Just won this, bit expensive but looks nice £295. comes with pump radiator and charge cooler unit from a focus rs

well picked up the charger cooler last night. This morning I decided I was going to have to remove the heater unit to make room for the charge cooler unit to sit nicely in place without looking odd, heres some pics of the position it is going.

No Heater

You going to do some Rhysee magic.

charge/intercoolers really like cold air! can't really tell from your pics but it looks too packed in. mine sits cockeyed out of the way of engine heat but also does have a substancial ammount of air going through it.

Have just bought these, these are the main parts I need to mount and wire up in order to run a 3d programable ecu, it will alow me to advance and retard my timing using a laptop within the car, ideal for when I use my nos as when using nos it is recomended to have your timing slightly retarded.

It gets better and better.

People will be so amazed logging in to sort your timing lol

are you going to run megajolt? i plan on running mapped ignition for the mini come 2008. what are you using tps or map?

Yes am going to be using the megajolt setup using a map, Ive only heard good things about this kit and at only £100 it a bit of a bargain. Just to let you know some1 is selling the tps setup on ebay now for £89

tps setup's are virtually impossible to run on boosted motors, with the boost always fluctuating (well on turbos anyway). almost everyone on the turbo minis website is running it. certanly beats thy trusty distributor.

Well managed to mount the edis and sort the loow to the coil, need to get hold of some shielded cable for the vr sensor. Also fitted the modified crank pulley, with the alloy supercharger belt pulley mounted to the original along with the timing gear. Also started fabricating a mount for the vr sensor so I can position it 90degrees b4 tdc.

Just bought my 3d programable ignition of ebay £109 which i didnt think was bad just need a cheap laptop which I can leave in the car now.

superb work mate.

well my megajolt kit arrived the other day and seems a very nice piece of kit for the money. also fabricated a plenum for my carbs and then polished it up. I need to get the back milled flat to ensure a good flat surface and no presure is alowed to leak as it will effect the performance. Heres some pics.

if anyone can resize these for me cause I dont know how to lol thanks
