The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

[Moo]

I've not finished stage 1 yet and already stage 2 is planning itself

Isn't that always the way

Good results with the polishing I should get you to do mine

[ashley]

Yeah the polishing looks good, gonna have to get on and do my strut braces I think...maybe my boot as well

No sir, I wouldn't deprive you of that pleasure

Which bit of your boot, or the whole thing?

[ashley]

Unfortunately I pretty much need to do the whole thing if I do any of it...charge cooler, boost pipes, swirl pot, fuel lines, oil cooler, boot floor and side inserts

[Magic Beans]

A few more bits done. Despite Photobucket's best efforts to prevent me logging in

Tial wastegate first. Before:


A spot of Autosol and polishing later


3076R before. Which was already in pretty damn good condition



Scrub scrub scrub and you get



Pretty pleased with how the turbo came out, for just an Autosol session

Still the Radtech core to finish though

It's pretty damn good as it. Although a bit of effort and you'd get a near mirror finish, which would look awesome in there!

+1. Would look epic with all that gear in your boot proper shiney but what a mission!

That turbo casing has come up lovely You're knocking these bits out at a fair old rate. Seems you got the shiney bug too

That and a deadline looming. The pipework I'm less worried about, as it can come off afterwards. Once the CC is in I plan for it to stay there.

Booked in to see Ryan @ 2Bar on the 11th June. Bit of a drive down to Surrey though, which concerns me a little because of the differing map situation

You're fitting the new stuff then driving it down for the mapping session? I'm not an expert on these things but as long as you take it steady and stay off boost I would have thought it would be ok as the new ECU was mapped for that turbo and injector setup. Somebody more knowledgeable than me will advise you accordingly on that one I'm sure

Just thinking, what clutch you running? Man enough to cope with the new setup I hope

[Magic Beans]

That's my theory but I'll definitely being driving all casual like, on the way there at least

There's an HKS racing clutch in there apparently. Heavy sod and no fun in traffic! It's good job I go biking to keep the leg strength up

[Magic Beans]

A bit more done. The love affair with polishing is definitely over

Induction kit ready to go


I opted to sand the CC down, as using the kit would have taken hours longer than it already did



Some polishing done and an Autosol finish. Not a mirror finish but to be honest you'll not see it, when it's buried away The crap like and photo doesn't do it justice too.

Before



After



The pre rad is done too, so all that's left is the pipework and some general cleaning.

Looking good!! Since your taking it to 2bar tuning. You may aswell go to 2 bar ;0)

Haha, I'd rather not risk putting too much stress on the engine. The last thing I want to do is put all this time and effort in and it go up in smoe

[Magic Beans]

The house female is busy doing Queen related tasks, in preparation for an influx of people this afternoon. So I took this as an opportunity to get a few more bits in order, ready for the bid day later this week.

All silicon has been cleaned, clamps etc. The pipework is partially sanded, in preparation for a full on polish and shine job. Also boxed up all the various elements in a logical order, to hopefully ease installation. A few of which are:

3 Bar MAP sensor


TRD thermo


Sard 800cc injectors


I'm also toying with the idea of disassembling the Hand Commander for the PFC and incorporating it into the DIN slots somehow. Not sure if this has been done before and how easy it would be? I know 100% now I'm not going to run any ICE in the Mule, as well you just can't really hear it

[Magic Beans]

Power FC cleaned up (I couldn't help myself ) and ready for installation


TRD rad cap
