After a bunch of problems finally got all the welding, exhaust fabricating done Big Grin

EGT bung welded on and in the background the custom pipe I've made to connect the wastegate to the downpipe Big Grin

Will get more pics of the rest in a day or two but now all that's done the manifold can be wrapped and final fitted Big Grin

I then fabricated a pipe to connect the wastegate

Now all this was done I've started the wrapping mission Smile

50ft of wrap later.......

Just ordered the 2" wide wrap to finish the manifold off and do the downpipe Smile

Bit more of an update my downpipe was originally matched to a different manifold which had the wastegate going straight to the downpipe, my new manifold had the wastegate 180degrees out! Instead of cutting the manifold I cut the flange off the downpipe, blanked the hole off and rewelded the flange in the right place

Had a good hit today, I trimmed, positioned and welded up the backbox and after a fair bit of playing I'm finally happy with it Big Grin

Final fitted the manifold, turbo, wastegate and downpipe (ran out of wrap for the last bit Sad

) also fitted the AFR and EGT sensor

Well it was a bit of a wrestle but the engine is finally in Big Grin

Now the turbo elbow is touching near the strut has anyone ideas on how much clearance is needed? The engine will rok so don't really want it too hit

[Image: null_zps7938be90.jpg]

Also has anyone got pictures of a front shot of theirs without rad etc so I can compare the engine angle as without a gearbox on there is quite a variable angle that the engine sits and this effects where the turbo sits Wink

Fitted the -12 breather system and radiator ( can anyone tell me if there is supposed to be any kind of rubber mount on the lower radiator mount feet?)

[Image: null_zpsafbdbed7.jpg]

Also started plumbing in the fuel lines -12 feed to the pump with 100micron filter and shutoff valve then -10 from pump to bulkhead where it splits to twin -8 feeds to the fuel rail with a -6 return

Fitted most of the fuel system now with it all P clipped in place and the -6 return line to FPR fitted Smile

just the twin -8 rail feeds needed now once I've sourced the fuel rail Smile
