Nice project mate, really coming along well. Looking forward to seeing the progress

The sandblasting was kind of fun indeed. Too bad it was a slow progress and I was finding grid in my crack for days.. that stuff gets everywhere without a blast cabinet

I've been able to get some more work done. Coated the bottom of the car to prevent rust from forming. Something that easily happend with the dutch rainy weather.
As well as putting back the R33 GTST subframe and rest of the front suspension.
After which I cleaned some more parts such as the ABS unit and some brake lines.

But words are worthless without photos:

Now ill have to wait for parts. loads of parts.
Hope to have my C-West GT Widebody kit arriving this month. And the next months ill be in need of these parts.
Still finetuning the final list:

- ACT Xtreme Organic/OSGiken Twin plate RB25 Clutch
- Plazmaman/Greddy Intake plenum
- Haltech/Link/PowerFC ECU
- Intercooler
- Radiator
- Aeromotive Fuelpump
- Injector Dynamic / Nismo / Tomei injectors

And probably loads more to be ordered.
Aiming for 400bhp

[S15Cro]

This is a fantastic build, everything done right :thumbs: Any more updates?

 

[Texhnolith]

just posted my last photos in the photo thread.
Currently busy installing all parts which I gathered over the last time.

Intake plenum, injectors, oilcooler, intercooler, fuel pressure regulator etc are all installed now.
Need to work on some custom brackets for the radiator and oilcooler core to mount them.
And I am currently also making my own fuel lines with parts from EARLS Performance.

Still waiting for my 6Boost manifold which apparently has just cleard customs after being kept in wait 2 months.
