R5 GTT with F7p turbo (work in progress)

[James5]

Well I decided I had got as much as i could out of my C1j engine and therefore sold it on whilst it was working and opted for an F7p turbo conversion.

So I built myself a Forged F7p lump ready for turbo application:

C1J out





F7p Turbo in



Mock up





This is the last pic I took, since this all pipework and wiring has been finished.

I am just struggling to get the injectors to fire, she has really strong spark, fuel to rail, fuel pump primes, engine turns on starter.

I have a few thinks to check, relay's and earth's

Need it up and running by the end of the week as driving it leicester on saturday for RTOC national day

Should add I only started the conversion on the 20th May 2011 :D
