Right as the deadline is coming up quicker and quicker thought i would give you all an update...
After finally getting rid of that red piece of crap and selling bits i didnt need and keeping the bits i did it was time for the crunch....
Coming so close to near death experience in DTR towards the end of last year with my Brakes failing on me at about 70mph coming off a dual carriage way...

Luckly had just enough room and quick thinking to use the box to slow down..
After a bit of investigation i found out that the brake pipe to the ABS unit was snapped... So i fixed that for it only to snap again so i too the decision just to totally scrap the ABS.. So i will be using the Red FRST standard brake lines..
So it was time to finally convert DTR to TURBO.... so jobs i wanted to get done are as follows...
Loom
ECU
Engine
Turbo (T3)
Front Mount
Alloy Rad
Battery in Boot
Brakes
So here are a few pics of the progress as it kinda happened..




Here is my Newly painted petrol tank now fitted with Escort Cossie pump


Now its time to get the brakes and loom all sorted...

also get rid of a few bits i wont be needed too


After that was all done time to drop in the Turbo lump...



After the turbo was fitted up i noticed the Actuator was knackered so time to by a new one... Decided on a -31 Garrett but still used the old one so i knew how close the turbo was going to be to the Rad...
That was the next big task to fit the rad and the intercooler.. I brought a Pro Alloy Front mount of here they are a great fit with it mounting off the bonnet catch nice and central with a few bits vut off the valance the job was done... The Rad had to have a few brackets made up but it did all come together..... BUT it didnt leave much room for Cooling so did a few more measurements and found somewhere that did a 50mm thick fan so i decided to buy two 7 inch fans.

Here are a few pics of the Rad (has carboard cover on to protect fins) and Intercooler Mocked up....



As i have been doing this i have been buying a few bits as i went on such as some FRST & ERST hoses...

Also as the battery is going to be re located to the boot i will be using a battery box in the rear with FIA cut off switch in the engine bay


Well this is as far as the car has got so far so last few jobs left on the car are as follows...
Mount Fans,
Actuator,
Battery to Boot,
Boost hose from Turbo to Air Filter
Cut front Bumper,
Fit new Hoses,
Downpipe and Exhaust,
Service,
Thanks for looking please feel free to comment
Many Thanks
