where did you trim off the manifold?did the top of the turbo hit on the bottom of the manifold?is your intake pipe going to fit on between the turbo and the engine mount? i had do put a 20mm spacer inbetween the manfold and my turbo and had to grind the f*ck out of my engine mount!!!oh and i have to undo the engine mount bolt and jack the motor up so i can get the turbo and manifold on haha,looks good man,real tidy ---------- Post added 09-10-10 at 10:05 ----------

Id heat wrapped it before trial fitting turbo,then found turbo wouldnt sit in position i needed,so took the heat wrap off again to see what the story was,was hitting on mounting point for factory heat sheild.sorted now. I keep the module i had instead of swapping it,should still do the job needed. ---------- Post added 09-10-10 at 11:03 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by UNONT2 [View Post] where did you trim off the manifold?did the top of the turbo hit on the bottom of the manifold?is your intake pipe going to fit on between the turbo and the engine mount? i had do put a 20mm spacer inbetween the manfold and my turbo and had to grind the f*ck out of my engine mount!!!oh and i have to undo the engine mount bolt and jack the motor up so i can get the turbo and manifold on haha,looks good man,real tidy ---------- Post added 09-10-10 at 10:05 ---------- Danny your turbo is like twice the size of mine,bahaha. only just and i mean JUST hit on the little mount point for factory heat sheild,trim it back and she mounted sweet as,i thought i was guna have to get spacer but nah. Yip the intercooler pipe will fit on intake,think one of pics has it on there. I wouldnt wana start trim back the engine mount,starts getting messy then.you have done nice job of doing so though. And bugger having to go through that to get turbo off. cheers man.

looking good Kelv Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

haha yeah its a tight fit alright

top job kelvin looking mint as. Should go alot be better with the new turbo set up. U getting your diff done? Sending my to stellie gears this week or next all going well.

thanks guys. Yip ill be getting diff diff done at some stage.Guna get Al's Mufflers to weld mine up for power cruise,and once ive got gearbox sorted ill look at getting steelie gears to do me a diff too. Yea should go heaps better with all the bits and pieces ive thrown at it this build. Guna be an interesting sound too,screamer pipe,dose pipe,blow off valve,and exhaust dumped at diff.

well first time ive ever said this,but im so happy to have 3 inchs!! lol looking good for making PC,although they hadnt recieved my entry but luckly they found entry fee that was deposited. Anyway,just the interior to go back in,few bits here n there to tidy up and off for tune on the dyno,fingers crossed.

sounds good man did ya manage to sort out that wiring

good stuff kelv

yip wiring all done,got sparky to do it in the end,was $400 or so

sweet man good to hear you got that sorted. will be interesting to see what it puts out on the dyno

farkin sweet kelvs looks heaps good, if u wana minispool for pc let me know, would be better than filling it with weld.

thanks Matt,taken a bit to get there. Well tonight i proved im a complete muppet,i managed to put the grider through radiator,and id left the little brass washer off the oil feed to turbo,now have 2 litres or so of very expensive oil on the floor.got it fired up for half a minute and she sounds angry as already.

damn bet that pissed ya off hope you get it all sorted man

ha yea man,few spanners were thrown along with my toys!! think scared the missus a bit,first time she seen me angry,ha simple little washer screwed me up big time,its very tight up in there to work around,be ok if had top mount! ill get there though. ---------- Post added 20-10-10 at 22:16 ---------- on another note,anyone want the old exhaust from DOSEIT? its only 2 1/2 inch though,be perfect for N/A,just need to change front flange to suit twin pipe part. has HSV muffler,and dumpy at the rear. offers...? ---------- Post added 20-10-10 at 22:57 ---------- not everyones cuppa tea,itll do for now till new bumper is painted off to Muff man for full 3" exhaust! engine bay pretty much done turbo front elbow anyone? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

^^^^^^^ I like it alot !! nice work Kelv ! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Engine bay looks farken awesome man....Great work Its hard keeping a white engine bay clean though lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looking mint kelvin good work engine bay looks super sick. Bring on powercruise ae.

Thanks guys! Yea i like it,will be done again later on once engine is out. Fired her up tonite,hell she is an animal.shoulds awesome as,and timing needs to be sorted will sound alot better then,quite loud with the 3" and screamer. Took her for quick gallop.bit ruff but felt good to have her running. Caught on fire though which wasnt much fun,had flashes of all my hard work going up in flames,was just bit off oil on the heat wrap.

Looks awesome Kelvin!
