Small update....................
Got some powder coating done !
Only the compressor housing remains now , I will be dropping it off on friday
I am now in the process of getting her ready fro start up , I discovered an sorted leaks in the fuel system (loose hose end fittings , mis-aligned fuel rail , LEAKING FPR diaphragm !!!! and one pin hole leak in a hose!)and engine coolant system (loose hose clamps , one gasket to make and install) . I re-routed one engine oil hose for neatness and better visual apeal , so now I need an additional 3 feet of -10 hose and the local speed shop is fresh out !
. After completing this I need to complete all my electric system checks and ECU terminations then it'll just be a matter of re-programming for the new injectors ..............
More to come !!

Sorted ! the turbo to manifold V band joint wasnt made up properly , I'll put up another clip so that the true exhaust sound can be heard.
It's not weird , it's custom ! seriously though , my FD is a JDM RHD one so I sit on the opposite side to you guys , the ACCUFAB throttle body opens when its pulled to the left so I put together a linkage system to reverse the action when the throttle cable pulls from the right. I also run a mechanical OMP , so I needed to find a way to lift the arm of the pump as the throttle is opened , my set up does it al l! I'll put up some pics when its completed , waiting on some 0.25" round bar stock to finish it up.

Hi all ! sorry for the slow updates , I have been a bit preoccupied with another major project (managing construction of my new home!) , then I found myself having to cope with a couple work related assignments and re-assignments ,then I had to find and fix several issues with the FD; firstly there were a couple of small but irritating fluid leaks ! , then I had to complete all the interior wiring and re-install my dash , thank god that's been completed !then the importer who I paid for a pair of racing seats brought everything else from Japan but my seats ! I discovered that the leak on my exhaust was due to a damaged waste-gate which had to be painstakingly removed and put back, luckily it was easily repairable and didn't cost anything to do , then finally the upgraded 929 brake master cylinder I used decided to leak very heavily without any pressure on it! luckily Ray sorted me out with a replacement in quick time .
Eventually with limited time and lots of patience I got it all fixed and ready to go .......... then an opportunity presented itself and BAM ! (thanks Si! ) another upgrade !!!!! changing the turbo ......AGAIN !!!!
Present from Tial , brand new GARRETT GTX 4508R !!!!!
The car as it sits right now.
