[LiamTye]

hi all

at the minute its chrome and was thinking about painting it white and getting a black sticker made up like the original writing on top on it

here is how they look,could someone photoshop it in white please


does anyone know a list of parts i will need for the conversion wanna get most of the bits before i give it all to kent car craft for them to fit it

so far i know i will need: fiat chinky rad,st205 sock which i need the part number of,st205 support bracket which i have the part number for

any help with pipe work would aslo be gratefull

your better off using the st185 rubber sock as it doesnt need to be modded to fit.

That's my engine bay!!

It's changed a bit since then...

[LiamTye]

it is i pinched the picture lol

[LiamTye]

km...just been told i may have a problem fitting the core i may need to move the bit that goes to the throttle body hosing as i have a rev 2 but see you do aswell so was wondering if you had any trouble fitting it

did you use a st205 sock or a 185 as im going to be ordering some bits for it soon

i got a few part numbers just wanna make sure

got part numbers for the sock,throttle cable bracket and support braket for the throttle body

[-:[KM]:-]

It's the ST205 sock...

I've done a few now. All I do is extend the holes inwards to line up with the throttle body. If you look closely, I also taper the Allen bolt head (x4) to accomodate the rubber better. You'll have to look at the photo infull size...

told i may have a problem fitting the core i may need to move the bit that goes to the throttle body hosing as i have a rev 2

Which 'bit' are you talking about?

[LiamTye]

i was told i may need to move the pipe that goes to the charge cooler from the throttle body if that makes sense which would mean cutting it apart which im not keen on but glad you put my mind as ease

when connecting the dump valve do i just need a bit of hose and thats it

do you remember what sort of hose i will need and how much to do the rad and pump etc

[-:[KM]:-]

Cheapest hose I found without stealing it... enough for 3 CC installs!!

And for the bends...

... to stop the hose kinking.

[LiamTye]

not sure on the yellow hoses but could get some black lol

ill show owen at kcc this post when i take the car to him so he knows what i will need

will you see the hoses or is it to go from front to back of the car for the rad and use the celicas hoses

ill get the link up for the charge cooler i bought so you can have a look

Yup... use the black celica hoses in the engine bay and the yellow underneath where they won't be seen..

Don't go chopping any sock or CC away.. I do warm the in & out pipes underneath though, in order to put a 1/2" extension and twist them slightly to miss the coolant casting.

[LiamTye]

just a thought but the 90 deg bends you put up are bigger than the pipe how do you fix them

im going to order aload of parts from mr t tomorrow and pop into screw fix and get all the stuff for it saturday

how is the charge cooler held down do the fixing points on the charge cooler line up anywhere on the engine

[karammander]

one of the mounting points come close on the cambelt side but the other two you need to get rid of since the coolant housing is in the way. they in and out pipes i found i needed to trim aswel as the cam cover breather, (if its a rev1)

cheers karam

p.s. these might help but not sure.

[LiamTye]

karammander...nice one cheers mate,a nice one one just what i want mine to look like

where have you mounted the over flow bottle thing

so is it just held done by the one fixing point then

trying to find something to cover the bottom with like heat sheild,looking on demon tweeks now cause the stuff on it now has seen better days

[LiamTye]

ive found this stuff will this be alright to use,im guessing by the look of it you just pull it back and stick it on

[SFLee]

dont forget , you need a charge cooler pump, and a water expansion tank

[LiamTye]

i have the pump and got th expansion tank,its a tiny little bottle isnt it

[LiamTye]

bee looking more into this and have read a few people have been putting temperature sensors in the front for the charge cooler

this is the sensor i will be using as reccomended

got to get something from maplins to convert the power sorce from 12 v to 5 v and wire it all up

was thinking on the plastic bit by the gear stick in the middle at the back and use bullet connectors so i can unplug it should i ever need to

was told about this for re lagging it as its falling apart at the minute so this should be suitable for the job and should have plenty to do it all

is there anything else i should need do you think to do the job thast not mentioned
