Nice going mate like how you have kept it simple, let me know what power figure you get as I have the T88 for mine lol are those uprated twin oil coolers?

[m1tch]

I also just noticed that your IC setup won\'t be doing anything as there isn\'t anywhere for the air to escape! Im guessing you also have a Vmount bonnet to fit as well?

does this car still run??

Yes me olde china fruit the mrs is keeping it ticking over while im away.

Mitch the bonnet is the next thing on the to do list, think we are going to modify the stock bonnet some how, abd the oil coolers are twin FD units with custom lines.

Almost lost the car yesterday!!!!
I fitted a boost gauge the day before. Yesterday I rolled it out of the garage to go to a local jap meet, and fired her up. To my disgust my gauge wasnt working (how can i fit a gauge and a tube wrong!!!, lol) I popped the bonnet to try a different nipple and saw some water going down the side of my block, near the manifold. But after smelling it i realised it was fuel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Turned the car off and it must have dumped half a litre on the floor. I took the UIM off and the secondary rail and injectors out. The injectors were seated right and had all the washers etc. Fitted them back in and primed the pump, after a bit of head scratching I found the cause. The jubilee clip on the fuel pipe that feeds the primary rails wasnt on tight!!!
Im just glad that I noticed it on the drive way and not in a fireball on the road!! bad times.


Been fettling again. Had some side panels made up for the V mount, fitted a new ITG filter and tube, cusco brake stopper is fitted.

Found these two under the seat in my old FD!!

Got some reflective kevlar sheet stuff to go on my intercooler tubes to keep the heatsoak down. Nearly finished.

Looks top notch mate well done. I bet there was a little brown stain in your pants when you realised it was fuel leaking.

[G@NDY]

I was just glad it didnt catch fire!!!

500 miles after a rebuild and it could have all gone up in smoke
