turbo Grant Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 It's starting to look like a working engine. I don't recon I'll have it running for a month or two yet. Still got a few bits to get and loads of bits to make. Doesn't bother me as much now when it's going to be finished. Good things come to those who wait. Got a secret bit in the post today that even shorty doesn't no about just waiting for my new toy to turn up now. Then I can crack on and get shorty goat on the move some more Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 I cracked the block in a couple of places halved to size of my piston and mad mince meat of my con rod on my old GT's engine. Was doing a 5th gear pull with the wrong ignition stuff on. So this time I'm going to take it nice and steady, ease it in Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) But of an update. Poped up the road to see jayep91 picked up a disc conversion for the paseo and GT20 manifold As you can see the waste gate sticks out quite far do I had to move my intercooler forwards a bit more. I'm using a short tall cooler so I can keep my pipe work as short as possible. Saves me going round the out side, round the outsideReally not much left to do on the car now. Finish plumbing my fuel system up. Bit more wiring to do inside. The engine bay is all wired up tho. Bit annoying you can't turn the injectors round the other way on the TD fuel rail. I had to run my wires neatly along the top Edited October 1, 2012 by turbo Grant Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Small update. Whilst I was at jayep91's the other day I grabbed his horn off the V after cleaning all the crap off it it looked like this Just need to bolt it on and hook it up. I've adjusted my gear leaver because it wasn't in the right position for meMounted the avcr in a custom bracket in the dash so it just clips in. Few other bits been done. Will get some more pics once I've tied a few loose ends up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
