Both bolts that go in the side of the box missalign by about 2 - 3 mm i only found out after putting the clutch and flywheel on so I'm not taking them off to fix it so the grinder is coming out tomorrow.

Gearbox is on and all good.

 

I don't need to get the broken bolt out now because its not going to be used. The engine mount for the inlet side has a alignment stud in the way and it needs to go where one of the sc mount are but it wont fit, i would post pics but my camara is licked at the moment

you cut that supercharger mout off :'( and grind the stud

unfortunatly if you want to play around heaps they will but alot of fiddling around would be better with the propper KE-TE ones either from the states or from the europion area, with have the plastick ends on them

 

My ae71 p/van has the plastic ends with metal in between, maybe you could look out for em! cause that means there around..

Ive got the exhaust side mount on properly as jason said I'm going to be cutting the super charger mount off and grinding down that stud tomorrow and then put the f@$ker in.

I got the motor in yesterday arvo.

 

I need to relocate the alternator as it hits the sway bay and i found out that the gearbox crossmember thread on the car has been floged out and i need to rethread it hopefully on Saturday. Since the gearbox crossmember can't be put on yet the gearbox is being held up with tie wire and a wheel brace.

Problem solvered.

 

I'm using one of the stock top mounts and making 2 bars for the big bottom mount and bolting it up where the AC use to be so it still lines up with the pulleys plus it clears the sway bar and the exhaust to be.

I have some photo's of the progress so far. i didnt post them earlier due to the computer not liking my phone for a while.

 

Looking good Des. :ninja:

 

Can't wait till its on the road and you let me drive it. :hmm:

When i turn the intake pipe around to face the front it hits the supercharger outlet any idea's to make it fit ?

Yep. You also gotta mod the supercharger outlet too.

Yep I'm going to get it cut up so instead of it point up and over the top of the SC it point straight out the front. But Xmas is sucking up the funds so it needs to wait till after the new most likely.

Havent done alot lately thanks to christmas but i have actually done something lately.

 

Cut the holes for the pedalbox and installed pedalbox and reassembled the dash properly, It took me about 5 - 6 hours to cut the holes and put eveything back together. I found a grinding bit that goes onto a drill, I asked the old man how much was it $60, A bit expencive but dam it does a good job made me look pro. Glad thats out of the way now.

 

I also got some stainless steel intercooler piping and a modified supercharger outlet today after work. The SC outlet is a bit rough so I'm going to take it to a mates place to clean it up and make it flow a bit better.

 

The SC outlet looks better than in the photo its just a bit rough inside.

 

 

Next thing on the list is getting the wiring sorted and TRD copies :hmm:
