In the middle of exams now. Bit of waxing for stress relief.

Soon... Very soon my pretties!


Rx8 425cc denso injectors

Any particular reason you went with rx8 injectors vs. the 450cc RX7 ones most people use?

Well availability, price here, high impedance, age and spray pattern. Didn't overly research it but an easy direct swap with no mods for diypnp

I thought the RX7 ones were the same impedance?

And that's pretty cool, they look slimmer, still fit up fine?

The picture with the rainbow is cool!!!

Polyurethane filled mounts! The cheap way to firm mounts:

Painted and filled rear:


The front is installed, cba installing rear this morning! I've been working a fair bit so alas turbo progress is slow.

Also removed the AC pump, rad, fan, hoses etc. much cleaner engine bay!

Finally got the right adaptor for oil feed off the head:
1/8 BSPT (tapered not straight!) to AN4 (7/16 JIC UNF)

Not cheep, that is the right way to fill mounts! Looks great.

Cleaned up:


Rare sunny shot:

So I appear to have a B3S7 flywheel (same as 1.3 festiva?)


Today's work in a few photos!







My view for a fair bit of today:


Hours of work for this lol:



Not helped by A LOT of this:


So that's the horrible oil return job done. Alignment to the turbo drain is brilliant. Next step intercooler piping!

Oh yea and on Friday I also sorted out this disgusting sight:


And made this fit the B5 setup:

Not bad for a 1.5 for whatever reason its only hitting 6psi but that's feeling pretty fun right now

More on this tomorrow!

Nice result indeed, look forward to seeing more on this!

Cheers Sam! There are some strange smells going on, hopefully not my clutch The manifold has turned a pretty golden colour now.

Lets fookin hope not man! Mmmm do love hot stainless colours

Nice work!! That is about spot on for HP. Your mani should start turning a shade of purple if you go on some long drives. At night if you pop the hood after a drive you should be able to see it glowing red. Look forward to seeing more!
