Sure it can can you post up some pics of your fmic piping taken from top and side before you fit it for me? Would really appreciate it

[Scuba-Roo]

Yeah mate no worries

[Adam]

Legend! Cheers. I'm gonna tackle making a kit in a few weeks I think.

[Scuba-Roo]

Where abouts in sydney are you? you can use my kit for templetes for a few days or something if you want

[Adam]

I'm in picton, you are in Newcastle yeah? Pictures should do it, I want to try keep my factory intake so it's really just a guide as to what bends I need and what orientation to start with

I'll keep the offer in mind though, cheers!

[Scuba-Roo]

yeah i am but going to sydney seems to be a weekly thing for me now lol.


i'll be able to spare the intercooler piping for a week or so, but it wil be made for the twist mount set-up.




Just waiting on a seller to give me details so i can pay for stainless steel EL headers, is that enough of an update?

[Adam]

Pics will probably do anyway mate really appreciate the offer though! Hot side will be completely different anyway.

Couldn't think of a better way to spend a monday afternoon so with the help of Grant we got stuck into this Aid wagon.

As parts starts to come in, its time to get started. So we removed a few things


and then it was almost time for the engine to come out, didnt need to worry about gearbox cross members, dump pipe bolts, it was all a bundle of a fun



And i forgot to disconnect the boost gauge, whoops maybe i should install some LEDs so i can see it next time?



Heres an engine on an engine stand



heres the wagon being put to use



heres some outback


For how much the clutch was slipping the clutch plate doesnt look that bad.


Pretty excited to start removing the dash and the loom, not to mention stripping the engine down, then putting it together with the single turbo stuff, good thing i've done it before and know what i'm doing, ahwell it should be lots of fun


should be fun to drive when it's done but


Anywho MASSIVE MASSIVE thanks to Grant (KNG02L), for giving up an afternoon of watching his missus make handbags to help me out

[Scuba-Roo]

Gonna give the engine a good clean in the next few days, so to stop anything going in the heads where the intake manifold sits I just finished making these plates.


Just some metal to the dimensions for 70x210mm with 4 holes drilled in it


Got some rubber gasket material and cut to suit




With some short M8 bolts it should work much better then rags, or tape
