Attachment 655732

Engine still needs a wash and some attention but all in due time

Attachment 655733

Meaty brakes and SSR wheels look lovely

Attachment 655734

After the wash we started stripping the exhaust side of the engine to take the manifold off as there was a slight exhaust leak and the seals have perished in the turbo so it was smoking quite badly.:(

Car should be back on the road in a week or two. Needs a good polish and a general once over and then I will be happy with it:icon_tup:

Thanks for looking guys will update soon

Nice looking car :)
Good luck!

Looks pretty clean; congrats!!!

Thanks alot guys.!!

Turbo has been diagnosed and seems gonna cost over 600$ to fix here in South Africa. So I purchased the same turbo same size wheels and housings just not the ball bearing type for $650 new:nod:

Gonna be installing it in a few hours. Will take pics of old and new turbo:icon_tup:

Please do! What's is the estimated power output with the current map? :)

Other than the engine bay is looks super clean. And i like the matching bike

That's an interesting filler cap.

Waiting for the old owner to send the dyno print out to me but he said 220kw at the wheels at 0.4bar boost.

New turbo is being collected just now and the fitment will commense today.:icon_tup:

Car was standing a while so engine is filthy! Gonna wipe the bay down today and give it a good clean:nod: The bike is my mates bike but yeah they match quite well :icon_tup:

Looking good!

New Turbo, and odds and ends
 

Hi guys a bit of an update for now..

Turbo was replaced as the turbo that came with the car's seals were buggered. My father and I tackled it ourselves one week and got it done!

New and old

Took the cooling panel plate that came with the car off as it looked all bent and cut skew. So we marked off some areas that needed to get cleaned up and cut more and got a new one made :mrgreen:

Whats up dude, good to see you on this forum.
Hope all is well with the car, mine has been a disaster so new engine arriving in a week then onto putting it in and redoing everything I did to the previous motor.

Sup buddi!! All is well minus getting it insured but might have found a place that can sort me out!!

Yeah shit bro stories with these engines and heard dodgy things about the guy who biult your engine! Atleast you getting it sorted leka now and will be boosting soon! I want full bridgeport as well :(

Hi guys been a while,

Eventually got the car insured and been using it :ylsuper:

Car has been going very well. Been to a few shows with it and to a Dyno day.:icon_tup:

The only problem i have come accross is the turbo oil drain hose is leaking so I am going to sort that out today

Car also went in to get screamer pipe done as the dumptube went back in to the downpipe when I bought the car.

Sadly we will need to modify a few things before it can fit.

Going to a photoshoot this weekend so hopefully they snap some nice pictures of the car. Also going to raise the boost a bit in the next week.

:wave:

Cheers for now

What did you make on the Dyno Bud?

Didnt put it on the dyno! Will go do a power run somewhere next week. Want to turn up the boost but not sure if I must without it being tuned at that boost

Going to a dyno evening later on will put the car on the rollers and see what power its making:icon_tup:

Dyno Graphs and Pics
 

Hi guys

Oil feed line from turbo to sump has been sorted!
Also raised the boost slightly from .4 bar to .6 bar!

Later that evening decided to go to a dyno evening to see what figures the car is making

Nice car... I highly suggest you replace or eliminate that stock AST and make shift coolant neck cap, Its a disaster waiting to happen.

What do you suggest I do?

find one that is made out of metal. Tons of aftermarket options. Search AST in the classifieds

Hi guys been a while

The car has been running so leka im very happy with it! Gonna turn the boost up soon though[emoji1]

I also got stuck in to the boot the other day! I had to throw the biscuit spare wheel away as it woouldnt fit over the BBK! Got a spare 18" wheel but now the boot carpet wouldn't fit over the wheel so made our own boot carpet.

Did the ducting for the oil coolers in black the other day as the aluminium colour looked kak

While I was at it I sprayed the mesh in the sideskirts and the fender in black as the guys who sprayed the car didnt remove the mesh when spraying the car! Looks waay better now!
