Cheers for sorting that chef

Shame its the only shiny bit on my car and its hidden

Bent oil and water lines by hand to fit
New oil flange gaskets
New water line seal rings
Fitted stock downpipe
Swapped wastegate studs between manifolds
Fitted wastegate, had to force the flexi to line up



Started to try and get the loom back into place

Knock sensors refitted and torqued
Flywheel sensors refitted

I need a coolant flange that goes into the back of the block if anybody has one?

Rusty might

This one?

[andy10v]

Thats the one, just hoping not to pay £45, an old 7a one would do.

[martinws]

Progress is looking good man. Iv got one but im pretty sure its an ABY on which is 25mm diameter pipe. Would the 3B pipework stretch to that?

Another brief garage session

7A coolant flange (courtesy of spink) on the left, broken plastic one on the right. I had top fit a spare 7a coolant hose as my hose was a larger diameter (I thought ABYs were larger )



7A FPR (courtesy of spink), fitted straight on once you swap the mounting brackets and lines, IM reference line is bottom v side but that makes no odds.



Fitting new injector seats (old ones all stripped out, so burned them, then picked/wire wheeled clean)



All in and excess sealant wiped off.



New MFTS plug and pins





Time to lube up





IM built up



And on



Got a pair of compbrake top mounts from Kit





I am going to drill and tap the lockring for a grubscrew so they will not come loose. I am also going to try a poly/rubber ring to cushion it a little if there is enough threads.

No 10mm Allen key should be married to plastic......stripped mine out too, nightmare.
Must be getting excited now ehh? Looks sick man

[andy10v]

Yup, starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Have you been near yours?

[irishs2]

I wonder how difficult brass injector seats would be to remove , Or if they fail at all.
Every bit of progress helps

Its coming together nicely mate - what is left to do now?

Haha lucky sod, can't wait to go a blast

Collecting some more parts. I got my subframes, wishbones and a lot of other wee bits professionally blasted and primed today....... But anywhere near my car... No

There would only be the seal between the manifold and seat to fail, so sealant and replace as required?

It will be rough and ready for an MOT, then do a job each weekend in a manageable way to tidy it back up.
