a few developments
after seeing very high oil temperatures, is was necessary to get them cooler, the new turbo will help, but is was deemed necessary for a bit of cooling help
finally the oil cooler arrived
along with the filter relocator
and thermostatic divertor
a load of braided hose
and fittings
managed to find somewhere to put it all ! , its getting a bit tight in there now
after a lot of measuring, dismantling and cutting its in
have sore hands, that braided hose isnt very skin friendly


divertor is located behind the chassis bar

a little bit of tidying and tying up, and another job done
hopefully this will keep those oil temperatures down !
other developments
the turbo is having a new exhaust housing fabricated
this will allow the use of an external wastegate to allow more consistant boost levels
obviously nothings straight forward, in turn a new manifold is now being fabricated along with a new downpipe to accomodate the external wastegate
as they say, Rome wasnt built in a day

Good work Barrie
The stainless over braiding is quite abrasive and can "saw" through things, so it would be worth while considering spiral wrap for the hoses to protect peripheral components.
PLEASE tell me you have connected the remote oil filter pipes correctly. We saw an engine seizure a couple of weeks ago due to a garage installing one of these incorrectly by not realising that there is a one way valve inside the filter.

yep all flow and returns checked
will be double checked, then triple checked when the oil pressure meter is connected
the filter head, the divertor, the adaptor plate were all marked with arrows
the hoses will be secured and where necessary wrapped, youre not kidding about it being abrasive ! my hands are still sore
