Well after several months of hdi ownership I bought the dt back!!!
Here is how she looked when I got her home
The cyclones are a bit of a mess but I still have the challengers so they will get bolted back on soon, they need balancing but there are more important things to do first......
Some may have picked up on the fact that I acquired some major Lobb hardware a month or so ago and it is now time to put it all to good use!! Yes thats his full charger setup and turbo relocation manifolds!!!
So, last weekend work began...
At my brother in laws (Matt who came with me to fcs) taking some before pics
Decided that rather than fas around with manifold bolts in the car it would be much easier to just take the engine out and work on it out of the car
Front end off, lining up the hoist
And it's out, the father in law and Matt standing around!!!
Empty engine bay!
More coming!!
The block with the td04 still attached
Proper manifold on!
Starting on the charger brackets!
Mental pulley setup which did get sacked off in the end to keep the power steering pump.
Then there was a bit of a gap in picture taking as the bttery died but go the engine back in last weekend and started routing cooler piping today.
And finally shiny turbo!!!
Thats where I got to today.
Still to do, wiring loom, exhaust, extending water pipes, turbo oil drain, sort something with the header tank
Thanks for reading, should be another update tomorrow!!
