Which is why 8374 makes sense. Isn't that right Grant??

Na, twin EFR's is better.

That kit is far to untidy, 

Wrap the bonnet with a photo of stock engine bay, that way you'll look at it and say "that's tidy engine bay" :P 

Sent the rocker cover out to craved coatings and got it done to match the rest of them IMG_4744.thumb.JPG.6afa6134301a3d4fee17e346f645c60a.JPGam going to uncover the writing on it due to the candy looking different there compared to the rest

Parts are back from ceramic coating IMG_4822.thumb.JPG.5cf3f8ee475476153faf90d50043a1e0.JPGi also bought plugs for the original oxygen sensors because I no longer use them and they will just be in the way when installing the turbos

IMG_4828.thumb.JPG.3db9bfcd9c9a8326e7ccd08c1287e64e.JPGthen moved onto the cam gears and timing belt

I then grabbed a die grander with basically a scotch bright pad on it and attacked the powder coatIMG_4833.thumb.JPG.7f2c88345b2389c350619f4fe737f249.JPG halfway done

IMG_4834.thumb.JPG.2353981157b2bd15f90050fd90bca345.JPGpowder coat gone and then I ran another pad over it to give it a machined look

Then got to fitting it to the engine IMG_4836.thumb.JPG.04867ea540bf3c0762a2b3f6934ce1f5.JPGhere it is fitted to the engine

IMG_4837.thumb.JPG.df0c7aade7b3e1f6dac59e3e349b01ce.JPGthis comes with the kit and of corse is the reason the kits costs so much lol

IMG_4838.thumb.JPG.a9df0418147d17669701275a29de6702.JPGand with all the sensors and oil cap fitted,

Had some time today so I decided to spend it playing with the car IMG_4822.thumb.JPG.d009be87cb63945f4e5725c08b67dc90.JPGIMG_4844.thumb.JPG.5f6d12c7e23b38252856bef4d6e73724.JPGfinally unwrapped all the parts I got ceramic coated, it's a shame you won't see them once they're installed 

And finally the turbos can start going on, some people will be a bit disappointed IMG_4824.thumb.JPG.28e6ae604b5f998129b74c4849a2e97a.JPGIMG_4823.thumb.JPG.f5c51bbaee14e0635d24ed4146f4b0bc.JPGbut I'm staying twins (that was never a secret) and they are nothing specialIMG_4825.thumb.JPG.b6560843efd7188c06aba5905a80ef37.JPGjust a basic set of -5s with very low kms that I got for a price way to good to pass up

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
