I can afford an engine crane, it's that I don't want to have to afford one especially if I can borrow one.

Handling wise I've got full kw coil overs and whilst the engine is out and I've got access to the subframe will do the front anti roll bar and rear too.

Looking forward to it.

I've been out there tonight stripping everything back, removed induction system, battery, coils and loom, charge pipe upper boost hoses. Going to get the front end of tomorrow bumper, cross member etc.

Does anybody know if the K04 oil and coolant lines need to be kept in order to attach the GT30 lines to the engine & coolant system?

I know the coolant feed comes from the block, oil feed from the oil filter housing, oil return into the sump but not sure on where to attach the coolant return pipe?

 

[ibizacupra]

the flow and returns should be to the same points as k04... the lines however wont be anything like the same.

make em up

Thanks for the help, but I've got a strange feeling the coolant return line needs to be butchered to connect the new one?

 

[ibiza_95]

the new return line should be a banjo on the back of the turbo and then just swings round to the front just at the top of the block (Unless you have an electric water pump then it will go to there i imagine)

 

[ibizacupra]

not butchered no.. modified

 

[grahams81]

Just been working out my coolant pipes James and my original turbo coolant line joins to a plastic y piece next to the cambelt cover just upstream of the Expansion tank.
Mine is a LC though, LCR maybe different i think they run a pump to keep coolant circulating round the turbo after the engine has shutdown.

 

[james.l]

Thanks for the input people, I'm sure it will make a lot more sense when I come to installing it all. Just waiting on the engine back from the builders then I can start piecing it all back in

 

[james.l]

HELP!

I'm in desperate need of someone who has got a scrap 1.8t head with cam caps, my engine is nearly finished but my cam cap at the cam pulley end (the double one) has gone missing and need to find one ASAP to try and get it line re-machined for the head! Help please?

 

[james.l]

managed to get one sorted,

 

[Dan1720v]

Where are you based? If your in Somerset I have an engine crane you can borrow?

 

[james.l]

Got the car booked in at Badger5 for the 9th of March to have the last finishing touches made up and then mapped.
