Time for a small update (more to come tomorrow and through the week)

Spent a little time this weekend on the car, mainly looking at the dash for now, whilst i await parts ordered.

On that note i am pleased to finally be able to say i have ordered the injectors (which are currently being flow tested), Resistor pack, fuel rail, organised fuel line supplier (once i know specific sizes/lengths when i decide where my FPR is going) Also ordered from BL the oil line kit and T4 flange gasket.

I have the manifold heat wrap, and clips, i simply now need to actually confirm the order on specifically sized fuel line, sort an air filter out, buy an ECU, get it mapped and fit all the bits once they arrive (ought ot be a week or less now!)

A few piccies for the meantime!

This was my engine bay before hand...



and currently as of today










and one from a mid december test fit, half polished comp cover etc.



Most parts are test fitted ONLY at this stage so in the event of glaring errors, please only PM me to let me know so as to keep thread clean and not make me look like a fool

Main items completed are

Twins removed
Intake and lower runners removed
Vacuum tank and fuel press. dampener removed
Engine bay cleaned, sanded and painted black
HKS DLI fitted
lower intake runners bead blasted
RLTC fitted, digi adjuster sunk into dash, Defi controller sunk into dahs, 6 AEM control buttons sunk into dahs, AEM AFR guage sunk into steering column shroud, new defi in car Fuel press guage fitted
Polishing and chroming of inlet manifold, comp cover, water elbow (incl trac removal and water 'nipple' removal)

All i really need now is ECU, fuel lines and to finally fit it all (yeah right )

I am setting myself the reasonable target of JAE being its first major show, hopefully after some short journeys to ensure its all ok

Keep these updates coming mate. It's always great to read about these big upgrades.

Good work.

Thanks for the update Rob, interesting reading, continued best wishes with the build.

[RobSheffield]

Pretty much all the parts have turned up now, big thanks to KevO for sharing import duty and shipping

Most of the parts arrived today, im only short a few clips and bits now, so ill be getting on with getting it all fitted up over the next few days.

Tonight i soldered my injector pig tails and resistor pack into place (pics to come tomorrow), removed the stock fuel line and routed my new -8 braided line front to rear, i then refitted my newly cleaned and polished HKS suspension and refitted the wheels and took the car off the blocks its been on for the last 6 months!

To say im excited is an understatement!

An obligatory parts pic (NB not all parts are pictured )

[Kev.O]

Can't wait to see the progress pics Rob. You're doing a great job! Thanks also for sharing the import costs.

[Mike_Mac]

Shiny!!

[Barney]

Oooooooh shiny bits, nice

Seriously Rob, it's shaping up to be a great build, can't wait to see the finished job, like Kev you deserve something special with all the hard work you have put into it.

Will be watching with a keen eye, continued best wishes.
