I'm sure he'l have something lying around in one of his lockups..........

[steve in stockport]

it lives!

 

fired on the first turn of the key, might even have run for a while if I'd taken the plastic cap of the inlet! Once we'd spotted the error it fired and ran pretty much straight away.

A couple of things to sort out and she'll soon be back on the road, all in all a very happy boy.

Video to follow

Well done Steve. Nick

[Guest alfaGTA]

Good work Steve! Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh at a show.

[Guest shaggy]

Fantastic Steve, just sorry I couldn't be there today

[steve in stockport]

As promised, a little bit of video, try to ignore the schoolboy error of leaving the protective cap on the turbo.

Needs and exhaust sorting out and some ecu work, but it runs.

 

First start video

Needs and exhaust sorting out

 

 

Steve - your not kidding. The exhuast you have on there would scare bats at 500 miles. I was sure your exhaust was so much quieter when you had the other vauxhall unit in the car..............

[steve_wilson]

awesome, pleased you've got it all fitted and running. fingers crossed there's not too many teething issues!

 

ordered all the parts i need for the engine rebuild today, wallet is significantly lighter, but should keep me quiet for a while

[steve in stockport]

Simon, there's no exhaust on there, just the front cat from the astra.

Now got a nice big stainless downpipe out of the engine bay, just need to sort out the silencer as it's a proper anti social neighbour annoyer at the moment.

 

Steve, i'm looking forward to getting out for a quick test drive, and to iron out any problems before Stoneleigh, good luck with the rebuild, they're a pretty easy engine to work on, any questions about parts just get in touch.
