Changed the design of the silincer hangers a bit to make them adjustable:
Now just need to source 2 m8 bolts and corresponding bushes which will fit snug into the rubbers
Decided to redo the oil return, way more futureproof now:
This is where i'm at atm:
Biggest challenge now is fabricating a bracket for the wastegate actuator....

Finally some progress again, had to make an egt probe into the exhaust manifold, fabricate a bracket and rod for the wastegate actuator, together with some more smaller stuff.
However that has been finished now after which the engine looked like this:
Put it in straight after:
Now waiting for me to proceed next week:
And a bit of porn:
Still alot on the to-do list but i'm getting closer!

Still a long way to go as i'll be doing mapping myself, first have to finish it, drive it and make sure everything is ok. After that i'll be trying to make power. Eventually i'm hoping 500nm and 450bhp but anything north of 400 and safe will do for me
Yeah it does, after over 6 months of work it's finally taking shape now!

Two steps forward, one step back.... fired up the engine today which was great, however after fitting new outer cv's, bolting subframe, wishbone's etc back together i noticed the wheels where stuck, guess what, brand new gkn outer cv's don't fit.....
Going to put the old driveshafts back on now as the car has to be back on the road before FCS, a day worth of work in the bin though!
Now on to the happy bit:

Bummer on the drive shafts....
THAT sound must have eased the pain somewhat though. Good times
Animal that sound ! Your getting close now

First update without pictures as i haven't found an alternative for Photobucket yet.
Managed to finish the car off yesterday, only to find out i've made a mistake with the tank breather so the fuel tank had to come off again....
So that's what i did today, after that bled the brakes another time as it wasn't perfect yet. Some cleaning of the 6 month dust eating in the garage and took it for a testdrive after.
The turbo already made a few woosh and phie sounds which sounds so addictive! Sadly i came to the conclusion the cooling fan wasn't working properly, after some continuity tests i came to the conclusion it has a short somewhere, doh!
Managed to get a day off work tomorrow so that'll be my last chance to fix it before heading over to FCS next weekend, fingers crossed!

Fixed the car today and had a proper testdrive, seems all issues are sorted now so hopefully she will get me to and from FCS without problems
