Yeah we can get the ball bearing cartridges has to be a whole chra though

Oh right. I was trying to see if I could install a BB Cartridge in a journal bearing CHRA. For much cheap BBs.

 

[Freaky_Fish]

The whole chra is different along with the exhaust housing depending on what turbo it is

Great work so far mate. Get that rust cut out asap. Will have eaten through all 3 layers!!

 

[Freaky_Fish]

Thanks. Yeah im not too sure if to do it myself or not. I want to get it all cut out and sorted so I don't have to worry about it again

 

[charley]

Worrying about rust is good....means you keep on top if it, a bit like having lsd and thinking someone is talking about you.

Got the engine back in today

Also deleted the power steering cooling pipe

 

[charley]

I am so tempted to delete the cooling pipe but when i put me hand on the cooling pipe it was hot-ish and just after a drive!
Certainly not giving it the bean's either.

 

[Freaky_Fish]

Im not sure how much difference it makes as its in front of the rad and behind the intercooler

Looking good

Dont suppose you have an n15 driver seat available mate?

 

[Freaky_Fish]

Got a bit more done but spent ages looking for the top rad hose. Coilovers are next to be pulled apart and pre load re set

 

[charley]

Are they bc coilover's? and your brave not protecting the thread's with tape.
My bc's collar's were seized even greased up beforehand although i blame the previous owner for that lol

Edit--looking good by the way, good work! i like it.

 

[Freaky_Fish]

Yeah there bc's. I always use copper grease on them and never had a issue luckily apart from they need new top mounts already. I say already probably 25thousand miles on them

 

[charley]

I was unlucky i guess.... if i knew you could buy collar's, i would have cut them off and apparently alloy and steel bind and sieze over time.

 

[Freaky_Fish]

Got all the wiring finished up in the engine bay

Ready to assemble

Done

Really want to crack on with this but don't seem to get enough time in the week

 

[raycer]
