My 2012 R32 Project

[skinnynphats200]

Have been quite lazy lately and haven't got as much as I should done on this over the last couple weeks, an update none the less!

All the bits I had on order arrived so I got cracking taking everything out and fitting the new stuff. Got tein tension rods from driftescort which I have to say are mint! cheers dude. And got all the braided lines and fittings from murrays, which are really good quality but were €200 at "trade" apparently, not happy



Started with turbo, injectors, replacing rocker cover gaskets and all screws and rubber gromits with the stainless bolt and washer kit I got. Everything out and 1 rocker cover done


Went at replacing all the head studs as 1 had snapped and to no surprise another 2 snapped off when taking them out! After 2 hours of cursing they eventually came out....Can I just say that easy outs suck!!!!!! big time! Was also surprised how clean it was when I took off the rocker covers too, which is unusual for a 20+yr engine, normally you find a bit of gunk in there at least!

Made this for the turbo as the fitting is different


Have everything back in now and am just waiting on new injector plugs to arrive so I can put them back in and fit new fuel reg as the rb20 ones don't fit the sard's


Have the inside of car stripped too. I removed all excess wiring from the looms, removed all the windows, cut out the doors, cut out the rear parcel shelf/panel that is in the 14's and 32's and have most of the sound deadening off.





After talking with a few people I have decided to run with the standard tank and scrap the fuel cell idea for now and just run a swirl pot and external pump with the standard tank.

I'm hoping to have all suspension and steering stuff...extra lock etc sorted before xmas and have the polycarb windows in too so I can get it mapped and start driving again and then put the cage in, work on the bodywork and paint it at a later date because I am going to need seat time to get better if I want to do PD 12....Hoping to be out on track before the end of Jan......Hope everything goes as planned! Peace!
