RX4 BridgePort Turbo

[Grant Monkhouse]

The fd drag car or you started on the rx2?

[BlitzBoy]

the fd, no money for the rx2 , plus my team mate on the project needs to sort out his garage space so he can make a cage

[Grant Monkhouse]

Not a huge update but I\'m excited no the less.
Moved my car from parents to my garage!! This means when the soaps are on I can go and work on my car!!


I have more than enough room down either side to work under the car, now need to order some fuel line and clips and also some brake line. And of course some cable for the battery feed from the boot space too the alternator.

Run the radiator in the boot - it looks wicked mean like that

Turbo manifold? I\'m using an eBay one at the moment but I\'m modifying the crap out of it to suit the engine bay. I\'m probably going to have to make my own from scratch which is what I was trying to avoid:( I have the turbo mounted in the best place possible to fit with the cooler and everything.

The wastegate positioning on FD manifolds, this eBay one, is a pain in the arse. Ian going to be cutting it off and bringing from the bottom of the manifold and towards the front of the car as I have more room there and it makes my down pipe build much much simpler.

I will be running a screamer pipe straight out  by the side of the driver side wheel! Nice noise and flames:D

I wish I could, it would be far easier but I already have the charge cooler radiator mounted under the boot floor! I may end up mounting the rad back there in the future, if I go 20B:D

Right time for some picture whoring. Seen as the car is in my back garden, would have been rude to not put the side mount on and the new water inlet/outlet wouldn\'t it.


This kit came with no instructions but I didn\'t need it as its so simple. You have to remove a few studs from the block but easily done with a pair of grips.

The alternator pulley doesn\'t line up with the FD front cover pulley but I\'m not fussed. Going to machine a pulley to fit out of aluminium. I could just swap to an fc front cover but that\'s not an option for me

[Grant Monkhouse]

Fuel line turned up today. Got some clips for it it too. Hopefully get it installed this week. Need a couple of axle stands though.
