hey guys updatee.

we put the drive shafts in today and thank god i have the right ones. my car is going in tommorow to have all the intercooler piping taken care of and the turbo intake pipes.

also put heater pipes and fuel lines back on. Radiator is back in the car and will be working on the thermo fan issue very soon as the mechanic wants to use push type fans.

ok finally got a update on the loom. The guy rang up and said he is doing the final touches on the loom.

The intercooler is mounted and the pipe from intercooler to the throttle body is done.
The piping is also done in mild steel not aliumnum
They have don't something different with the piping the the turbo to the intercooler. The rear turbo goes in 2 inch from the turb through the hole in the body and stops before the intercooler.
The front turbo also in 2 inch runs under the bottom of the car and stops just near the intercooler then goes into a a single 2.5 inch pipe into the intercooler.

why not just use an intercooler with 2 inlets on the same side?? Hope they're doing a good job mate and you're not getting ripped!

their doing a good job I will gt a good pic when I go their on friday. I can't use a intercooler with the to inlet and outlet on same side because of the rear turbo mate their is no room as it is on the passenger side mate.

^^^I think you will find he means an intercooler with two inlets on one side and two outlets on the other. Basically two cores stacked on top of one another.

Got any more photos yet?

Looks bloody good mate, you sure you can keep the battery there? Where you routing the intake for the turbos? And where you putting the AFM (if keeping it that is)

They have already done all the piping and had the battery in the car when they did it mate. It look sex on wheels i cant wait for it 2 be done just now waiting on damn stupid loom and thermo fans and KaNpod filter.

very nice mate! this is long overdue LOL glad to see it wont be much longer.... dyno & put it on the strip

nvr2low · Post by **nvr2low** » Fri May 15, 2009 7:44 pm

yeah man thank god it is finally coming along. the only problem i got is that because the way they done the front turbo intercooler piping i might have to put one fan on the other side of the radiator. but time will come for that next week ihope.

it is giving me this sh*ts so many little things to be done.

found out today that he hasnt finishd the front turbo actuator yet he has cut it and got it ready but not re weleded it togther

I still think these guys sound like muppets! How much have you spent onit so far? Sounds like it's going to be very expensive... still, getting htere

:D:D

intercooler and piping installed was 1350 they did it in mild steel and goin to paint it red. Exhaust 700.
I haven't paid the actually mechanic anything yet man and this intercooler piping and exhaust is getting done by a difference work shop mate. It goes back to the other guys on tuesday for them to finish the car.
I ordered the thermo fans and the kAn podfilter for the maf sensor last night should all be here this week I hope.

FTEvolution · Post by **FTEvolution** » Mon May 18, 2009 10:29 am

But have the mechanics given you any idea of the cost yet? I remember a while ago you mentioned a budget of ~$5k, you are getting near that magic number already! Unless of course that was just $5k for the install of the engine (and not all the piping etc)

nvr2low · Post by **nvr2low** » Tue May 19, 2009 5:20 pm

piping and all that is extra buddy and yh the budget dunno were that is anymore lol.

I don't like the way that sounds mate, sounds like you may have lost control of the project... hope they don't try to rip you!!! Good luck
