Long time no update!
This was still proof of concept, but you can really see how it's working. I still need to cut out the windows in the final version.
steering wheel and STi gearknow are now in!
Engine assembly
Timing belt on
TGVs were all scaley and ugly, so decided to paint them
Got My IAT bungs, EGT bung and BOV adapter welded up
Realised the JDM twin scroll headers are different and at an angle - my headers were LGT headers with the JDM flange welded on, which also explains the problem I had getting my stupid inlet pipe on - the turbo was at the wrong angle. Probably also explains why the oil inlet cracked. Fortunately Rising Sun Subaru had a bracket in stock, and shipped it to me by the next day for $100.
Got the headers and the accessories on
FMIC on
degreaser gun and pressure wash the engine bay
Turbo on! Had to cut out some of the support bracket for the water line (because it's a garret type core, the water goes in one side and out the other, not like the IHI cores which are in/out on the same side.
This damn bolt wouldn't come out, so I had to get the extractor on it.
Flywheel on!
Gearbox and clutch on!
More work
Uh oh - The oil sandwich adapter with the thermostat is too big to fit.
But if I add a gauge sandwich plate (which I've ordered) it works
Tune is booked in for the 8th Of August, so I'm trying to get everything done!
Still waiting on a new EGT sensor, because I lost the olive from the first one, and adapters to get the BOV return to go in (after which I'll put the intake manifold on)
All the fluids:
