Star Silver 91 Gsi

Also get a twin pass intercooler, medium size no need for front panel cutting then, CraigGreen posted up a pic of his on a Gsi, fits lovely and looks factory font on as well

I've not got the spacer yet, it was posted seperate from the fanymould so it didn't get damaged.

The cutting won't start till I have every last panel I need, I'm heading to englandshire on Monday to pick up a pair of quarter panels :)

So once you have the quarters it's time to turn the grinder on ? lol

So when you get cracking / smashing / grinding / welding and maybe sleeping are we getting a daily update of your progress of madness and patience? :d

Not quite Edd lol still need to get a bettery tray and outer/inner rear arch repair sections and a gm front panel, once I have all the parts I'll lay them out and probably freak out at the size of the task ahead

southie, due to my shift pattern it'll probably be only 1 weekend in every 3 I could get a run at doing work on it, that's why I want every part I need so when I do get some time to work on it i'm not held back by lack of parts :)

Also a wee update

I saw this for sale and had to get it, those of you who have read the thread will know that I don't want a big block, I always wanted a turbo'd 1600 so thanks to Compton, bazil is well chuffed,

loving it matey some nice kit you got there!!

that looks like an FSE power boost valve to me... I would avoid, if that thing decides to run lean at the wrong time it could nuke your engine.

I've seen alot of folk saying the FSE is pants, in mikes turbo guide he uses a rising rate one, in previous old threads I've seen cream XE injectors used, so I'll be doing plenty of research before even building the engine, also looking at megasquirt and megajolt systems too, certainly the standalone looks a much better choice.

Standalone would indeed be like night and day vs standard management 'fooled' into thinking it's running something different, it's also a night and day cost though lol

Mike never actually got his running tho

When Courtenay converted the e16's the set the fuel pressure rather than having a rising rate one, Craig could tell you what it is I would think.
