Well another and another heap of photos. Well passenger side moving the wirring done so I quickly had a look at cooler piping and luckly I just turned it 90deg from were it ran with the old low mount set up so I just have to change the join going onto the turbo due to the outlet being bigger on this one.

Image

then started movint the drivers side wirring. I should probly point out Im not trying to hide all the wirring just making the bay a little cleaner

Lol yeah that may have been on of 3 sets rear tyre that went on it in 2 weeks.

It only got put on to move it because my mate has my front tyres on the front of his tyres due to his being stuffed and needing a set for the front of his for drags

Well had some spare time yesterday and went and started getting some price for the rest of my suspention/steering set up first lot of price I havnt had a chance to shop around yet but heres what it is so far

Nolithain steering rack mounts $44.95
Nolithain steering joiner $66 (but i Might just make a brass on up)
S13 Tien Tie rods, rack ends and extra lock spacers $250 (to go on my inport 31 steering rack)
Whiteline strut brack $240
Whiteline front swaybar $220
Whiteline rear swaybar $240
5kg springs for rear of Bi6tim $300

Just gota get some price on S13 to camber tops


Oh and I might be changing what ecu Ill be using due to Adaptronic have aproched me about doing me a good deal for an e420c with adaptor harness and 3 bar map sensor. So hopfly I can get them down abit more for a sticker going on the car next to the munro engerneering modz sticker.

Also Just after appionons on my idae for my exhaust.

Ive gota get the dump pipe re-done for the new turbo due to being high mount, diffrant flange and also wanting to get ride of the guttered cat thats welded it to the exhaust so I was thinking of going 3.5" off turbo to about half way along car or to diff (depends ont the price) then merging it back into the 3" fot over the diff and aslo so i can keep using my Redback muffler.

In thery when the exhaust gasse first come out of the turbo they are the hotest and as they flow under the car they get cooler there by shrinking so the 3 inch would be suficen will the 3.5 would flow more when the gass are still realy hot

Well finally did some more changed my mine on where the cooler pipping was gonna run and manged to shorten it by about 3inch and yes while it will probably not be noticeable every bit helps. Also drilled and tapped the waste gate line fitting into the turbo, started working out how to mount power steering and my dual stage boost controller. then put fittings in for turbo water line but that's as far as I got before I had to leave it
