START UP VIDEO:

Sorry about the video & audio quality but did it with my smart phone 2mp so cant really expect much lol

That run was without the radiator & instead to the intercooler we just hocked up the in and out of the engine with some thick pipe other wise it wouldn't start because it is factory intercooler & no exhuast

we got the fuel lines all done

went to repco to get about 10m of fuel line and for the efi fuel pipe they said $50 PER METRE :shock::shock: that would come to about $500

asked if they had anything cheaper and just got normal fuel pipe not efi but he said it should hold very good, and $280 for new lead set :shock::shock: decided not to get that as of yet and to shop around, facet fuel pump was $175, 4-7psi & 132litres/hour

I love the sound of the turbos winding up when accelerating and turbo compressor surge when you decelerate seems like i might need a b.o.v cause the engine being generation 3 it runs 12psi boost :D:lol:

It really does move with the new engine pushes me back into the seat will be putting boost up to 16psi for a quick run down the road (stock 12psi gen 3) but the small turbos cant really handle more then 16psi or eles they blow then maybe look at a single turbo conversion depends really :wink:

thought i had blown the turbo and done some damage to the pistons, but all it was was that the flywheel had come loose haha, all fixed and the engine is back into the bay.

have just droped the setas off to get retrimed in a cream vinyl, including the front ones :)

now what do you guys think, have the whole seat in a simple cream vinyl ?

apply a orange piping around the outside of the seat like this:

or apply a orange prping around the outside and inside where the material joins like this:

the back seat will me in matching cream vinyl is well with the lines going down the middle like the front seats....

what do you guys think ?
