work progress update..... lotsa pics
i reworked the LHS W/G merge and removed the flange as it was hitting the chassis rail.
both sides pretty much done. one small niggle with the LHS, the W/G pipe touches one of the header pipes, needs to be remedied.
am pretty happy otherwise, although the weight is a bit of a worry.
will have a brace of some sort to both collectors ones ive finished the alt and PS mounts....
RHS
LHS
hmmmm oil drains next then out it comes......

Nice yellow turbine housings
Looking very good, can't wait to fly home and take a ride in it!!
I told ya that you'd need a good brace on it, make it a nice stiff triangulated solid setup!
Keep up the good work <was looking for a man love smily, but failed in my search : > mate!

Time for an update,
turbo oil returns were mocked up and the engine was plucked out,
engine in all its nakedness:
PS bracket and modified fan pump housing:
Next is the reverse alternator mount, will be a bit of a fiddle, especially the belt tension adjustment.
the PS pump is from a Vectra (GM Holden/Opel)
Alt is from a carona of some sort, i have managed to keep the 6 Row belt,
unsure if there is a 6PK belt this short, if not ill just use two 3PK belts
Tilton hydro release brg is on its way from the US, hope to have that all set up and the adaptor plate doweled and a final machine to make sure the plate is flat. then it can go back in the hole.
Hope to make some loud noises next month.

progress report...
after much farnarkling around with the bellhousing to get its from .015 runout to 002" runout......
the engine went back in,
am slowing reassembling all the exhuast work, will trial run the engine to heat cycle the headers and stuff with turbine housings only (NA)
will also work a few bugs out at the same time without running boost
adapter plate manage to get a nasty .008" warpage in it. i can only attribute this to lifting the engine and box out of the car as one unit,
the box its damn heavy and i think the bending stress took its toll on the adapter plate as 50mm of the plate is unsupported but either the bellhouse or geabox mounting flanges....
as a result i am installing the engine in first then the box.
Im confident the adapter plate can handle the weigth of the gearbox in a sheer situation without a problem.
pics.....
adapter and release brg:
clutch:
bellhouse and adapter:
hair dryers and engine back in the hole:
8.8 grade caps screws to hold on hair dryers:
more hair dryers than a hair salon......
a shot from the under side:
i hope to have it going in a few weeks without alt or ps or anything that will get in the way of me removing the manifold once they have settled and hte paint has cured.
then i will heat wrap them and machine them flat should they warp during the settle in.
aaahhh, youtube vids next i hope.

Hey Gasman
the flexi pipe is 1.5 inch ID
i got mine from a place in dorkland city called Woolf Mufflers $76 a meter
there is a place called south dorkland called Chase, they also sell it but i dont know what the price is. its made from 2 very thin layers of stainless and is a real bitch to weld.

UPDATE:
gearbox is in, clutch is bled and pedal stop adjusted. (its like standing on a marshmellow, very soft but not without feel)
drive shaft is off being shortened and having its end changed to suit the T56.
fuel lines are starting to take shape, need to find a nice Y block to split the feed to the two rails.
should start on the ECU install soon,perhaps this weekend.
driveshaft yoke an easy reach to aid clutch pedal stop adjustment:
master cyl and bleed nipple:
engine bay as of tonight:
oh what a glorious noise it will make.....:01:

Update......
Manifold top half on:
Modified T56 shifter....
Fucked up drive shaft measurment caused the modified drive shaft to be a lil short.....
FPR, very nice holley unit, works well and holds residual line pressure unlike some aftermarket FPR's:
fuel system coming togeather:
ECU installation in OEM position:
Had it running today, runs like a haunted shithouse, missis under the slightest of loads... will have to nut it out, but will take a vid tomorrow and post it on you tube for you all to watch,
it sounds horible, loud and obnoxious without exhuast system...
sleep time,
Daniel.

I not sure about a catch can...
when its fuming at its most it will be under boost so the pcv valve wont be open.
as for the breather in the RHS i may direct that into the exhuast.
Drove it today,
Clutch is quite civil to use and the engine has enough power just off idle to get the car rolling.
lot of chattering from the gearbox tho due to the clutch having no sprung center.

poor quality video with an unstable camera man:

Now to pull it the exhuast of and heat wrap it... fun....

update......
exhaust all came out to be wraped and rocker covers came off to be painted and new gaskets to be installed....and a new cambelt as the old one suffered when i de-greased the engine..
all back togeather...
Drove it to work which is about 10 mins from home on open headers. bit noisey for sure..
exhuast fabrication... twin 2.5 into a 3.5 merge pipe then split back into twin 2.5 for a pair of hot dog resonators and a pair of larger resonators in the factory muffler position.
center section:
rear section:
taking priority in my workshop:
undercar shot of resonators:
butt shot (and a small msg for a friend who said 2x2.5 is a restriction):
and todays effort, engine restraint:
my haste to make 4 into 1 headers resulted in clearance between the header and RH strut tower being minimal, normal engine mount flex allows contact. not something i want realy....
more vids to come of nice silent exhuast system. this is without the turbo so it will make even less noise once the turbo's have been installed.
ive always admired the way euro car makers can get sub 500hp from their V8s but remain so very quiet. audi V8 turbo's in particular.
hmmm, think i might search on you tube for some......
