Hi, again hardly any updates from me... Sorry about that.
fixed the OPC, so that was my first few months of the year and had to wait for some parts for the Kadett's engine I had ordered.
In the spare hours I've been struggling with the wires (again..)
Had to install a central locking and also placed some extra fuse "boxes" for the gauges etc.
Did not wanted them to be to visible, so fitted them on the back of the mid console.
The parts I received last few weeks.
Tial wastegate
Owen Developments modified Garrett with a Zircotec coating on the turbine housing
Ordered some parts to start with the downpipe
Last week a package from Nortech Performance came in.. Big runner C20LET manifold.
Unfortunately the EGT boss is on the wrong place (thought I had more room) but I will weld another on it.
It is quite a manifold.... Really quality work, but the engine bay is toooo small haha.. Had to remove the radiator to get the manifold in.
But not worries........
Test fit of the parts.
Next thing is I need a cooling fan..
Bought 2 smaller ones today and got them in. (don't ask me how.....) So need to temporarily fit the cooler and fans so I can start working on the downpipe etc...
When the downpipe is finished, I will send it to the UK together with the manifold to get it Zircotec coated.
Well that's it. thanks for looking.
Till the next time.

Top work as usual Roger. I have been meaning to ask you, when you fitted the non genuine rear quarter panels which brand did you use? Was it MM Dronten and how good was the fit? I am wondering if I should just use full new quarters so that way I know they are all new metal

Thanks guys.
Can't remember where I bought the non genuine panels. It was not MM Dronten. But there were not many manufacturers of those panels so it were probably Klokkerholm's or something like that. Must say the genuine ones fitted almost the same as the non genuine ones, except that the genuine ones have the rear vent part in it.Last edited by Roger; 19-06-2016, 01:22 PM.

small update.. again sorry for not finishing the car yet haha. I really need to go on with this because it is taking to much time. Not much text, just photos.
Fitted the EGT display. I think is nice and small like this. No fancy Christmas lights for me.
The oil breather can.
What do you do when you buy a new Wastegate? Take it apart. (for the zircotec coating soon)
Starting with the downpipe. Will not finish it till it is coated. I have troubles sending packages longer than 1 meter to the UK. So when it is back from Zircotec I will go on with the rest.
Test fitted a Friedrich exhaust from a Astra F/Astra Mk3 turbo from an acquantance, but it didn't fit well, so build one myself. This is how it looked like. (to much bling anyway)
Powersprint parts are in
Fans fitted on the radiator
Got a new radiator hose made up by Roose Motorsport. As the previous one was not flexible enough for me. I needed more of a curl/hump in it.
Also the inlet pipe an K&N filter. There will be a connection on it for the dumpvalve return. I do not want a chavvy pssssssssss sound on it haha. After that it will be coated as well.
Well that's all. till next time.Last edited by Roger; 25-08-2016, 07:34 PM.
