Oil return pipe, managed to get a male -10 turbo fitting on where the oil drains back in the pan, had to slightly file the holes to get on.

I'm sorry guys i just couldn't stop doing it ha

Right so hooked everything up tonight bar the exhaust. I didn't hook the oil temp up yet but the water temp, oil press and boost were hooked up, only the water temp worked might just shot these gauges as i'm sure i've connected it all right.

THought i had ****** up the bee*r up aswell as there was no red light or owt on start up so i thought **** great, then gave it some revs and it sprung to life. Seriously those videos don't do it justice the bangs were loud as ubik.

Anyway post multiple runs i checked for any leaks, one of the braided hoses on the return line is very slightly leaking, hardly anything is coming out but going to take it back and get it replaced its leaking where the braided line gets crimp to the fitting if you know what i mean.

Put the down pipe on but didn't bolt it up as i wanted to see what was happening staight out the turbo, curiousity. Just used it to channel the bangs ha

Right got some pictures of my oil return and some vids of the exhaust connected up.

This is the turbo oil return going into the block, used a turbo oil fitting flange, had to file the holes a bit to make it fit onto the studs.


Just a picture from under the turbo, you can see the turbo oil feed with the T piece adapter where the oil pressure sensor goes.


Now the exhaust fully connected only revving to 4k still

I am currently trying to sell my bbs le mans 17" wheels and if you know anything about rims you'll know these cost **** loads to buy new. COuple of years ago i saw many places selling them for £4k, £2.5k these days though. Had loads of watchers on ebay but didn't get to the price i was happy with

What are you asking for the BBS wheels? Have any better pics? Specs on them?

[cloqwise]

Sorry wheels already been sold.

Well, to put it simply, she's cooking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got the wheels bolted on and away i went, the exhaust esp when the screamer opens is extremely loud, been driving round base, already put anohter 30 miles on her ha. Seriously its so loud haha i love it can't stop grinning
Temps are in the 70's when moving, oil is just below 80 when up to temps, all is looking good on the temperature side of things.








Sorry the car is filthy

[bsamps4]

is one of your pistons backwards?

[cloqwise]

What do you mean?

[bsamps4]

It actually appears that three of the pistons are installed backwards....if you notice the picture when the cp pistons are still in you'll see that the large reliefs cut in the pistons are on the intake side. Cylinder #3 is installed correctly, but 1,2,and 4 are facing the wrong way. I'm no expert, but I just pulled my motor apart, and if i'm not mistaken this is an interference motor.....I hope you haven't bent any valves

You can see the reliefs here in this picture

[presure2]

its not an interference motor, but yea good catch! looks like the 3 of them are backwards.

[cloqwise]

i've like done 4 build threads and no one has spotted this! Will get these turned round next oil change! Cheers for that

[bsamps4]

I hope it isn't too much trouble for you to get those turned around. Would hate if the motor had to be removed in order to do it.

[cloqwise]

I can do it all in situ and it gives me an excuse to check everything, plus i'm going to change my apexi head gasket 1.1mm to the apexi 1.5mm. It will be a big job basically taking all the engine apart but i can get it done in a day or a weekend and i had already ordered oil and coolant as i had one or two tweeks to make. Either way mate it needs to be done and you have done me a favour, i'd get you some beer if you lived here its my first build anyway so it helps a lot in what to look out for if i do it again, needless to say i wont be missing that again

[bsamps4]

Post lots of pics!

[cloqwise]

I will mate.

[bsamps4]

I'd recommend using the ATS racing gasket. It's a 1.2mm. They swear by it, and judging by your build it would suit you.

[Kingsoup]

Great Build thread! I didn't even know you could put pistons in backwards! Crazy!

[cloqwise]

Had it back together for a while now, sorry i didnt take any pics but i was trying to be as quick as possible and the sump was a bit of a pain
