I have a little bit of progress....
i cleaned the interior (half effort) i could have got it spotless but my little boy was dying to go for a drive so i fitted his seat instead!! pics attached
i also bought some lines and i have heat coated myself the exhaust manifold and the dump pipe.. i have heat wrap aswell.. and obviously the external gate needs to be plumbed properly.... or  i may have a screamer pipe set up hahaha.... we will see!
the SU carby is in getting overhauled to make sure everything is good fuel wise! pistons and rods, bearings and crank are ready to go... i may fit them into the block on the weekend? if i get time!
 
 

i just fitted the same oil return line kit too my escort, u may need a 45 degree fitting out of the oil feed on the top of the turbo so it doesnt damage the bonnet..  but looking good mate

wastegate must be run to atmosphere, its to nice a sound to waste. and everyone knows when they are in your way :)

Sundowner i see what you mean about the oil line! but i may get away with it? we will see? i am having issues with the oil return as i dont have much room between the manifold and turbo to run the return that came in the pack? i wonder if i can spin the centre without damaging the turbo?
 
Wastegate to atmo then it is! lol Mish your car has been some inspiration! love the look of it! good luck with your next tune!

yeah i spun the centre it tooka few goes to get it right but i also ordered a 45 out of the top (oil feed) just to be sure. hope these pics help a bit, love the car by the way... havent been in a draw through since the sigma turbo days..



sorry bout the skewif images

Sundowner! thanks for that! looks like i will be doing the exact same thing this week really appreciate the pics! and WOW my engine bay will not be anywhere near as tidy as that! the panel work on the van looks top notch! i look forward to seeing the end result and power/torque your engine makes!

Ty, what heat coating and technique did you use?
Thanks, Shaun

Hey Stan! yeah i cant help myself! lol its a curse! you should find yourself a 4 door rs! and stop playing with RC cars :-D
 
Shaun, you got me.... i did the VHT home job but i havent cured it.... i sprayed it then thought....hmmm how will i cure it lol!!
 
i will have more updates soon hopefully!

I had my car in a workshop today to get a rwc done and we confirmed that the diff is a skyline/borgwarner and the box is a 5 speed supra.
I am very happy with that news! and i got my rwc too!
hopefully i can get the turbo motor in, in the next few weeks...
