Thought i'd post an update !!

The turbo's are back from Turbo Technics with new bearings and seals..


and i've put some ducting from the front scoops to the brakes and up the tunnel.
(i'll sort something put for the Hvac ones I took out later !!)



The extinguisher's in too.


(modded the rails so Haze can reach the pedals while the seat's out !!!)

Made a couple of brackets to hold the Defi display and Control Unit



Nearly there !! thumbup

Good work Obes!

Looks like you had a productive weekend!

Are you hoping to get the engine back before next weekend? 3 day install?

I was thinking of putting in an extinguisher - does anyone recon there might be enough room in front of the rear wheels inside the mud guard - either side?

You going to put a fan on the back of that? There is bugger all air flowing through that with M400 'sidepods' so I'd imagine next to naff all on a standard body?

Best you can do is two fans in front of the oil cooler, with the cooler in that position, Roush already do it and Trevor's got loads of data logging.

Looks like it's flush against the air inlet to me, so surely the fans have to go on the 'back' of it?
