The aluminum plate with all the electronic will be located under the passenger carpet . I run approx. 9.5 C/R with the pistons, bloc, head and headgasket I use .

looking really nice. one suggestion you should get some of that rubber weatherstrip edging to put on the cut edges of your wiring plate so that the wires cant rub and get damaged

Some progress
Wiggins clamp on the intake + drill hole for the water jet and air intake temp. for the ecu .    New 70 mm throttle body with wiggins clamp  The turbo received also the new clamp  I don't plan any numbers right now , the limit will be the turbo and also the tranny. With the new child, the full time job and the house I can only hope and try my best to complete the project . More pics soon.  |

Hi there .... So slow progress . I have to '' steal '' every minute I work on car.
Exhaust pics      The '' cut and weld '' method was very time consuming ... but the result is superb ! ( and the sound too !!!) The plug an play wiring   Relay box relocated just in front of wheel . ( I know , the idea was from coomer)  Almost all the wires are now relocated.  Hope next update will be soon .... hum .... it will !!! Claude |
