Images broken but I chased the last one and I think it's a pair of cams?  Must be big plans indeed! @_@

I have a gremlin that we;re trying to sort. Besides that the car runs and drives nice. We've done a little street tuning and it looks very promising. :D

Not a huge update, been to bloody busy with work and having plans made for me while I'm away by the wife al so the 35+ degree days in Perth. Not fancy enough to have air con in my shed (yet)

One of the fun perks of running brembos is making sure your spare fits, I was failing in that department. So went out and picked up a cheap Gumtree spare.

Came home with this

And some how these

So it would seem, this build has gone from some simple intake and turbo improvements to a little more serious. Looking forward to seeing how this go in the car with the new turbo and exhaust setup. If I don't like them, I know a green F6 that would possibly like to try them out :-)

So fixed links

Don't use IMG tags like normal forums, just paste in one by one the direct .jpg link and press enter.  Wait a sec and it should appear as an image, replacing the direct link text.

 

Sucky system, I know.

So a little progression has been made, things have stalled lately with other priorities going on.

 

Finished the intake conversion, there was a couple of little curve balls that Fraud had thrown my way namely this awesome engine oil cooler setup

Talk about an awesome after thought, the issue is that the factory pipe that runs to the thermostat housing fouls on the new manifold. Off to Ford to see what factory option I could use before I go braided line etc.

Factory FG manual piping, while it is a little different it just required me to cut and flare the end so that the pipe would not slip off. OCD kicked in and with the way the hose sat in the thermostat housing I wanted to have it clamped, thank you CAT P-Clamp sourced

Manifold installed and all buttoned up, I will say one thing Sanjeet from the Ford Electrical Harness plant has brought dishonour on his family for this electrical master piece. My OCD is going to play havoc until I hide it completely or re-wire the engine bay.

Speaking of dishonour Sanjeets brother Kuldeep needs to remember when you drill 4 holes to mount a throttle body you should also tap them

Other than that, FG manifold conversion is complete

LOLs were had!

 

All this work at the front of the car seems unbalanced now.  The rear must be feeling left out?
