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

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.

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.

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??!!!
