DodgyRog Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Looking good mate, looks like I need to find the Power steering pump really soon. I will see if I can just get the bolt bit that was damaged on yours if nothing else and we can swap them back over then, as I dont think there was anything wrong with mine anyway. Think it was just an air lock in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to give Stuart at Teignmouth a shout tomorrow, he said he had knackered a few pumps, so was hoping he hadn't bined them, I am happy to swap them back over, just let me know when. I am doing a Gearbox and Diff fluid change next week and sorting the Cat out, so fingers crossed the squeky/screech noise goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barneybrendan Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 another sunny day ,so i descided to weld the chassis leg back up.managed to do another support for the charger bracket.Now need some box section to make a spacer coming off the back of the charger so throttle body clears the engine mount. Just waiting for the clutch to turn up now so the engine can go back in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barneybrendan Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 had to make some flanges and adapter for the bypass valve today,as it fouled the engine mount with the charger on its side.the inlet port on the charger is rectangle so had to make it out of box section. the bypass valve now needs the alloy tube welded on the fitting so it can be welded to the out side of the charger.Need to get the pipe sorted out for the intake so i can sort out where to put the throttlebody,but think this will have to wait until the engine is back in the car. Going to clean the box section up tomorrow and paint it along with the main charger bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SupraGTE Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 you will need a tensioner for the belt for the charger, maybe you can make the bracket slightly adjusable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 you will need a tensioner for the belt for the charger, maybe you can make the bracket slightly adjusable? i have a manual tensioner that needs a bracket made for it,but going to see what its like without it first.At the moment i can only just walk the belt on and its about perfect tension,bare in mind the belt will get tighter as it spins.

Keep it up, i have ordered some good weather so you can get it back in the car this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
