ibiza k04...gt28rs soon to be (PICS)

[PhilW]

Wow, thats close, you need to keep an eye on that when your on full load to see if it does hit the bulk head.

Lookin good tho.

 

[cupra_matt]

Looking awesome mate, iam off to work now to fit my cylinder head and turbo, so will get pics posted later,

sorry i didn't reply last night hooch, i was at a wedding and left my phone at home.

Oh and by the way there are no markings at all on the silicone hoses on the intercooler kit.

 

[ibizacupra]

is that gumgum exhaust type sealant on the turbo to manifold sealing face?

 

[h17och]

something of that sort bill yea. not much on it tho just a smear

philw...wot u mean? check engine doesnt hit bulkhead!? got uprated mounts so it shouldnt

HoocH

 

[h17och]

cheers matt...im just getting black for now and getting blue made at a later date

 

[ibizacupra]

the worry about using exhaust sealer paste on that sort of joint is if it cracks and falls out = blowing

 

[h17och]

it was a real good seal with out anything (i put a torch inside the mani)

so the paste is just so the is something there, with out it i guess it would just leak when cold then seal up...time will tell

thers is finally light at the end of the tunnel!!

[PhilW]

Happy days, comin on great now.

How come there looks as if theres loads of room at the front of your engine? Mines seems pretty close to the cross panel.


Nice HUGE filter btw.

 

[h17och]

philw...in 1st pic theres no front end on...hence loads of room lol

plus no a/c

 

[wild willy]

Awesome, cant wait to see it in action buddy, whatever the outcome, both are supreme machines... sadly got a feeling yours will be slightly more supreme when finished tho

[David_smith_909]

good work fella, makes it all worthwhile spending all that time on it then finally seeing it in a "nearly" finished state

im not jelous at all

 

[h17och]

spoke to DP man 2d and he hasnt started matts dp yet. so with the probs matts having and it slowing me down, weve scrapped the idea of him using same DP so im getting mine back this week

intercooler didnt turn up 2d

 

[cupra_matt]

Thanks for helping me out mate, even though it hasn't happened due to my problems.

At least there is no stopping you getting it finished.
