engine building picture stampede (many many pics)

thought you lot might like this. my work in progress

Some really good work there mate..I like it alot must have taken some time to get it like that but thumbs up to you lad

rage, that looks unreal dude. looks so clean an fresh. every part of it even the carpet lol

very nice mate. super clean. must have taken ages to sort. must have been scary lowering the engine and box in just incase the engine touched anything and scratched!

took me 2 hours to get it in position with cloth all over the engine bits that could hit the bay... was tedious yeah

she ran for the first time today. still a few things to sort out but getting there

very clean mate.. question for ya.. did you rebuild your turbo?? i see its a ct9a compressor housing but theres a ct9b compressor wheel in there.. did you bore out the inlet???

top job man

bought the turbo a little while ago. supposed as a spotless ct9b. there was no shaft play and the turbo spooled up really quick when i revved te engine a bit. what differences are there between the a and b turbo to check it?

looks good rage carnt believe how clean it looks you should be proud

what steerong wheels and boss kit u got buddy, im after that similar style of wheel.

i f$$kin love this work, wel done bud on the build. fire up more pics when ye have the rest done

Diller.

Gotta be the cleanest engine bay around.

the ct9b will have 9 fins on the exhaust side..

heres a ct9a and ct9b beside each other,, a on the left and b on the right

thx lads been my project for almost half a year now. last december the bottem end went so i had to rebuild the engine. so i thought. let's do it right

having a few problems with my alternator but hoping to fix the last bits today so she can make her first test miles.

wil add pics once she's done

thx for the info corofin!.
this means i have ct9b inards and a ct9a housing. quite odd. but the turbo seems in great shape, not even a crack in the wastegate

top work there fella!!!

last bit of troubleshooting done, connected the last few sensors (il pres. oil temp, water temp)
replaced the alternator, fixed the map sensor error (faulty wire) and fixed the igniter error.

she will be rdy for a testdrive tomorrow

Looks awsome, hats off to the work you have put into this....

one of the best builds i've seen on here in a LONG time, proper minty fresh mate top class work keep all the pics coming

thx nice to hear.

and it's my first engine build from scratch never done something like this before

Looks awesome mate, so clean and fresh love the colours as well. Looks so good I wouldn't wanna drive it lol.
