well thats all i managed today, had a bit of a late start, and was knackered by the time it was dark

few runs and a few adjustments later

and.....it lives, :D

still quite a few more bits to go on, the oil cooler still hasnt arrived, hopefully it will give a bit more space, by relocating the oil filter to somwhere more assessible

Will we be seeing her again up Pod on the 8th? :winky:

would like to say yes

but im not sure, there is running and there is running safely, getting the bit in the middle done might be tight to fit in before the 8th

but you never know :winky:

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 :o

after a lot of measuring, dismantling and cutting its in :D

have sore hands, that braided hose isnt very skin friendly :crybaby:

yk278f.jpg

yk2785.jpg

divertor is located behind the chassis bar

yk2787.jpg

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 :crybaby:

as they say, Rome wasnt built in a day :lol:
