New GT4

Front mount now fitted just have to relocate the oil cooler but not sure ware yet.




Actuator and recirc valve now re fitted.











Also have to put the lower grill back in or cut out the uprights and put a black mesh in.
The rad fan is now on the outside between the cooler and radiator.

 

No mate their not, The factory ones a slightly bigger but couldn't find any at the time. I still keep an eye out and will get some eventually when they turn up.

 

Well she's blown her rad .



Was going to get a dual core but realised it wont fit due to the inter cooler pipe work going up through.

 

Ant been on in a while Scott.

Their are a few mods that have taken place along with a new head as the old one had a crack and was leaking oil on to the exhaust manifold.

So new rebuilt head Port and polished inlet side,
162 Side feed inlet manifold adapted to take the 165 throttle body,
165 throttle body has been changed slightly to use the 162 throttle cable,
TVIS has been taken out,
162 cam covers are now going to be used.
1.4, MH gasket,

This is the new set up has it stands to date ready to go back in soon



Now on the look out for a 205 lump to rebuild.

 

Yeah mate they all line up perfectly with no problems what so ever .

Hears another pic of someone else who also done the same thing.



And hears a pic of mine with the bolts in



The top bolt holes are for the plug cover

 

That's strange how mine are lined up.

But yes as said you can use the next hole with the big washer, For the amount of torque on the bolts it would hold fine.

 

OK had a few hours on the gt4 today.
Almost, finished just a few bits left to do. Accelerator cable, Reconnect cooler pipe to turbo, Top up coolant and she should be ready to fire up to check the timing,

 

OK guys all finished and this is a few videos of the first start up

Had a few problems with the gt4 over the last year or so . Had to change the pistons and rings due to ringlands broke on no 2-3-4.



Then the AFM was playing up so managed to source a new one well second hand It's all back together now and running great.
