Well had a productive day yesterday. We got the engine on the new mounts, fitted the new servco and master cylinder (had to chnage the pipe end for the new master cylinder), made all the cooling and heating pipes up.

We then realised that the intercooler was never going to fit as it was too wide so have ordered one that will work we hope. Also fitted the downpipe and got the o2j cable shifters all mounted up. sits perfect so just going to cut a thread in the top of this so we can still use the mk2 gearknob.

Some pictures:

New servo and master cylinder:

Engine just in:

Engine tidyed up:

Looks better than this now as we have all the pipes sorted. And have a good idea on what pipes will be needed for the intercooler. A few eveings this week should see it all plumed up and then we will sort the elctrics out

Where are you running the electrics out of the bay?  OEM they go under the brake servo, which is ballache.

[Dave-iow]

will be running them under the servo. have left the servo lose in the hope it will give some extra wiggle room when we wire the loom into teh fuse box. Hope to run it as oem as possible

Well makeing progress slowly. Had to order another inter cooler as mentioned, now have that mounted behind the grill to the slam panel after lots to trimming and trial and error but wanted it to be in the best position for cooling.

With the intercooler mounted have now been able to order all the stainless and silcon hose's for the boost. So hope by saturday it all arrives and we can then atleast have it fully plumed up.

Think i have everything needed to finish it and will be getting on and sorting wiring next week.

Pics soon

Radiator and fans, what you have planned for those?
