New Toy.... Dturbo project.

[Lego Jon]

Ok... I've decided. This is the worst car ive ever bought.
That is all. Lol

[Lego Jon]

Hi guys.
Another question for you. Can I straight swap my dials/cluster for another set?
I ask because the led displays are failing on my odometer, the rev counter doesn't work and I'd like to have a full set of working clocks.

[Toms306]

Yeah, just plug and play, the milage is stored on the clocks though.

[Lego Jon]

Bugger.

[Lego Jon]

So...
My question today is, what am I missing re pipework to fit the fmic?

---

[Piggy]

Wow...bet that set you back a few pence!

---

I'd say some tools, a drill, few bolts and plates to mount the FMIC and a big ass turbo to make it all worth while!

---

(Got a new inlet manifold gasket too?)

[HDi--Power]

You kind of need to try and fit it to work out what you are missing!

[Lego Jon]

Tbh piggy no, not too bad.
Hmmm... try and fit. Lol.

Are there any salvageable parts on the car already?

[HDi--Power]

you might get away with the silicone coming off the turbo if you have a pipe to fit into it, otherwise..... no

[Lego Jon]

Hmmm...

[HDi--Power]

What exactly you need depends on the route you take and how friendly you get with the grinder

[Lego Jon]

Lol. I guess it's a case of getting it on a ramp and looking.

[HDi--Power]

I would personally start fitting more than looking if you dont need the car for a few days, easier to get exactly the correct bits that way

[Lego Jon]

Its a daily so thats out of tge question tbh.

---

Fitting the ic itself might not be a bad idea though.

[mr_fish]

Depends how long you have...I would get the cooler mounted first, then if you have time get the pipes up ready to join into the turbo/inlet.

[Lego Jon]

Think thats gonna be the plan you know.

[Lego Jon]

Well I got as far as plumbing in a boost guage. Cars pushing a whopping 10psi. Im sure I read stock was 14 so im down on poke.
Baring in mind that I've only got a lucas atm I've read that 18 is safe, anything north of that is bosch territory.

---

Oh cba with mounring the ic, it got dark and cold and im a pussy. Lol.

[barney]

Sweet

[Lego Jon]

All my front mount stuff is up for grabs, 120 + post. :-)

[devils_fuel]

Nice motor mate, looked like mine when I bought it

[Lego Jon]

Well, she's gone. Taken as px on a Bmw 328i Cabriolet.
Ic set up still available.
