Things are starting to shape up! Left hand side is ready for fibreglass. The right hand side has a large dent in the door which I want to address first.

And the fibreglassing begins. I've added the first layer of glass on, another 2 to go. I'm already dreading the amount of sanding that is coming my way.

If it'll help you out, I have some solidworks models of T25 turbos I can send you. They should be modifiable to the TD04 pretty easily.
By pretty easily I mean an evening with rulers, calipers and no other distractions.
Great build too.
this is coming along really well mate did you want a nice and pretty looking turbo been a metal polisher I could do it easy oh and other bits?
@stirlsilver this is going pretty well mate! dragging on a bit though ;) I'm waiting till you finish and i'll drop mine around to get converted too thanks :cool:

Thanks for the offer Dougal! I've sent you a PM with my email address. I'll definitely have a look at the Model you have to see if it is something I can use.Quote:

I am targetting to have it finished in January which is a hell of a stretch since I haven't even started on the engine yet!!Quote:

I've started working on the suspension perches. My TIG welding skills are getting better :)

Ok, so now I should pack! I have a flight tonight at 11pm to Saudi Arabia and then I shoot across to Oman for a few days. I should be back on the 10th.
You'd better send it again. Nothing came through.Quote:

Unfortunately 0.064 Ohm resistors aren't particularly common, so I didn't have much choice!

Also, I set up an area to do my electronics work and I've started poking around with the MegaSquirt Settings to get familiar.

In the workshop today, a colleague of mine (Taro) came along to help out, and ended up being a huge help.
The rear suspension perches are now fully welded with the 50mm extension.

Mmm more go-fast bits have arrived.
Prins LPG evaporator and Keihin injectors plus a loom and pipes :twisted:
I ordered a complete kit less the computer since I plan to drive the injectors and interface direct with the sensors directly with megasquirt.

Got straight into it - testing one of the Keihin injectors with the Peak & Hold board. Works fine, but that's without any pressure on it.
