Good day guys

Some of you may know I've been traveling oz for the past month, and wow it's great out here hot hot hot

While I was in sydney I stopped of at my good pals TurboSmart, they sorted me a real nice deal on some parts for the project. Also if any member is keen on products from them I'm a dealer so I should be able to do some good fdukin deals

Anyway here the parts they sorted for me

First up FPR1200 6an

Well today I've made a start on the conversion, it looks like I've got a few late nights ahead of me.

I've now sorced my bosch 044 and secondary injectors

One question I do have is I have the Bosch 0280158827/NGI-2 1680cc high resistance injectors

How do I fit these to the lim?? I'm guessing I remove the stock diffusers from the lim, now do I need to fit a rubber cushion or spacer as there isn't anything stopping the injectors dropping down the bigger denso seat.

Cheers

Craig

Well what little time I've had tonight I've been thinking where I want my turbo to sit

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/6457503b.jpg

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/1a52b6fd.jpg

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/da9b912b.jpg

I'm thinking around this area and I might even try and get a v-mount on there in the next few weeks just have to see how the penny's are lol

This is where the turbo is going to sit now, I spent a few hours tonight finalising the placement for the runners

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/3a08fea5.jpg

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/f05bf25e.jpg

TGS flange ;)

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/97e68eae.jpg

Anyways that's me for tonight

Thought I would mock up the 3.5" downpipe first before I figger where the wastegate is going to go.

I'm waiting on a 3.5" vband flange set which should be with me in the week so I can finish the downpipe when I have that

You guys :o

Tonight I've managed to get the first wastegate pipe welded in on the manifold

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/63e76e6c.jpg

On the second runner I'm going to come in from the otherside and bring them both togeather

Last nights work :)

Sorted both wastegate runners into a merge and the watsegate placement for feed back into the bottom of the downpipe.

I couldn't find the vband to match the hotside so I rewelded a 3.5" one in place

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/71d48b6d.jpg

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/422c35e6.jpg

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/ecd64e50.jpg

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/f811f705.jpg

Agreed. That is some beautiful work!

Holy crap you have some skills. Keep it up!

Very nice, looks great!

Sorry not updated for a while

Here we go

Nearly there now just a few welds to finish and then I can move onto the oil lines and fuel system.

I did say above about routing the wastegate back into the downpipe..... Well I thought I wouldn't just to see if I like the sound

Anyway here is the piccys

BIG THANKS TO JAMES

For helping me till 1200 on Friday night getting my engine stripped to see what we had inside.

It took sometime today cleaning the rotors up

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/3c918cd7.jpg

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/7c284204.jpg

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/5e679a7a.jpg

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/93ffae45.jpg

We also found the engine was using 3mm seals

I'm in the market for some 3mm conner seals, I'm guessing as I have a receipt from Hurley for the engine from the last owner that there his 3mm apex seals

Has anyone used hurley conner seals with the 3 built in springs

http://www.hurleyrotary.com/cornerseals.php

Great debate :)

Well the engine bay is back together and the engine is cleaned painted and ready to go back togeather #can not wait to drive her again lol

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/3b7ac373.jpg

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/5e2ca238.jpg

I hope to build the engine tomorrow night and have back running by next Friday

Good grief man, you guys work fast lol.

Building the engine later so fingers crossed should be running this week at some point

Still need to hide my front brake lines and a few cables

Cheers

Craig
