| not updated for a while but engines now fully built up after finally recieving my astra vxr injectors fuel rail adaptor and fuel pressure regulator then put the engine in, hadto get pirtek to make me a pipe up for my electronic power steering. engine went in fine, fitted it without the turbo and manifold then put that on after engine was in place. cut and welded the gear linkage and got all 6 gears first time i set them!!!!
moved the rad forward and across about 2" to get the pipes from the intercooler to fit each side, fitted a 10" slimline spal fan.
fitted all my front tie bar spacing blocks to clear the f28 6 speed gearbox
few pics
bottom arms spaced out 
used the m-tech conversion parts 
new injectors
astra vxr blues 
regulator with gauge 
engine in place 
new cometic exhaust manifold gasket 
intercooler in place 
butchered an old bumper 
weekend work included
fit carbon bonnet
fit gsi fogs in front bumper
painted bumper black
washed and hoovered
fitted turbo timer
jobs too do-
relocate battery into boot
mount saxo electronic power steering pump where battery was and wire up
fit new 2.5" scorpion exhaust made from escort cosworth system.
pick up some vmax evo 5 305bhp chips
buy a dash 31 actuator
and fit a boost controller
then hopefully should achieve 300bhp
then just need to find some 16" track tyres that will go on without scrubbing!
couple of pics from today      | |
