Looks good matey!

[vtr91]

its getting there, just need to put my other rear axle on when i get round to fitting the polybushes and lower the rear to match the front.

[vtr91]

So a few more bits arrived this week, and have been assembled, however, the wastegate actuator will foul the gearbox when its fitted, is there a way of relocating the actuator at all? Will it work if i fabricate a new bracket and extend the actuator rod to move it further back so it clears the gearbox?

just wondering as wanting a set myself

Looks nice! Gonna keep an eye on this as i want to do it to my ice grey one in the future!

[vtr91]

thankyou

just got to do a bit more searching as to what i need to do and hopefully i wont be too far away from completion.

After a busy weekend, i finally got round to fitting my rear axle, i polybushed it whilst i was at it and its had a nice little drop.
I also picked up a raceland 4-1 manifold cheap and fitted that too

[vtr91]

First question-
On the oil drain to the return in the sump, it looks like i will have a little flat spot, will this cause the flow to stop or cause me any problems? i know ideally there doesnt want to be a flat spot, but due to the location of the drain it looks like one may occur.


Question 2-
there are 4 13mm bolts holding on a clamp, if im able to free these, am i able to rotate the turbo without causing problems?


question 3-
those top 2 banjo unions, are they for a water feed in+out? i have another under the garrett plaque wich i assume might be oil? and does anyone know how i can contact swampy as i need some hoses made up for these



Thankyou

[vtr91]

no one?

Ignore the previous posts, need to find another turbo.

Engine has come along nicely now,

To get list-
Turbo
Feeds and return pipes made for the turbo
Wideband lambda

Trs driveshafts (if anyone knows where i can get some)
clutch
wheel spacers for brakes
Fit brembos
cooling fan
gauges and holders

possibly a new Gearbox, tight going into first crunches reverse and occasionaly 3rd and has alot of play in the selector.

not too much to go, ECU should be here in the coming weeks fingers crossed

Also edited spec on page 1 in my first post
