Hi guys well its been a while coming but its finally here.

Thanks to Gav for the turbo kit i have finally got my self a Turbo kit, it arrived a few weeks ago, and some more bits and bobs arrvied today from a cheap guy off Ebay.

Unfortunatly not fitting it till Feb due to insurance, but im so excited i could burst trying to save for internal, but i think the fitting cost is SOOOO high thats what going to cripple me that and the ECU ahhahah.

Heres some photos



Nice Big Intercooler


Some piping and rubber joints


The Turbo with piece of pipe attached


Another turbo one


Filter which will be changed to an Apexi one


Exhaust system no cats anywhere to be seen




these are the electronic bits and bobs to make my car look like a space shuttle



Going to be running low bar untill internal are done, looking at 0.4 to 0.5

To do list - Coilovers
- Pod Holder (need to find SteveAudioX)
- Catch Tank
- Fuel Cutter Defence Unit (TDI sorting me out with a HKS one i think)
- O yeah and the FITTING hehehe (wheres Matt )

Nice one Elliott. Look foward to your progress mate. You'll love the turbo.

Who you going to go for with Insurance? I'm currently with Adrian flux but am now paying over a grand so I'm goin to try A-plan

Gonna try A plan as well got a while to shop around, got all these love gauges and bit sitting around I wanna fit them all now

Im just gonna order a sandwhich plate so i can fit the Oil Gauges at the weekend, how sad am i hehehehe


Does anyone know what size i need ?

You not going to modify the plate on the cooler?

still waiting for your phone call

Yeah adie i will or will get someone to but im not fitting that till feb, so till then having 2 pretty white gauges will do me, the sandwhich plates only £30 and can sell after it i dont need it.


I no Matt sorry i have been meaning to call, been trying to get overtime at work so sucking up it pays time and half lol

OK people with Catch tanks which would you go for.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Large-stainless-Gred...1QQcmdZViewItem

Not sure what size this one is tho as it only says Large lol
am waiting for email back

OR.....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/9-15mm-OIL-CATCH-CAN...1QQcmdZViewItem

Not a known make but has the correct size

Theres only a few quid in it so im guessing ppl will say the greddy one if its the right size

you need the 15mm size

Glad it all arrived safely matey!!!
A lot of work went into that kit so be sure to enjoy it all when it is fitted!!!!

Oh... and there is a cat replacement pipe missing from the pic of the exhaust. Just incase you hadn't realised.

Looks good

Yeah did realise mate just didnt add to photos

Well done Ellz ......... you'll finally be able to keep up with me, and hey, maybe even overtake me ... when we are doing the next convoy ! lol


Nice pics, didn't really want to see your toes though !!!!!!!

And as for insurance, what they don't know .... don't hurt them ............

Im shock you off all people would say that, how did the brum brum test go ?????

It sounds like it's gonna be awesome just be careful till feb cuz I was payin 1k insurance I'm 21, had 3yr NCB's then one mistake in the rain & ur screwed lol


Bet you can't wait to get started will look forward to the updates & get that Overtime in

did you say you needed coilovers,, welllllllll you know what im gona say lol.

LOL mate getting some TEIN Flex with EDFC mate, sorry someone else will have them im sure of it

OK fellas, im fitting the 2 gauges tomro, just wondering if you've got any advise on fitting the plate or wiring up defi gauges.

Any help/advise would be great


CHeers

............... life is sooo much better on 2 wheels ...........

Click to view attachment

Very nice can u get both your feet on the floor when sitting on that

Be careful fella they are dangeours if not treated with respect

Ok well after a few upsets 2 gauges are in and working i think

Heres a video (i forgot to stop filming at the end LoL)

Another vid in this one you can see and hear that the pressure drops down to under the 1.5

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPfQ149-5Io

Does anyone know what oil pressure a normal IS200 shud be running, after its warm on tick over its just over 1.5 but sometime drops below and the stupid BLEEEEP goes off when booting it the pressure reaches about 6.0

Is this right ??????

