UPDATE JAN 2012:
Today a few mates came over and so we cracked on with fitting my 6speed box and getting everything bolted in ready for the engine in a few weeks. Pictures are not the best but here are some that I have uploaded. Everything has been re-zinc plated and or powdercoatedhttp://www.p1woc.co.uk/forums/images.../001_smile.gif. The subframe has been redone but alot has gone black as it's a more subtle look. http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0045.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0047.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0048.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0049.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0050.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0052.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0053.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0056.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0057.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0058.jpg Awaiting my RCM fuel rails now and the turbo will be going back on the engine over the next few days |
Just a few more pictures of the Turbo going back on this morning and of a few brackets and nuts and bolts that were either Powder Coated and or Zinc plated.

Looking very fookin nice fella :10: :10: :10:

Fantastic work :-)

Just thought I'd throw some pics on here, as you all know the underneath of my car is very white, but my lovely RCM system was looking abit tatty and shabby comopared to the rest, which in no way of course detracted from the fact it's beautifully made.
A lad on the P1woc who knows a thing or two about metals ... he is basically a freak in the metal department offered to gove it a spruse up. This consists of shot blast and then acid etch it , which would leave it a nice bright matt silver finish and would stop surface rust and attack from road salt as I would finish it with a coat of phosphoric acid which will leave a passive film of protection on the surface. Before pics: http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/DSC05348.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/DSC05349.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/DSC05346.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/DSC05347.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/DSC05350.jpg After pics: These items are not finished yet but you get the idea, James over on the P1woc has worked hard on these and given up his own time aswel. It's a great community spirit within these Subaru forums :doubleup:, something of which I have yet to experience on any other forum. http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0116.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0115.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0114.jpg The way James has treated this means that it will now build up its own passive layer and will not rust, even though it is a stainless system the welding destroys the original passive film layer and then it's a downwards spiral. http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/a...2-08232440.jpg http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/a...2-08232430.jpg http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/a...2-08232201.jpg The silencers meant he could not immersion dip the sections for fear of damaging the baffle plates. Decided against shot blasting and went with a more aggressive blend of acids. After meticulous prep work (pieces have to be spotlessly clean, no oil or grease allowed) the acid solution is hand painted onto the pipework which etches the damaged surface of the steel away leaving the clean material beneath. This is left to cure, rinsed off, and then bathed in deionised water before being left to dry naturally for 24 hours or so. This allows the material to form a passive (chromium oxide) layer over itself which will act as a very effective barrier against the elements. As I've said to Kris, even RCM systems will rust unless treated properly. The passive layer is damaged by welding, iron particles and other contaminants are then trapped in weld pools which will turn into iron oxide and rust - stainless or not. Given time, this would blow through. This photo shows that quite well: |
WOW!!! Speachless!!

Very very nice :-)

attention to detail is unbelievable, top work!!

UPDATE MARCH 2012:
Well with the engine back in and the last few bits at the powdercoaters things are getting moving, the Fuel system has proved good fun, I didnt need a parellel setup but i thought I'd need it next year and I might as well do it now. Then it'll mean I only need to change the engine and turbo and not worry to much about starting it up with a whole new Fuel system and engine taboot. I went for some RCM top feed rails and their conversion kit along with a Bosch (porsche filter) The fittings are all torques push on fittings with aeroquip hose and goodridge fireproof sleeving shrink wrapped at the ends. The hardlines to fiter and also to the FPR are goodridge and the FPR is an SX. I have used 550cc new age injectors along with the Power Enterprise plugs. Hopefully it'll mean the fuel is much more evenly spread and I know yes it's still a vf28 but I am planning on selling this engine next year as a long engine to recoup some of my money for my 2.1 stroker kit and CDB build so if it will last this year without going bang then happy days. Also to fit still is my gorgeous exhaist system fresh from J -Steel over on the p1woc and my flocked dash also turned up to accompany my Bolt in cage which is to be fitted later on in the summer. The rest of the powdercoated and zinc plated bits are expected to be finished early next week and then it'll take a good day to refit the last bits then double check every nut and bolt is tight then mark them with the tipex pen. I'll then double check the Fluid levels, prime the engine and ensure oil pressure and check for Fuel leaks then start her up on the Axle stands, this means I can check for leaks easily. Once thats all done I can drop it down and drive it to Bob Rawle for a tweak:grin::grin:.... Then hopefully enjoy the Summer. Here are some pics of the updates guys enjoy .

Well seeing as I have been waiting for a few parts, the weather to stop having a hissy, time off of work and also time off of the bike aswel along with getting ready for the TT race next week, I actually had all of those culminate into one today.
So I decided to fit the rest of the flocked dash , along with taking a picture or two of the battery and washer bottle mounted into the boot. I'm just waiting on a dry cell battery to turn up now, get my cage and also fit that. A few more bits to tidy up and a DV bung to order and hopefully it's ready for mapping. I haven't driven the car since September so I'm dead excited now. I'll be updating my project thread accordingly aswel.http://www.p1woc.co.uk/forums/images...es/biggrin.gifhttp://www.p1woc.co.uk/forums/images...es/biggrin.gif http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0699.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0700.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0701.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0702.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0703.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0704.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0709.jpg http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/IMG_0710.jpg Pictures dont really do the dash justice, it really does bring the interior up to date, once I have brushed it all down i'll take some more pictures. |
As said before fantastic work, gonna be a pain to keep it clean underneath though ;-)
|
Yay you guys got my thread back.
