jacko1066 Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Got a bit of a progress report the engine is all sat in and staying in now no need for it to come back out now haha.So far the top covers have come back from powder coating the turbo is bolted on, the wiring has been started , The intercooler has been bolted on to make the pipes , the charge/boost pipes should be made through the week and over the weekend along with the manifold, The ecu has been sent off for decoding so i dont have to use the 20v turbo clocks , The driveshafts should be made in 3 weeks they cost 270+ vat each !!!There isnt much room in some places thats why im glad of the fast road engine mounts.i keep saying this but hopefully it will be done for then end of may , the hold up has mainly been for parts etc now its all labour work to be done nowFingers crossed.... Heres a few pics anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

currie Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 mate - £270 plus vat you are getting 'shafted' if its not too late speak to john at dave mac propshafts in coventry.i was quoted around £175 a piece for custom shafts, and that was using f1 quality steel that they guarantee to 600bhp..

karl Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) mate - £270 plus vat you are getting 'shafted' if its not too late speak to john at dave mac propshafts in coventry.i was quoted around £175 a piece for custom shafts, and that was using f1 quality steel that they guarantee to 600bhp..Its not the quality of the steel shaft you need to worry about its the joint that give up when abused, standard spec shafts are fine with regards to the 600 bhp bit that means nothing as torque kills them .