Ok i ended up buying the Greddy one as i knew it would be mint

And it arrived today all i can say is BLING so sos shine and very nice very pleased with purchase

Is it 15mm?

The outlet ??? theres 2 different sizes i hope ones 15mm lol

That a lot nicer than my dull greddy catch tank. Will look very smart.
Any sign of the kit getting fitted yet?????

In feb mate not gonna risk it with the insurance getting the coilovers fitted tomro with some anti roll bars

Gav can i fit any strut brace or will the intake pipe get in the way ???

Cheers

I am passing the centre tomorrow @ about 4pm.. I will pop in for a very quick 'Hi and Bye' ... It would be nice to meet you mate!

Hey people got coilovers fitted and TRD roll bars, handles like a beaut
get some pics up later

Measured the catch tank in and out lets they are 10mm and 5mm which is gay, will this be a problem thought they would be 15mm, so angry

Judging from the pic they are 9mm (only come in either 9mm or 15mm).......you need 15mm dude

I had the same problem with my first catch tank. Only 9mm. I've now got 15mm

will it really make that mch difference

is there a greddy catch tanks which has 15mm or maybe a way i could make this one 15mm ???

Flog it and get the 15mm version......maybe you didn't read the advice earlier in the thread which suggested the 15mm in the first place?

could easily drill and tap them out

hows your oil filter

fitting it this weekend barry cheers i owe u one.


Mike it was the only greddy one i could find on ebay and it didnt have the sizes on the thread i thought that the 2 sizes would be 9mm and 15mm gonna look into another one if not out comes the drill

I have a cusco strut brace fitted which used to hit on the TTE SCer pipe and airbox but it never touched the turbo pipe. The pipe connecting to the throttle body is a silicon bend anyway so it wouldn't matter if it touched.

Oh and Greddy do make a 15mm catch tank as that is what I am using but I don't know the model number etc. It isn't polished though.

Ok some photos of the coilovers and the Roll bars




Very Nice


Yellow TRD anti roll bar popping into view (thanks Gord)










Also fitted B&M short shifter very nice feel but a bit more hard work shifting. Have noticed noise coming from the gear shifter area is this normal on the B&M ???? sounds like viabrating or something ???????

Took her round the twistys today she grips like no ones business body stays nice and flat too, over bumpy roads the ride is pretty harsh might need to fiddle with the damping, over all very happy, now need to sort of the turbo

mine doesnt make any noise
try this:
take shifter off and where the shifter meets the gear box,
apply a small continuous bead of silicone sealant
then.......let it dry
then tighten the shifter down onto it
should stop the vibrations and noise

Very nice EllZ,

Those coilovers look fantastic..

With your shifter check the bolts are tight and if you didnt, use a little loctite on the threads. And as Bazza said just drill and tap the catch can..

Nice ride..

might take off the shifter and see what ive done wrong LoL, if i drill and tap the catch take will i be able to use any 15mm in let out let ???? If so where can i get these a nice anodised blue colour would look pretty nice

NIIIIIIIICE!!! Bet you're all over the place...




, I know, but what make are those brake discs (front / rear / both?)? And how much did they set you back? Are you happy with them?



Mine does also a sort of "whizzing" sound, like the one that can be heard from a WRC car when they show the in-car cam... I think it's actually quite cool!

@Ellz
Did you get the Hipermax LS oder the Hipermax II ??

Discs are DBA 4000 Gold series got them from TDI, there pricey tho about £250 for the fronts and £200 for rears they are good but fronts keep warping but think its due to the calipers.


RoadRash there hyper max 2 coilovers think u had similar ones

.... still have them.

Anti-roll bars are the nuts they completely transform the car.
Tasty looking coilovers too.
Good to see you are doing things the right way by preparing the car for the turbo first!!!!
