not another red engine!!
Turbo Mini Forums

just thought id post a couple of pics before the engine goes in.
also need some advice on where to route my fuel lines in the bulk head. (see picture).
also a picture of my head that was done by morspeed, as benross was very busy at the time, and i needed it pretty sharpish. however recieved my head 2 weeks later than i was originally quoted, but managed to get a set of double springs out of simon for nothing so its not all bad.[img]

I'm liking the matt black gearbox and brackets

But whats with the oil transfer pipe? i've not seen one like that before.

cheers mate, just used the standard one that was on the engine originally.

'always keep a spare shot for a stray bird'

Was it an SPI?

yeah, well was.
cant wait to get it in an running

'always keep a spare shot for a stray bird'

I thought it must be, looks like quite a good pipe, I don't like the early one with the banjo and the bolt, seems like it might be a bit restrictive to me, I always pull them off and replace them with an oil cooler hose.

that sound like a good idea, i just used what i already had.
just dont know where to route them fuel lines was thinking bout bending them towards the angled plate and fixing there sumhow. unsure what kind of clearance i will have regarding the actuator.

'always keep a spare shot for a stray bird'

sounds like a plan to me, maybe see if they'll fix down on the bulkhead above where the subframe mounts.

Nice to see it in one piece again mate, If your looking to fit the lines tomorrow you can pop by mine if ya like have a quick look at where they go or just get an idea of clearance.

ok mate ill txt 2mora to let u know wen im cuming round.

'always keep a spare shot for a stray bird'

looks good, and let use know how long the black paint on the gear box lasts, as i once painted mine and it got so many stone chips ect on it, that i didn't bother again. Looks nice at the mo though :)

PMSL I KNOW what the other one was

are you planning on usuing the crank position sensor from the SPI setup?

was planning 2, can you see any problem with this?

'always keep a spare shot for a stray bird'

ahh cool... what ECU you using then?

standard spi, not connecting the injection system plugs up and hope it works. wired it up 2day and all works but havent tried for a spark yet? should be fine tho. but its well cramped in the bay now!!!
