1293 Turbo neon - Rebuild Pt2
Turbo Mini Forums

Thanks guys

Few little things to sort out:

Thermostat housing has a slight leak.
Dashboard needs refitting
New 2" exhaust to fit
Need a different oil feed t-piece as it fouls the intercooler now
Take it for a spin!

Fair play getting that sorted. You'll be competing against madmk1 for fastest engine strip and quickest engine out...

Well done! Bet you're excited to have a go in it now.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Don't say that!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.............. exciting

Went for a spin....... Came back on the AA van haha FML

Water feed to the turbo has either split/popped off/melted and pissed all my water out causing it to over heat. Hopefully i caught it before any bigger problems.

Good effort.

Back up and running!

Bloody water feed, piece of shit.

I seem to get bad leaning off on boost what can I do to stop it doing this?

Add fuel

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

BCA Needle as a bodge.

Would me fitting my new fuel pump help? Being able to supply more fuel? I'll try that needle Andy

Fitted a new petrol tank seal and now i can't get my Aston filler cap on as the seals too thick!

You need the short MPI style seal.

I have a new one same as this in garage if you need.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Massive thanks to Wil for setting up my suspension and corner weighting at the weekend. Top guy!

How is everyone else finding wheel spin on boost with the GT17 setup?

Mine is much better now that suspension is sorted out but what other ways can i stop it (other than being super light on the pedal)?

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a replacement gt17 actuator?

Looking to replace mine to see if i can solve the boost problems i had on the rolling road.




Also a nice shot of my ass doing L2B

Are you after a standard replacement or an aftermarket one?

Either will do but to keep costs down at the moment probably a standard replacement.

Moved into my first house just over a month ago now. Decided to make the garage as clean as possible.

Good work!

what I'd give for a decent garage at the house right now

I wouldn't look at any houses without a garage or space to build a garage!

Found out we don't have to sell the house as they both fit snug!

Damn that's tight!

Nice going... what length garage does it take to get 2 snugly like that?
