ive been a bit behind in updating this :p
 
well got a delivery of bits. went to test fit the v band clamp but it wouldnt sit right on the exhaust housing. the outlet is a beveled type flange as you can see so its going to have to be milled down.
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
decided that i didnt like where the twin power and ignitor was and i wanted to put a good power source on the ignitor. but then looking at the twin power loom, coil loom etc im going to make up a new loom for the whole lot which means i have been doing more chopping, soldering and re looming.
 

 

 

 
 
 
going to chop these plugs out too
 

 
 
 
and the twin power and ignitor are going to live under the pax headlight.
 

 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 
 
 
downpipe finally made up and tacked ready for some good tigging. took nearly 3 hours in and out of the pit to get all the right angles, what a mare.
 

 
 
 
 
then finished off the wiring for the twin power and ignitor, mounted and thats all finished now too.
 

 
 
....so turbo oil feed and drain sorted out, UIM all back on, fitted turbo exhaust housing. then wrapped the down pipe and got that all fitted up, went to put the w/b sensor in and doh, the god damn gearbox is in the way.
 
anyway getting the fitting repositioned tomorrow so hopefully she will start tomorrow night, carnt wait to hear what its going to sound like

are you thinking clearance wise or for heat??

so manifold thanks to syed, wrapped and fitted. then sorted most of the engine wiring out, just a few left for the primary injectors which are away getting cleaned. the rest is on the uim and alternator which is also away getting reconned.
 
then fitted the oil cooler lines back up, sorted the power steering pipes and starter motor. also fitted the rad and intercooler back in too.
 

 

 

yes its mounted on the abs, hope that helps.

well its only taken me 3 months to put it in lol man up, its not even that cold, says him in the warm garage haha. borg warner when it turns up

back at ya dude
 
so engine mounts sorted and it was time for the crane. the little motor went back in its home very nicely. had a problem bleeding the clutch but then realise i didnt have enough fluid :rolleyes: the twin plate feels very nice too, that 6 puk was a pig compared to the pedal feel of this.
 
and left it at that as i couldnt be bothered to do any more lol
 
 
 

 

 

thanks guys
 
from what i can remember they worked really well. after i got the suspension setup it handled like a dream so no complaints. tbh a real test would be to put some aftermarket ones on there and test again but im happy with how it is (was)
 
might have a bit of update later. was planning on finishing the engine mounts off and putting the motor back in today

another possible FD in the area, where abouts are you from??
 
as said, you should find a good example for that kind of money.

cheers mir, left a reply on your thread.
 
i take it no one wants to share any info with me and help me out then

wow its been a while since i have touched the yellow peril... jesus
 
 
so where do i start, well i have been turning the motor over regularly and every now and then put a heater in the garage to keep the little beast warm :p :p
 
i have now ordered a new turbo, borg warner s366 so i need a new manifold.
 
talk to me.... what does the design affect, what type of material should i use, wall thickness, OD size, flange thickness etc etc :confused:
 
i can get one made by a friend so anything is possible.
 
moving up i need a turbo flange, is this any good :confused:

yeh mazda part, would be interesting to find out how much they retail at, not sure weather they will even have the details on them tbh. they are orginally a purply plastic colour.
 
yeh the shine one is carbon.

cheers for that, always nice to know people are still enjoying the read.
 
the one on top of the rear lights is from shine auto, the one on the top is OEM mazda spolier. i have only ever seen one before

wow, its been a while since i touched the car. been turning the engine over weekly though.
 
cleared the garage out and got the peril back in its lair for the winter work once again. forgot how stiff the car was after working on the daily, which is also lowered. jacked one front corner so the wheel was only just off, looked at the rear which also came up, which it always has. walked around the other side to take the other front off, and that was also off the ground haha
 
got all this to sort out, what a mess it looks.

 
 

have you got any pics of the turbo??
 
im struggling to identify the turbo that was on my car as it needs rebuilding. i think its some sort of hybrid td06-07 but unsure.
 
i also had great spool and a good power band.

cheers grant but i have emailed him with no reply as yet
