Charged up the battery and took the car to the workshop. Wasn't expecting to start working on it until Saturday but we got a small start on it.

Are those APR brake ducts? Did you run the full kit with hoses etc to the rotors?
If so can you post up pics please?

They screw straight in without having to trim the bumper or fog light mounts?

One day down out of a two day weekend of engine changeover.
Came across a few minor issues that slowed progress. The o-rings on the zero lift TGV bodies are too small to sit in place and require a lot of stretching to adequately fit. The other issue is around fitting the turbo which required some grinding to the turbine housing where it sits on the up-pipe as well as the bell housing. Some pics. |

More issues today with the fitment of the turbo. The three inch inlet aims way to far towards the TGV and is too close to allow a silicone pipe to bend around them. Awaiting a reply from Eiji to see what he suggests.
Options at this stage are to cut off half of the compressor inlet and then run a 3.25 to 3.0 inch adaptor. The other option is to buy a 2.4 inch front housing and get a matching silicone inlet hose. I would prefer to keep the three inch given the grief that I have had so far. |

But at least the new engine is in.
