so did he get the turbo's mixed up??? or did he pull his finger out in the end?

Looks great mate, good luck with the install!.


PS i commend you on being able to wait to install it... i would have done it without hesitation hahaha

He contacted me first thing this morning.....picked up this afternoon on the way home from work.........would rather take my time with installation as this can be very fiddly, mainly with the front/rear coolant lines and the exhaust fitment.

Plus I still need to purchase lubricants.

ahh yeah tru, you should do a video of the first startup.. so we can all see/hear it

I would do a video.....but my sister in-law borrowed the camera and didn't return the bloody charger!

Plus I don't have an Iphone or a digital camera that takes movies.

ahh damn that sucks, i used to document lots of work with cars in video. was just a suggestion

I'll see what I can do.

Couldn't help myself........turbo assembled and manifold/exhaust touched up with flameproof paint (drying)............ready for fitment.





Will be running this weekend.........can't wait!!!!!

haha knew you wouldnt be able to wait ..

Looks brilliant! would have been good to see the motor fully assembled and out of the car with turbo and all..

hopefully the fitting and all the lines don't give u any grief!

Looks better than when they were new. Going to be awesome taking it out for the first time. Nice work!

Hey Andrew! looking amazing! Really glad you got the turbo done and fitted, WOW! bet you are one happy man. Remember i'm just round the corner if you would like to document anything on HD cam. You know those vids will stick around! Would love to get a 'resurection first key start up' on cam..... could only imagine the amount of suspense eagerly waiting Let me know if you need help with anything Andrew, i'm free for a while.

Thanks Adam,
Got the engine running tonight.......settles down to a smooth idle........very happy.

Sorry about the quality.......just a shitty camera.

Wow didnt even hear the car turn over!!!!

Thanks Adam.........had a noise when turned over......found to be the cam cover rubbing on the cam gear (you can see in the video)........need to speak to Grant for a replacement as this one is warped!

Have run the engine till hot tonight..........ECU has come back with error code 6 and 1.

I understand the new oxy sensor needs to be hot, but now I'll be looking at wiring as it won't clear............code 6 wasn't there before, but with all the cleaning I'll need to reset the TPS.

That thing couldn't wait to fire up. I've never seen a 1.8 not need at least 2 or 3 turns to get going, especially when cold. Your starter motor took the day off. Must have that engine sealed nice and tight. Good work and thanks for posting up the vid.

sounds good , your getting pretty close now

Got error code 6 to clear tonight.......error code 1 (oxy) is driving me nuts..........I have noticed once held at revs the LED stays on.......when allowed to idle it flashes again until the thermo fan comes one where it again remains "on"............I thought the LED should turn off?

Mind you the engine idles as stable as.

After running the engine on water I have replaced with coolant............plus the bonnet is now installed.





Just need a cam cover as alot of beer and oh hell turned into this:
