Righto... just completed the convesion and she is running like a charm... Its a S2 na block which i have bolted a R33 turbo on... its mounted on a monsta high mount, has a small front mount under the front bar... its only on 4-5psi so there is no signs of pinging yet... i have bigger injectors on the way so i might bump the boost up a little... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

is that hose up top your oil feed? i thought they needed to be proper lines due to the pressure, or is that just the return and its upside down

It's on a bit of a different angle due to the way the R33 turbo usually mounts. But yeah, messy bay! Pics of the cage? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Does this seem odd?? thought if i did that oil would flow beeter throughthe turbo ??? seems to b ggettin oil in and out ok... Yeh the bay is horrible but i'm gonna clean it up b4 the new motor goes in... I'll have to take some pics then i'll post em up
