Hopefully 06! It's ready to drop in when you get the manifold made right?

Although fitting the cooler and piping and doing the tuning might take some time if your mechanic is pretty busy. As most are heading into Christmas which is a downer.

Hopefully it'll get knocked over quickly.

Realistically with my work committments and alike it should be back in the car in 2-3 weeks max. Then off to get the manifold/dump pipe made and then back to workshop for intercooler andplumbing. Then down the Gold Coast to betuned. I would think end of January/mid February would be about right.

No rush, its been 18 months now, a few more wont hurt.

Dave, thanks for directing me to this thread

Really some piece of art you're working on here. Any updates?

What is your hp/torque aim with this? Also, what's the boost going to be?

No aims at this stage. We'll see what it ends up at.

Should have been down at PI this weekend but alas it was not to be. Work has kept me flat out so nothing really progressed. But whilst enjoying a hot cross bun this morning I managed to jig up the Intercooler.

Got the last of the parts arriving soon form the states. E34 M5 cam sensor set up (fits the S14), E34 M5 TPS (pot style as opposed to switch) and a few other bits and pieces. PWR are making me a bigger oil cooler that will mount directly under the intercooler. Remote oil filter mount and asociated Aeroquip hoses and fittings.

Also managed to pick up my ecu and ignition set up. Took it up to Ray Hall in Cairns on a recent work trip and had him have a good look over it. Installed a software version and ran it upto 10000rpm without any issues. Autronic SMC and Autronic 500R CDI with bosch coils.

Also lots of help from family...

So its slowly progressing. Its been 2 yrs now since I blew it at Morgan Park................oh, and a few dollars as well. Those that think you can do this cheaply havent done it. Not sure how long to go. I remember asking kenny a heap of times when his would be finished and his answer was always "When its finished it will be finished". I understand what he means now. Just so many other factors.

What you mean you can't do a full reliable and powerful setup for under $5k?

Looks great, glad to see its all coming together now! Hopefully it won't be too long now

Are you thinking of painting the cooler black?

Definately. Once its all fitted I will spray it black.

Am interested to see what Dash you run with the Autronic Dave... You will probably have your's up and running before mine

Project is on hold for a while as work is full on at the moment and between that and family, there doesnt seem to be enough time in the day. I have set the completion date back a bit......Hopefully it will be on the orad by the years end. Still managed to gather a few more parts from the list as needed.

New Fuel system consisting of Aeromotive A1000 Fuel Pump,Fuel Fiter and Fuel Pressure Regulator.

New Bosch 550cc Injectors (mounted) compared to the old 240cc ones.

Complete E34 M5 Cam Sensor set up and Throttle Position Sensor that is a direct fitment to the S14 engine.

Also I am remote mounting the Oil Filter for ease of access once the plenum and inlet plumbing is in place. Earls Products make a direct fit application.

I was originally going with a PWR oil cooler but managed to get hold of a SETRAB one for same price that will be mounted behind one of my brake ducts. I also have one coming for the diff along with a Tilton oil pump and M Coupe Diff Housing.

I have a heap of Aeroquip Braided hoses and fittings coming from the states for all the oil/fuel etc plumbing. The cost spread sheet is looking very ordinary. What was due to be on the road 6 months ago will proberbly not be back until Dec 07.....hopefully.
