Looking good. Need more pics though. And some specs.
cool.. rb'ed s13
Good luck with it mate, I know how much hard work and hard earned cash is involved. lol Fair play.
just some more pics, i was thinking the clutch was going to be hardship, can't get to the bolts on top of the gearbox the engine is a tight fit it the s13 had to move the engine out the way, but it all worked ok
the rest from the clutch and the cam's out, tomei 256 one's going in
it all started well today, big turbo, big intake, cam's were in last night, all was looking good
it all went a bit wrong then, or more intresting anyway, the intake don't pass the clutch master cylinder so it had to be moved, the turbo exhaust comes out right at the abs servo,
I am possibly completely wrong but could you sping the turbo 180 deg? ie intake at the back. It'd be easier make an intake a bit smaller than an exhaust. The inlet to intercooler pipe may fit between the manifold and block. Then have the exhaust come forward and then down around underneath. Either that or remove the ABS and try and relocate.Originally Posted by stiv
EDIT: I should point out I'm no too good on turbos and the way they've to be fitted etc...
Lol!Would hate to go through the hassle of moving everything around...

took the abs off don't no if i need it it didn't work anyway, bent the clutch master cylinder out the way, starting to get there, also had to move the fuse box out the way of the throttle, i'm still waiting on the bigger one coming, but that is not a big problem,
hell of a job your taking on there pal, you doing it all yourself?
i take it you've checked out this thread:
http://www.sxoc.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?t=110234
that thread is my car before i got it, the engine was in the car, just didn't have the power it shouldso i'm making some changes
, it will be worth it i think, and yip i'm at it myself, some think to be doing
ahhh
started on some more bits that are going on, oil cooler and oil catch tank, oil filter relocation up on wing some where,
had i bit of time still waiting for some parts getting here so i started cleaning up the rocker covers, they have a long way to go but starting to look better, made a start to the ecu having a ca18det and a rb25det loom in the car ands a bit of fun when putting another one in
got some more bits in and fitted up the heat sheld, have most bit now but the rest would want to get here soonor i'm
for the r/r, the thorttle body got here today look as if it might do bit bigger than the rb25 one,
I'm just glad Martin's rolling-road can handle up to 1000bhp!- Just in case, I think we'll put you on last!

well if it make's 1000bhp you'll get a look at the con rods, because they will come out the side of the block, hope it lasts to the end of the year till i get the stocker kit for it
