Added a couple of little bits but boy are they the danglys,

Added the two aux rollers I never had the fixings up until now, pure porn.



Ah they seems to be a little flaw with the left hand drive cars, the throttle cable isn't long enough.

It's not an issue, will just have to replace it with a longer unit, no problem.

Sorry I am s**t with them, will check later today when I get back from work.

So will the throttle cable be a longer off the shelf item or a custom made one? Just in case it would snap in the next years so i know what and where i would have to get one.

Cheers mate

Well cracked on some more.

Stripped off all the non required parts around the aux belt and fitted the brackets for the power steering pump-



Got all the brackets all sorted and re routed the power steering pipes to fit

Pump on, had is there to stop glare as the sun (yes the sun) is shining through the top-



Also fitted the cooling part to the conversion, a pair of slim line fans mounted to the radiator-

Well as I said I have done all the wiring and got all my extra bright boost pipes all sorted Cool , fitted the engine oil cooler but couldn't finish it off, my oil filter wrench at home isn't manly enough to remove it, f**k its tight, will have to mount the sandwich plate at a later time.

Fitted the adaptor to the throttle housing and then fitted the k&n filter, just looks great.




Fitted the boost pipes around the radiator (these are tight buggers), once in I mocked up the location and cut some boost pipes up to aprroximate length.

With these in place it kinda looks like this-



Just got to trim the pipes to the correct neat length and then fit all the clips and fix the cooler to the car properly, sort all the fluid pipes for the charger, oil lines to the sandwich plate, fit the charger cooler and that's really about it really, oh and fit some new spark plugs

Here's what it looks like behind the cooler, going to fit the charger cooler above the engine oil cooler, need to fab up some brackets.





Well should be back with you soon Marco, best get planning the return trip to collect!

That's all for now.

Carl

Well I have been playing a lot today, need a new boost hose and she is more or less done engine wise, just need to fit your tail gate and cross off the long list you sent me.


Today's progress, tidied up all the wiring, heat shrinked what was made longer to make it neat and cable tied it up, cut all the boost pipes to length, realised I was a reducer short (hence the blue one), realised the cars fan loom is faulty and requires looking in to (only one fan gets a feed).

Just got to plumb the charger oil circuit, fit a breather filter for the Idle valve, repair the fan loom and fit a reducer in bright orange LOL




Not long now, soon be tearing up the Luxembourg motorways and the ring!


Carl
