Never mind taking picture of your bling bling bits.....wheres my engine pics??? LOL!
 
Now, the Fools back at home so i can start banging on my own car with come in this night 18.00h. The shell is painted and work done all over the place. By next weekend she's gotta be running. Things to do: take sub with engine and box out. Change clutch and brake hydraulics (never done that, so i'm just curious), put the new engine togheter, mount it on the sub+gearbox and put it under the car. Weld the new exhaust togheter with the v-bands and new Borla backbox. Changing oilfeedlines from turbo and oilcooler, changing waterhoses and all the clamps. Put in the xrd, go on monday to fastchip, put gauges in it, put bonnet, front and rearbump and boot on it (tuesday), clean it on wednesday and leave belgium on thursday. Sounds like a nice plan aint it ? :smokin:

Cat (Jo's missus) is ace Dave......very patient & a great cook too LOL.....if I were Jo I'd be loving her long time!!! :blush: :blush:
 
she can have the whole 2 minutes :dude: :mrgreen:

serious, she's the best and apreciate what i'm doing with the cars for myself and others. Ok, for now it costs a lott by the car value is rising...very fast.

Bad news is: even in belgium the original parts are out off order (simple clutch for the quadra aint avaible no longer)
 
dusting, kuch*kuch*

the car is back on the road in his previous set up (minor changes). All hoses on turbosite are new (breaded), custom waterpipe's samco (finaly) and another Gt2871R is fitted.

Its not gonna run for long because you cant quit with these cars.

So, after some experiments with jap cars i'm going in to the external wastegate street. Had a good look on dave's selfmade EW and decided to do it a bit diff.

I'll took the manifold from the rally laguna and test-fitted it on the car. Before that i had an appointment with turbo service belgium to calculate what turbo was best for my set up and what i had in mind with the car/engine.

The goal is/was 350 on the wheels with minimum 500Nm, max 600 Nm at max 1.7 bar boost.

It turned out in a Gt3071R with a new developed turbine , .78 , from Garret.

A new custom clutch/flywheel package is also in the pipeline.
