RIP

Our old 1600. Not my fault, honest officer!

A shape appears from the dark.

.....but needs a new roof.....

.....and some work inside.

We pulled the engine out to install the turbo. It's now complete with a T28!

This shows why it's important to drill the sump in the right place.

A shot inside the sump. Notice the position of the drain for the turbo.

On goes the balanced FM lightened flywheel....

....and the ACT XT clutch too.

A quick shot of inside the bell housing. The clutch release fork and bearing need to be installed before it goes back on the engine.

The polished intake complete with plug and play injectors, Jim B dual feed rail and an Auto throttle body for variable throttle position.

'No Jim, you can't drive it yet. It hasn't got the intake manifold on!'

These are the connectors we're using for the MoTeC loom. Very high quality, OEM looking.

The manifold's on! Notice the new injector loom that's been made up.

This is part of the coolant re-route. The thermostat is moved to the back of the head to allow the coolant to flow evenly through the engine. This pipe feeds the heater matrix.

This is the new thermostat position at the back of the head and is routed back to radiator under the inlet manifold.

A new front mounted intercooler is fitted

The last thing a bug will see.

Lowering the engine into position. Quite a steep angle is required to clear the gearbox.

Finally back in!

It's all coming together.
