;) tomorrows plan to have everything wired in and ready , wrap the exhaust and then wait for a downpipe to fit , its either sacha sends me one as its his mistake or he gives me a refund so i can take it to get custom made also has anyone else had probles with wepr kits , due to the kit being offset and the sandwich plate my airfilter and oil filter now touch , i just hope it wont get hot enough to burn the siliconealso anyone with a GIZZMO MS-IBC how do you wire the button in on the instructions it says red to 12v blue to trigger ? WTF? and black to earth , so does that literally mean blue wire to one terminal on the switch and thats it ?well anyway pics of everything from todaythe short pipe which is pretty shortturbo rotated and ready for fitting how the bay currently looksspares for sale lolscreamer Yomushroom filter slight bodge of an oil returnoil filter , mashing up my air filter one of everything in the bay so farand lastly the touched up bumper im happy so far bar the sensor and the fucking downpipe <--- but somethings always gotta go wrong but i totally can see why sparky felt like braking his car , keep an eye out for a gauging thread if this dont get any better soon Link to post Share on other sites

N80Jamie Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Glad to see it's all going to be sorted soon enough! by the way, would you be able to give me links to where you got all the stuff needed to fit the oil sandwich plate and the plate itself? I really need to get one on mine! lol Link to post Share on other sites
nazzurro19 Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 i just went on ebay and one a plate for £3 then went to my local garage and asked if they did the m20 i believe was the one i used or a 3/4 unf in a longer version and he said yeah and it was £5 its all going ahead stil , but ! i just hope theres no leaks etc Link to post Share on other sites
nazzurro19 Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 right so a progress on todays result , so after being in talks with the local exhaust fabricators there hoping to fit me in on friday and keeping the costs aslow as possible -£100 hopefully well anyway so this morning we had to modify the lamba sensor as it was like an inch too short , althought the sensor looks pretty fooked , we put it on a DMM and it gave a contuniuity measurment so it should work fine then we set about fitting up the rad , which then fouled on the wastegate ... another problem , so to fix this we had to move it along , drill a new hole , nut and bolt it in and then the colling panel hole was now covered by the jezza bracket so we cut a lil groove out and now it all fits together we also vaccumed in all the hoses from the turbo , inlet to the wastegate , solenoid and gizzmo, we also fed all the cables through the firewall and into the car ready for soldering and wiring in , got defis the link controller the boost controller , and just generally having a shuffle around in the centre console to make it all look SWEEEEEEEETim going to get a 3 gauge din holder as a cheap tempory thing as there a tenner and will hold the gauges nicely so then after doing all that and the vacums etc decided to go about fitting the intercooler back on , everything was going sweet til we got to the td04 , now the rubber bits i have are 63mm at each end and really to make it a nice and tight boost free leaking connection i really need it to be around the 55mm to 63mm but ill try source one of them locally all the vacs etc fittedwe have decided to leave the "trigger" button out as we cant figure out how to wire it up , according to the instructions red goes to +pos black to -neg and blue to trigger , but that means the switch only has one wire going to it and doesnt do anything so... it would of looked cool but oh wellmore bits ready for the wiring and lastly the thing that means i spit , pop and bang ... ( no not my engine blowing up )so that means i have the mani wrapped , downpipe wrapped , full zorst wrapped whey and a screamer lolanyway thats the big up date but... i now have a few things for sale so check em out and im after a few things also to complete the build i need: a rubber reducer 63mm - 55mm3" exhaust gasketmikalor clamp to suit rubber3 pod gauge holderthe exhaust fabricated and some petrol Link to post Share on other sites
nazzurro19 Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 also this is porbably the reason why my exhaust doesnt fit the td04 kitthis was on the ct9 and looks like its been cut extended andgled and reweldedoh well just looking forward to friday Link to post Share on other sites
