MGF or MR2?

Ha, nice pic. Definately MGF though judging by the wheels.

Little update, Ramon is sorting me out with a 12AT front cover and sump, so thats that sorted. Will hopefully get time too put the 13BT on the bench tomorrow and strip off whats left of the loom and front cover.

[captainbizzaro]

Had a spare hour so got the engine on the bench today to make a start,sump is off, front cover bolts are out,thankfully clean as a whistle there so fingers crossed that theme will continue!

I\'m sure you\'ve go it in hand, but you\'ll need a different oil pickup also - the stock one will not fit the sump.  I\'ve done the conversion (kinda did a few bits and pieces like single turbo and rewire), and it\'s not too bad.  If I can, anyone should be able to!!

do you use the 12a pickup?

[captainbizzaro]

Cheers Bish, I\'m going through an extremely steep learning curve right now so any pointers are greatly appreciated!

see, now I\'ve said about using a different pickup, I can\'t remember.  Bugger.  But I think the 12a pickup is right, as I had to get one and it was much easier getting the pickup than the sump.

How are you getting the turbo placed?  I\'ve heard rumours the stock manifold can be reversed and drilled to allow it to miss the steering box - I didn\'t as I had to get a different manifold for the T04s.  Honestly, if you wanna have an offline chat about it, please feel free to mail archbish@gmail.com.  I\'m sure you\'ve got it all in hand, but do feel free to mail if you wanna!!

[captainbizzaro]

I\'m sorted front cover wise as I\'ve been sorted one from a 12AT so return hole is already there.

I am going premix, although turbowise I am still unsure. How are you getting on with the T04S and where did you get the manifold-or did you have yours fabricated?
