Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

Well got loads of bits sorted today and its all ready for its first fire tomorrow barr a few bits.

Hopefully it all goes well! Then loads of fiddly bits to get done still including the ecu wiring, intercooler etc.

Worst bit of today was making a oil return! its not pretty but it will do till i have chance to make something nicer! just hope it stays on and doesnt leak.

its been a long time coming!!

roll on avon, once it starts i'll get it booked in for a RR the week before avon!

just came in after getting everything turning over, working pretty much as it should but no spark

then realised i'd dropped a bollock and instead of putting power to the coil, i put the relay control wire to the coil so they wouldnt actually see any power! doh!

oh well easy mistake to rectify. maybe later if not try again tomorrow.
