Hicas pump is on the other side of the motor to turbos...

I don't think I said anything about it being in the way of changing turbos? :unsure:

It got in my way when A) changing the bloody oil filter.. and B) replacing the intake manifold gasket, getting at those bolts at the back is a right pain.

Not connecting all coolant and heater hoses before putting engine in = massive face palm

I did mine after the engine was in but I had the intake manifold off.. no way it could happen with that on! Might be a bit different with a 26 because the water rail is a lot neater and closer to the runners.

OK! Everything is hooked up except radiator top hose and throttle cable. Powered her up to check the electrics and everything except the pillar gauges (acting funny, will get the multimeter out tomorrow) and the stoplight switch was sticky. The HID's work mint, the highbeam mod works mint, thermo fans work mint although there is a slight reverberation between the two fans when they are both on but meh. No fires, no melted wires or bad smells, fuel pump primes.. tomorrow I'll plug the laptop in and check all the sensors, if that's good I'll change the maps for new afm and injectors and hopefully I get a throttle cable so I can start it on Friday!

    • I vote go red. Only because I hate keeping gloss black clean. Was no worries helping out either! Glad you've survived the rain outs of QLD
    • I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real
    • Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.
    • No clips on this one like the other connector. Only that red tab that I can push slightly up.
    • For any loom connector that has an obvious release that resists pushing far enough to unclip, just spray some silicone lube into it. You might also benefit from using a bent screwdriver or small pick to push in the right place at the right angle.
