So,
Some updates
Slam panel, Rad and intercooler fitted.
Intercooler needs new brackets to stop it rocking left and right, and the rad needs some brackets welding onto the slam panel/radiator panel ect.. to strengthen it up more and stop it moving around as the turbo is so close to the radiator i cant afford much movement.
Will need a new silicone hose, thats about as far across the rad as i can afford to move the radiator to, so will have to get a custom hose made to match the bay.
Popped bumper on to see how everything fit, had to take off the grill from behind but as long as i dont have to chop out the middle bar im a happy bunny
Intercooler clearance
If you can make this out, its the lower rad panel or what it used to be spot welded to before i cut it off, it seems i may have to trim that down to allow for the boost pipe to come through there, not 100% how ill be routing that one just yet but both will take little work to fit.
Passenger side intercooler take off - Simply just have a straight hose coming out of that 180 degree hose and half way to line up with the turbo and then into the bottom avoiding the downpipe
Radiator hose needs a little bend joiner, not to worry
Fitted the clutch cable arm
Noticed my be4 markings
Rad/Turbo touching, needs moving about 4mm out at the bottom to create clearance
Boost hoses touching the bumper, will have to trim a little off when i get my actual bumper off
Easy clearance on the other side, making me think it could just be moved a little to the right to allow for clearance on the other side(above)
Fuel swirl pot arrived from OBP, not a bad product especially for £50, will be mounted in the boot
and with the catch tank
Bay with the filter just kinda in there, hope to get the air filter as close as possible to the back of the headlights, i dont think ill be running morettes but plans may change if some pop up cheap
Over the next few days i hope to make up some brackets ready to have them welded on and start trimming off stuff and cutting down my own slam panel to match this one, leaving a little bit more metal on and welding up some brackets on that.
Starting to look a LOT more like a car
