Next I'm waiting to get the rest of the things back from the powdercoaters and I can then get the cam sprockets on and time her up.
Also waiting on my baffled sump and oil pickup pipe. These should be with me this week.
Then continue with the ancilaries till the motrs built and then drop it in.
Once the motors in I can test fit the turbo system and then send that for ceramic coating.
Once that's done I can decide where I want tanks/pumps to go and start on all the fuel fittings etc.

So its all progree, even if a little slow.

Not much to update this at the moment. Im waiting to get my sump back as thats been away being baffled. Also waiting on my modified AVCS line and other parts to be zinc coated. Once these are on i can go ahead and fit up all the timing assembly.

Also wonding if i should bother buying the Cosworth/RCM anti skip belt guide or not?

Are you worried the belt might slip? I don't think it's an issue with Subaru's is it, unless the belt is old and teeth worn.

Well not much to update. I should get my oil pan back tomorrow and i picked up some other modified pipes etc tonight so these will be droped of to be plated tomorrow also.

In the meantime ive had a delivery of a full set of timing idlers (cheers Alyn @ As Performance - top service as always)

Image

Drilled/tapped my X-over pipe to take the Defi water temp sender.

Image

Made up a feed/take off for the Defi oil pressure sender and retain the OEM oil press switch.

Image

Made up a boss to take my air charge temp sensor that replaces the OEM PCV valve that will no longer be used.

Image

Removed almost all bosses from the manifold and refinished in wrinkle red (original VHT shade)

Image

Generally mocking stuff up. Some of the above parts are loose assy untill i get the pipeworkl back. As soon as the modified pipes come back from plating i can progresss quite alot more :)

Okay i feel i have a more healthy size update for you guys today, so heres part one.

You may remember me having fitted a 76mm itake trumpet into my OS fog cover about 5 years ago now. I wanted to do the same on the NS in order to feed the oil cooler. However this time i wanted to try and have a more OEM look so wanted to have the bellmouth intakes but wanted them to look stock.

So i enlisted a friend of mine at work who makes prototype body fabrications etc and he said he could make them up for me.
Well today he delivered these to me, and what a great job he has done too.

He is also going to make me a shroud for my oil cooler so im looking forward to seeing that soon :)
