Yeah looks at home but now iv put the engine on the normal slant the rear turbo is hitting the abs unit and leaves no room for a dump so after pulling my hair out and destroying a manifold I'm having to bite the bullet and go a bigish single. So a t67 will be going on now I need a manifold which leaves me 2 optons I either make one from scratch or buy a cheap one and spend a few hours cleaning it up and re welding till I'm happy all comes down to time which Im short on. This weekend me and dori34 are going to crack the wip and get it to the point where its ready to only have to do the hot side. So this weekend will be wiring, drive shaft. Raidator install and hook up, connect needed vac and heater hoses, cold side cooler piping, install injectors, install seats and finally install sensors and gauges. It's a big list but should get it done with 2 blokes fingers crossed

There is but it's tight turbo would have to sit between cil 3&4 but the engine mount is there and the rack sits back 120mm then a skyline rack making it hard to get to the lower controll arm bolts. If top mounted it will sit between cil 1&2 or 2&3. Not sure how easy it would be to low mount a t67 and tial gate kinda need to buy the turbo before deciding

So next weekend I'm going to spend the whole weekend working on the girl bribed a mate with beer to do all the lock changes and few other bits. I'll be finishing off the bay hoping to get it to the point where it's only exhaust

I'm out of time and money needs around 2 g and it's done I'm devo plus someone stole all my gauges and a stainless manifold the other day so that puts me back there to. The plan was to keep the car sell the 26 buy a cheap 25 and I could finish it. My daily shat a motor today and tow costs and repairs near left me a g out of pocket with no car all while trying to tow a car so I'm stuck. If the 26 sells it will be finished if not will sit there till I have the money

Hahahahaha what happened to this car/project.........

Oh that's right BSA got kicked out of the unit he was living in and left the car sitting in the parking spot! Abandoned the car and left the real estate to clean up his mess.

What's happening with this build? Still going?

My current weekend car is a 98' E36 318is.

I was thinking of doing an individual throttle body kit on my car and rebuilding the motor with 3.2L M3 internals. Would be great fun with a high-revving 1.9L 4cyl making ~200hp.

What kind of coin is required to do the RB25 or the SR20 conversion? If it's cheaper by a long mark I may look down that avenue instead....

    • They work on really anything track related now. They do my mates r35 gtr and it's a weapon of a car.
    • I use the penrite 600f in my cars and have had no issues even at Townsville v8s when I drove that but I bled fluid end of day for just in case. Good value and a about 38-40 on sale. Use castrol srf on the supercars and no need to Bleed brakes over a race weekend. Do the 1000km with no issues. Over 120 a bottle I seen at repco. A quality brake pad is always a good starting point the ebc stuff I've seen let go after 2 sessions with heavier cars. I'd be going to a decent track pad and maybe those porsche air guides on the control arm to help with some air over the rotor. Helps on 86/brz with stock callipers.  
    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
