Sorry I've not updated in a while
Anyway, not got much done.
but I will update bits that I can and the rest tomorrow or something
downpipe has been welded up and heatwraped
Finally managed to get the Turbo clocked and I now have the oil feed and return where they belong, so got the Turbo cleaned out after the drilling to get the bolt out and gave it a test fit
Back together and test fitted, compressor housing was loose here, still to rotate that to a desired position once I see what angle these BMW interpipes will be at
.
Now, due to the Backdoor intercooler the radiator was in the way of where the boost pipe would need to go, so I done what I do best... Ghetto the jobby out of it
I relocated the Rad under the support at an angle and flipped the hose to get the right fit..
Hopefully it won't get much heat soak, so planning on running a Turbo blanket to minimize the heat.. looks very neat though
Downpipe is as tight as I can get it, it's not touching but annoyingly close, so I'm I n source of a d16a6 water neck to allow for more clearance
Also, to balance out the front a bit I've got a set of fogs for the front.
Fills in the gaps at the side of the intercooler:
Before
After
And, since the bonnet is gubbed.
Picked up a cheap cf bonnet
And to complete the new branded set up, A turbosmart ultergate38
Just waiting on a few bits and Bobs getting delivered to fit the oil lines etc and then the intercooler need brackets made up to secure it
Then it's time for start up :
I will update more when I can
