finally got around to snapping and uploading pics of my DIY effort:

BOV, water injection pump, oil filter thingie - this area of the bay is still messy:

Now THAT's a cockpit :bowdown1: :bowdown1: :bowdown1:

Some may say it's too "busy", but I love it.

Before we get off the topic though, here's my engine bay.....
Keep in mind I haven't picked her up yet, since I bought her 9 months ago.:)eek: )

This may interest you...

Definitely not the cleanest engine bay, however probably one of the most unique :chuckle:

Ok, have a proper look :chuckle:

This is my MG Montego 6R4, the only one that was ever made. This is a proper group B rally car, used against the likes of the Audi Quattro S1, Peugeot T16 Metro 6R4 Lancia 037.

As you can see it has an RB26 engine, (replaces crappy 2.0lt Rover M16) with GTR gearbox, difs and drive shafts. It uses Group B rally suspension, with Bilstein inverted dampers with rose jointed ends.

The car is still being built with plenty of work to go. I am hoping to have it driveable for next summer.

If you guys are interested, I will put up a new thread.

Just thought you may like to see a slightly different engine bay :chuckle:

I was morally against overdone cockpits and gauges, but after losing two engines in six months, I find it comforting to be able to monitor everything - every basic gauge, plus wideband lambda and det cans permanently running. If something feels ever so slightly off, I can immediately check the lambda, air flows, or switch to Aux 2 input on my stereo and have a listen. Or I can make a change to the ignition map at a red light and immediately see if it's good or not. :thumbsup:
 
excellent! did you get the entire AWD system in there?

And from the pic - I can finally clearly see where to block off the recirc piping when I remove it entirely. I mean, I'd have figured it out anyways when tearing apart the intakes, but I like to visualize the surgery in detail before I go in :)
 
Here's a picture of mine. Its still pretty much stock, but right now I am trying to pick either the HKS Racing Chamber kit or the Trust Greddy Suction kit.

And I am in the process of removing the flaking black paint of off the plenum.

Any opinions on which kit to get? And is the damn rusted bolt for the rear turbo intake elbow a PTA to remove?????
 
I thought I'd go colour codes to match the body.

I was thinking of the polished look, but as my engine is relatively standard, I did not want a look the BHP could not match.

So I went for clean and understated. :D

I am real chuffed with the overall look now it is finished off with the carbon details, (photos taken before completion). :thumbsup:
