Been busy today finishing off the Nos installation.
First job get all the piping in the right place. Took a T out of the fuel line from the pump - there was already a handy join in the pipe so just T'ed in here ...

Needed to make sure it fires in the right direction - i.e into the engine and not back up to the intercooler!0

Next on the list after New Year is wire up the back of the block (alternator & starter motor) and then start plumbing the water and inlet pipes.

You think those manifold nuts would fit an eight valve exhaust manifold? Be good to use with mine as they would be easier to fit to prevent damage to my nickel plated manifold.Quote:

Can't see why not as they fit standard sized manifold studs. I'd get some now as they seem to be getting harder to source I am led to believe :confused:Quote:

Quick update, been off work for a week with a nasal passage infection - not pleasant. Anyway back to work
tomorrow and as I have been feeling tip top today I have been busy sorting some jobs out.
Got a replacement pipe (from Roose Motorsport in blue silicone) for the back of the water pump and also the
pipework that lives under the inlet manifold. WHAT A JOB getting access to these!
Anyway after a lot of grunting and moaning I have got them fitted :-
