Right.... took a couple of pics today of the turbos, but then had to get to guildford so no work has started yet. As you can see nothing is bolted up, infact there is hardly anything installed yet, but thats because i need to stick gaskets and the like in place.
Is there much less to do other than water,oil feeds and tuning?
Looking forward to seeing some great results and hopefully a powerful and realiable vr4.
Do you need to relocate the radiator?
yeah... The rear turbo had to be clocked, so need to fab a bracket for the actuator. The fuel feed lines are done, but the return and regulator ones need to be put in. The Injector wiring needs to be finished off, EGT guages wired up, The std induction pipework doesnt fit so needs to be modified, air filter's and piping rigged up individualy for each turbo. Other than that, i think its more or less just putting bits back on, oh.... and sorting out the map2 wiring(it's in a bit of a state).
Oh..... i forgot.... no the radiator remains where it was, but the small fan has to go. Keeping the big fan, and putting 2 10" push fans where the air con rad was.
I like how you've done the manifolds
manifolds look very pretty
Just thought i'd put up a couple of pics of the front manifold off the car. As im looking to ask another favour.....
Short of mitsi, does anyone know where i can get manifold gaskets from?

£40 from camskill. I havn't seen them advertised anywhere else so far
They do look nice. Can they take the weight of a TD04 hanging off them long term though?

what about some photos of the car .............feck all the manifold stuff

looks sweet not much more to do then. Should go like stink. You VR4 guys are privaledged, youve got far too much room in that engine bay
Are the 3 primaries all the same length on the manifolds?
