AGREED.

Well... the engine mounts lined up... probably because 3 of them come off the gearbox... which is FTO

And will you fags stop whoring in my thread!

So they use the same gearbox as an FTO?? And can you do a manual conversion from the gearbox in the halfcut?

and another noob question..
what are the chances of being able to do the conversion on a Tip FTO ( & not have it shred to pieces ) Is the Tip box strong enough for it, cause I think I remember reading a thread somewhere that says they're tougher than manuals..?

Oh Gawd... every piece of information you just asked for is either in this thread or the Danny & Jeff thread

Guys, I've tidied up this thread. Im trying to keep this as a progress thread, so if you have questions ask them here:

Some piccies of the new collector pipe.

This was originally the collector pipe from my old RPW extractor set. Its been cut & reworked to mount up to the turbo dumps

how much was the collector/dump pipe

hey ben ive been reading your threads and hows your project going? r u almost finished?

come on Ben give us all the updates

Just waiting on some piccies to be emailed to me, then I'll update

Don't forget some Vidio as well Ben when it comes to tuning it

As promised

All plumbing is just about finished. Next stage is wiring which we'll be doing later this week. While thats happening, Im doing all the little tidy up bits & peices. I'll be running lines & setting up the battery in the boot, mounting the thermo fans (when they arrive and no Mitch I dont have the part number yet) and I'll be generally tidying up lines & other wiring. Generally getting her looking good. I gotta go out to SSS Automotive & pickup a nice shiney plastic '24V Turbo' engine cover too

Once the wiring is done & loom in its final place, then the last thing we do is the plumbing from the turbo inlets to the pod filter.

Some piccies of some very nice hand made piping:

Front turbo dump to exhaust collector pipe



Whole engine bay view



Left hand side of motor where turbo feeds join & run to intercooler



Rear bank



From intercooler to throttle body

that's beautiful man..

..elegant in it's simplicity

hey ben on the drivers side have you moved something that normally fits in the hole you have used to put your intercooler piping through.

How much for the piping already done mate or the drawings hehe.

that looks so good man

The existing hole there has been cut out to make it larger so wiring & piping can fit. PS resevior also had to be moved in about an inch.

Dunno about price, Im not paying any more till its finished.

god that looks hot
that A.I.M. is really going to be polished now to match in with all the other pipe work

Looking real good ben.

ok sweet though their was sumting their before haha. Ben mate the piping looks perfect mate job well done. Now hurry up and get the rest finishd

piping looks tip-top, and u've even managed to keep the a/c
