5 GT Turbo The second coming…. The F4Rt saga

As above, tell gaz you’re running the compbrake top mount as they have a spacer they can supply to make it all work together

Thanks Nick, I’ve emailed them for clarity.

While mine got a lot of track action it was my daily and predominantly road. Was not harsh from memory

Turns out the downpipe flexi doesn’t have a hole, winner.

I think to fit the front mounted inlet that I want the rad is going to have to go, not sure moving it over will provide enough room and would likely negatively effect airflow.

I’m going to order another 02M/F4R adaptor plate if Scoff has one in stock.

The compbrake mounts are compliant enough for road use. Ive seen people having issues with lack of damper travel on gaz with stock top mounts too so the solids will be the better option.

I’ve added fresh wrap to manifold and down pipe, need to do the screamer but that wait.

A quick test fit of harnesses - they look decent.

Ordered the PMS breather plate today too.



I’m looking forward to getting rid of the big ugly OE inlet manifold. Should save some weight too.

 

[Mark Davis]

I’m definitely going to get the engine loom remade or at the very least rerouted, it’s less than ideal running directly above manifold/turbo.

 

[Mark Davis]

Todays task was to remove the sound deadening, still a bit to do under the seats and the boot floor, It’s surprisingly heavy.

The drivers side floor pan as seen better days but no holes so I’ll take it. The carpet will cover it so all good.



Hasn’t been started for 6 months, fired up first turn of the key.

Car went off to Ash this morning. PMS breather plate arrived along with ticket for FOS, anyone else going ?

Let me know if it’s Sunday.

Yes! Sarah and I are going on Saturday. Got a Hospitality Package so looking forwards to it..

 

[Mark Davis]

If my house renovation project manages to not get any crazier budget wise I think I’m going to send the car straight to the bodyshop after Ash has completed his work.

I might as well get it as good as I can, do inner and outer sills, the windscreen surround, bumper brackets and jacking points along with a lick of paint.

A sneak peek at the inlet manifold design.

 

[Big Steve - Raider]

Wow, that's rather flashy @Mark Davis

Trying to bring the rest of the car up to a similar standard.

twin injectors surely aren't needed at the level you will be running will they?
