He got his new manifolds yesterday. The turbo position changed and ill be going back out next weekend to alter the cooler pipe. Also been making his surge tank but haven't been to work most of this week as i've been pretty crook.

Was talking to Nath earlier. I'm keen to see the new manifolds and the surge tank.

Sorry about the lack of updates, project has really taken it's toll on me lately. But, onwards and upwards.

New front bar has had the split plastic welded and all cracks etc filled and in primer ready for paint.

New manifolds, crossover, wastegate and dump pipe.

As pub said positioning has changed slightly, so some work needed there. Pubs also working on the surge tank, so I'm pretty keen to see that too

cheers guys, not sure if anyone noticed in that top photo but have made the fuel rail hoses and mounted the fuel reg off the back of the rail - also sneaky fuel pressure gauge. Have run all the silicone hoses and wiring through to eboost2 in the cabin.

waiting on a couple of fittings to finish off the fuel & oil feed lines then that will be the engine bay all plumbed up. finished the oil return line too.

PTFE = Pure suffering & death, an absolute prick to work with. It's pretty hard to get the length right the first time and it's got bugger all flex in it so it has to be pretty much perfect length.

Needless to say I had to remove the fittings and re-cut a few times. Thank god i'm using pushlock for the surge tank, ptfe down there would be a nightmare.

Yeah too right. I do have a sort of deadline, C4C in tassie have already booked the spirit to take the car over for it. But plenty of time still.

Hoping to get it into the exhaust shop to have the dump pipe merged with the exhaust this week fingers crossed..

Almost there man ! loving it

The mrs tells me fittings have arrived so should be able to plumb up the fuel feed line tonight!
