Yup, thanks Craig =)

I actually picked it up when I was posted in England (E. Anglia, Huntingdon to be exact), I forget who I got it from.. I'd have to pop over to FDUK and check my old PM's.


I'll tell ya what... I miss the beer and I miss the birds =P

Wow! great work. I love the exhaust work you have done. Do you have any videos of how it sounds?

Cheers guys :)

Tonight we started on the power steering move to electric pump

I sourced the pump rack wiring for just 30 quid WIN

Anyway here's some pics from tonight

Well guys I finished the install of the Saxo power steering pump tonight.

Had a local company to fab the small high pressure hose

I'm well happy with the results

The engine bay is starting to look very clean and tidy

Driving the car feels good strong the only diffrance I would say is the steering is a touch heavy but I like that

That's me for this week

Cheers

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

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

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

Topgear 04-28-2012 05:00 PM

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