starletezy Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Have never seen this before usualy the turbo clears the housing maybe being at an non standard position might be abit. on my WEPR evolution kit my turbo sits under the manifold standard position away from the housing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it will all fit ok where it should and then refit the AN back on once the turbo is past it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Sounds like a plan looks like the AN fittings are big maybe fitting smaller AN fittings back on might be an option aswell? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_JT_ Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Managed to finally get a lucky break tonight, took the fouling AN off and offered the turbo up and was still catching So then needed to rotate the plate which I couldn't believe after some gentle but persistent pressure it rotated enough to give me the clearance I needed !!!Tight but enough room which is result Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Good stuff mate looks perfect now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_JT_ Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 So after getting the clearance right still had to take the turbo off again and rotate it as the oil return was miles out All sorted and plumbed in now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_JT_ Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) Done a few long runs and all good, no issues.Fitted new Ultra Racing rear strut which has really stiffened the rear end up. Surprised at how noticeable it is...I'm impressed And finally what it's all about...a good evening blast keeping my mates elise in the rear mirror Sort of done now.....MOT next week !

Gainzy Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Sure that rear strut is meant to sit the other way. Nice bay work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_JT_ Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Sure that rear strut is meant to sit the other way. Nice bay workI did think that. But it's miles out when you offer it up Edited June 11, 2016 by _JT_ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

00joeindastarb0 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Yep that sounds about right, had basic mods on it when he got it, but went through a number of tunes, final one being forged 4e hybrid td04 and nos making 353 fly bhp. There is a picture I have of it in my build thread. Ended up being broken I'm afraid I was offered the shell but didn't have the room at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_JT_ Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Oh wow ! Yeah i didn't really know much about them back then so done basic mods. Glad it went big balls lol I'd love to see some pics Quote Link to post Share on other sites
