Quick update, got the wastegates plumbed back into the downpipes again. I had new flanges laser cut and just tacked them in position enough so that I can remove the downpipes and get them properly welded.

 

Removing the old heat wrap was nasty!

Is Titanium heat wrap any good or just use the normal wrap?

Lol, not worried as long as they stay in place when I take them off and weld properly. I'm not doing that though :)

Found a really helpful guy on Ebay for the stainless steel flanges I had laser cut. Emailed him a CAD drawing and I received them within 2 days, good price as well I thought at £14 each.

I would use the proper titanium heat wrap Mark, it can handle double the heat of regular fibreglass wrap and is also easier to use and doesn't itch your skin either. Also with the fibreglass wrap you are infact meant to seal it afterwards with a special silicone based spray for it to last.

Nice progress. I love the details on your setup.

 

I hope to see the beast in flesh once finished.

 

Are you going for an ethanol capable fuel setup?

 

Thanks Luc, no ethanol yet, just want to get it running with what I have as I bought the complete fuel setup off Lee. I dont mind updating it again in the future :)

Thanks Kaan, perfect answer I was looking for :)

How's things going Mark?

 

Going well mate thanks, I must try to find some time to update the build thread. Not been on here much recently as too much going on at work :(

 

Nice build this, did you buy new stock top mounts for the kw's?

 

No mate, just used my old stock top mounts which were fine :)
