COMMENTS:
I brought the car from G40will (cheers mate ) and basically kept it clean, shiny and running. Got several things which i want to change upgrade as finances allow. Shortly be changing the wheels to 13 x 7 ATS classics to try and improve handling/acceleration. I don't have any interior pics as its usually too messy to take any! Seem to be racking up the miles pretty quickly but i find it so much fun to drive. Might be something to do with the smaller pulley its running!!!
Are you sure it's a 60mm pulley - that is small and don;t think it can be that good for the charger ???
not 100% sure. tried to measure it but couldnt get an accurate measurement without taking it off! Seemed smaller than 65mm anyway. Doesn't matter now as its ben replaced with an eaton!!
I thought richie tried out a 61 or was it 62 and the charger would only last a few weeks
???? I've never been 100% sure. All i know is it soon shifted, even with a boost leak! lol.
please get the stuff posted on here i refuse to link into that site.
i like the 2nd and 3rd pic there mate. looks sweet.
cheers. that was 2hrs of polishing the day before, a careful drive to springfest 08 and another hour or so getting it perfect.
I'll post some more stuff up as soon as i find 5mins. Need to downsize most my pics :-(
As i havent posted up any pics, thought i'd add some new(ish) ones......

gave the battery tray a lick of hammerite to hopefully stop it rusting
hi john in the vid of your car is the eaton cam fitted their bud or jus a standard cam????
steven
its a 1341 eaton cam chap.
ok cheers for letting me know i thought it would sound different with the eaton cam in as i have been told a few times that the engine sounds like a subaru engine with the eaton cam but this sounds normal
steven
Don't see how it can tbh.
dunno just what i had heard from steve at pitstop
steve
did you say philj fit your eaton cam?
steve
Yes, he did.
OK, time for an update............
chargers currently out whilst i sort out the leaking seal. hopefully i can get a seal from the chaps that supply bits to our mechanic at work.
new pipercross air filter to be collected later so i can get that air intake all finished and working.
Aquamist system turned up yesterday ;D Need to download the installation manual and read through it 100 times so i know where every bit goes although im not sure which nozzle is which ???
All thats left to do then is bleed the brakes and hope they work again and then get it MOT'd.
Pics to follow when ive taken some.
wish mine was so close to being finished :'( good luck with it mate
steve
It sounds so close to being finished but i dare say it is! Plenty of bits need checking,replacing or buying before it can be remapped.
Stick with it mate, it'll all be worth it!
Gonna be a screamer when it's all set up.
It sounds like an angry dyson! lol.
The day will come when its all done. Hope to get the aquamist partially fitted this week.
Blimey, havent posted in here for a while! ;D
Since the lost post, ive done quite afew miles and the cars eaten (not eaton) its way through more belts than i care to mention so with abit of funding from the bank of mum & dad, i brought the engine and turbo set-up from tommy. I was gonna sell the engine but the sale fell through so i decided to keep it just incase a project come up in the future that needed abit of extra umph.
I've already got the turbo and manifold in and it looks quite good although the turbo looks abit lobsided so to speak, doesnt sit 90degress to the slam panel?? The oils also been drained along with the coolant and the intercooler and rad removed.
Jobs left to do:
remove sump and fit new sump with oil inlet for turbo.
change oil filter and re-fill with oil.
swap bottom pulley over to run standard alternator belt
fit intercooler and boost pipes
swap over and wire in turbo throttlebody
fit alternator
buy & fit chip.
Bits left to buy:
alternator belt
silicone pipe reducer
sump gasket (possibly)
PPP turbo chip
Pics to follow when i find a way to upload them from my mega old nokia phone onto the pc without a cable??!!!
piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiics!
cant mate. having afew serious issues at the mo so i dont even know if i'll be able to keep my car once its all back up and working :(
With you now fitting a turbo you have the charger set up lying around doing nothing............?
nope. It was spoken for ages ago. Going to my mate so hes got a spare for his eaton'd G. Sorry. the eaton cam and intercooler i was using are still for sale tho.
