Just a heads up the tt filter is 8mm in and out so no use for 10mm hosing if you want 10mm fuel pipes best off with the land rover fuel filter head with 10mm banjos and spin on fuel filter.

If you like, just report all the projects that are inferior to yours and I will delete them for you. Can't have them stealing the show from you.

I found the TT filter has a nice lip (10mm) which the 10mm hose goes over nicely I've never had a leak or anything - but thanks for the heads up

Only issue I see with the gearbox choice... You'll likely find the limit of that clutch very quickly... Unless I missed that its uprated?!

Yeh; I've known this. 

This is all being done on the cheap. The original clutch isn't in bad condition and changing this box is a
Piece of cake...

Bit of fun

Hi. Looks like a tidy project this one. If you're mounting your turbo above the gearbox then mount it pretty high up, as I mounted mine a little low and have ended up having to fit a scavenge pump to speed up the flow of the oil returning to the sump. ...Luke.

Ah, thanks for the heads up! Will make sure I monitor the oil flow!

[ginge191]

So, update on this.

It lives and runs - sounds absolutely spot on (apart from a squeaky aux belt)

After faffing around with a new fuel pump after the previous one was no good...hooked it up, timed the engine up (thanks piggy for your method, worked the best) refitted starter motor, got the Mrs to crank whilst I bled the first injector and bam, it lived!

Having flange made up for manifold at the moment, then will set about getting the turbo and intercooler mounted.

Then get her on the road!

Makes it sound all so easy.....

Only on Facebook - excuse the squeaks!

[Eeyore]

Liar. Its on Instagram as well.

[Matt]

Love this so much. I can't wait for it to be on the road and then you can take me out

[ginge191]

Love this so much. I can't wait for it to be on the road and then I can buy it

EFA

[Matt]

Yes, that too. I want dibs

[ginge191]

Little bits done

First adapter plate made , 2 to go.
Suspension, shaft, etc fitted to N/S

Awaiting on some bits in the post now; few bits from mr fish as I've found the caliper bolts are too long from the OEM brakes so need shorter bolts.

And waiting on some oil from Opie which the courier has messed up.

[ginge191]

Todays update.

fitted rad, fans, all hoses - chucked some water in to make sure nothing was leaking and all water is holding which is positive.
Suspension, shafts, droplinks etc fitted on both sides - both TRE's are nackered so cracked those both, ordered replacements.

Also noticed, when fitting brakes - new bolts arrived but they're a fraction too long - thread is fine, but the thread on the hub doesn't go all the way through. I'll solve this with a 15mm spacer of some kind ...

Anyway, pics


First flange made and fitted, ready for movement of turbo:




On stilts - can't wait to have it on it's wheels!




a TIGHT fit - THIS is why I used the 205 oil cooler/filter setup. Also, notice the bodge on the fuel pump 






Slam panel, catch can, radiator, fan andengine in place 





C&C welcomed

[Frosty]

The threads WILL go all the way through. It's just with some brakes the bolts don't go all the way into the threads so the threads get dirty and then struggle to get the bolt to go all the way in. Best bet is to run a tap or thread chaser through the threads to clean them up then the bolt will go in fine.
