No these fitting are for the water lines.

I am using an10 for the fuel line though.

Think iv spent 300 quid on fittings and line so far but think iv got them all now apart from a couple for the oil lines

Hoes hoes hoes everywhere, I'm mean hose not hoes

Not matter how many times I went through which fittings I needed iv come to realise that I still need a couple more

Getting there though. Welded some tabs on for the radiator so that is held in place now, hopefully get around to making 2 small brackets for the water pump and fuel filter next

Nylon braided hose, teflon and regular is so much nicer to work with than steel braided hose. Only had one 30 quid fitting give me grief but eventually played ball and went on. Whether or not they're all going to be leak free is another question though

Oh, does that fuel tank have original "filling stuff" in it? If it does, get rid off it asap

Just caught up on this, nice install, you have acres of space left.

You could have dropped a 26b in there loll

Turbo location looks factory fitted .

Do you have an estimated 1/4 mile time for all your hard efforts ?

9.99 and 140 mph are what I want to achieve and then see from there how much more time I can shave off. Ultimately the gear box will probably be the limiting factor, but also the diff and drive shafts I think.

With the semi pp engine and the turbo I am looking at, an s480, I want to make 1000hp or as close as possible and go for 8.50s

On the plus side of things I saw a dyno sheet on fb yesterday, using a slightly larger turbo than mine but on a street port and using ethanol fuel they made some considerable hp

Here's the dyno sheet

Thats 719hp @ 30 psi of boost which is what I was hoping to to run on the current engine

That should see well into the 9s, the car weighs naff all, so it's going to be exciting to drive. Especially with the short wheel base
