@<tuffty/> I’ve just been informed that the variable valve adjusters should be all the way to the left when doing the chains is this true? I hope not I don’t think it was in the workshop manual if it is
Yeah panic over ( I hope) haha I just can’t remember doing it but must of to get it timed up properly
Looks like it’ll perform well on your setup.... not a turbo I’m familiar with, does look meaty

Yeah sorry fpr, gauge and the Cts fuel rail needs hose tail adapters have all the fitting just don’t know what to use ptfe,liquid loctite?
All my fittings were o-ring type (on the IE fuel rail)... obvs you don't use anything when attaching hose fittings to the AN male fitting as they are friction seal...
If they are straight fit like on fuel pumps etc then you would typically use copper sealing washers... if they are taper fit then oil/fuel resistant thread seal (rather than thread lock)... I have used whatever Bill had kicking about at the time... was an orange coloured thread/pipe sealant by Forch iirc...

It’s in 
but as always one step forward 2 back it’s very tight fit and is touching the heat shield and also looks very tight where downpipe / wastegate will go but hopefully do able
I will have to look al
T some hard piping to replace the coolant feed pipe from the header tank as the oem pipe sits to close to the turbo for my liking and looks a mess tbh

Hope you got some sense of satisfaction when you sat back and took that photo of the engine in place.
Definitely did, You start to realise how close you are to finishing when times I’ve felt out of my depth, few bits of coolant pipe to change, bit of wiring, fmic pipe work, tip, fuel feed to sort and can get it fired up before it’s off for custom downpipe I’m hoping @badger5 has more
Ecu’s in by soon aiming for start up for new year
well spotted!
Yeah will be able to do that in place should of really done it before but the test fit was that tight didn’t want to take it out again

I’m sure once started it won’t take you long at to be on road again,
So finally got the 4motion TB fitted and finally have some clearance the csf rad definitely made things tighter,
removed the carbon canister to de clutter the bay abit but might try and fit the fpr in there as it’s a ****** big thing
Can a fpr be fitted on the side? And does the inlet have to be the bottom port so it’s pushing towards the fpr for a accurate reading or could I use the bottom port as a return?

I plan on venting of the rocker cover straight to the tip I have fitted a new rubber in the pvc valve but not sure weather to fit a catch can aswell, how much do they actually catch?
Have ordered a boost solenoid from badger5 and went on a mini spree also have ordered
Black fmic pipe work kit and also ordered some proper clips for the joints
Silicone 90 from turbo
Silicone coupler for turbo intake
8mm Ali pipe for coolant tank return
16mm Ali pipe for coolant tank feed
More 6an fittings and fuel line
102mm id proram air filter (it’s huge)
Silicone hose for vacuum
And arranged getting the 8 pot calipers posted for painting all while telling the misses I don’t need more parts good job we don’t have a joint account

I was emptying my catch can every 1000 miles. There would be around 50-100ml of oily watery liquid in it. I don’t plan of plumbing mine into the TIP on this build. I had been advised by various people including those in the motorsport industry that plumbing it back into the TIP means your engine has to burn it off, oil fumes naturally reduces the octane...... how much of that is true I’m not 100% certain. But I wouldn’t want my engine burning off the **** I find in my catch can personally. I’ll be venting to atmosphere, many are concerned with the smell, I didn’t really notice it with mine.

I agree, mine collects quite abit and it seems thin I’m glad I done that little mod after seeing what clogs up in all the pipes
