and the box fitted back into the car, after fitting the line I’m not happy with it as it’s far to long and I’m going to make better one using speed flow

dump pipe is back on and fitted to the exhaust as well

tightened up the balancer bolt and fitted the mandrel and belt for the oil pump. 

 

also fitted the a/c lines to the a/c pump and with the brackets pushing the pump further out from the block gives so much more room for the turbo drain to snake through

I also forgot to mention how easy the top starter motor bolt is without all that shit under the inlet manifold, you literally just reach in from the top and put it straight in by hand

got the correct radiator and slipped it in only for the fan to hit on the mandrel for the oil pump. Out it came and will be for sale while I go back to the drawing board

Haven’t updated this for a while, I went on holidays and then had the flu 3 times in 2 months and when I have been well it’s been lots of little jobs that haven’t been finished for one reason or another.

First I changed the fuel return line from -6 to -8 

Replaced the short series filter to a long one4D7C3390-05F4-402B-BAC4-7804E0CC8B69.thumb.jpeg.4d3e59ead324348ebcc06f3ea4b45d4c.jpeg

then I grab a set of these brackets and took the option for the hicas line holders as well

installed them and used the hicas line holders to hold the 2 -6 lines for the power steering

I changed the fuel rain from being twin -6 feed and single -6 return to single -8 in and out

mounted the filter and plumbed them together

also am moving the flex sensor closer to the regulator and grabbed turbosmarts new -8 reg. Still some fittings and etc to get them in there, also fitted a pressure sensor for more safety

Also means you can setup differential fuel pressure on the Kebabtech 😎

So regardless of slightly fluctuations on fuel pressure you'll inject the right amount.

Notice my logs before had rock solid AFRs? 😊

Got most of the oil system plumbed up 

got the oil filter into place, I hate where it is but it was the only place I could find where it wasn’t in the way of anything

Then plumbed the oil cooler In, BMRS fitting and hoses make this stuff so easy

and then the 2 -16 hoses run the length of the car into the boot, need to build a bracket to mount the tank and then the oil system will be done

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
    • appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
