I feel as free as a moth in a cyclone, liberated NOT, just now realising the job ahead, have not even stared with the rats nest under the dash - that's tomorrow, then into the back of the beast.

@Rossco, any idea since you have had your looms in pieces?@matfew?

Here are the cables, looking at wiring diagram the lug should be the earth, unsure what the smaller one is - maybe off the old a/c clutch - need to check the connector tomorrow

Crickies Phil, wouldn't have a clue mate. . Haha sorry but good luck does look like fun . .

BS I call, YOU DO know what it is, stop toying with me.

OK, new clutch installed, light action, but noise from gearbox increased for first 200m then settled down a bit, gearbox oil changed today as well. Drive is even more savage I guess and acceleration noticeably better, so suspect the original clutch was slipping to some degree. Found a double clutch action eased the shock/jolt on downshifts, alternator now charging - missed a wire on reconnection, so that's a relief on a brand new 300amp unit. Back into the wiring tomorrow for a bit then have to sort the garage out before heading back to site. Happy its getting closer, still have the alignment of belt issue to some degree, however will see what effect the new manifold and intercooler assy have on the issue.

Attacked one of the Diesel particulate filters to remove the guts - what a job - cant drill or hole saw the stuff out, need to punch it out, lot of effortParticulate filters, .JPG
One for engineering, one for touring.

New coolant surge tank arrived from China today, 7 days from sketches to on my doorstep. I have lagged it in a foam insulation for temp control.surge tank.JPG

Mounted surge tank, insulated, waiting for the rest of the parts to arrive

Back on home on break, more 'stuff about to be added. New inlet manifold with integrated intercooler core, DCDC charger, have lined up the interchiller for end of FEB, going all out with the Stage 2 kit, should be goodunderside manifold.JPGDCDC.JPGmanifold top side.JPG

The interchiller looks like it'll cause more harm then good jammed in there like that. I assume it's a proven design and all good, just looks like a big ol obstruction.

This is the w2a heat exchanger, integrated between the outlet of the s/c and located inside the inlet plenum. Its a standard fitment. The interchiller is an additional module that runs off the a/c circuit. Have a look at fi interchillers.com The interchiller circuit cools the w2a intercooler water to circa -20 degC in the stage 2 kit. There are two new heat exchangers in the circuit - a w2a for the air entering the engine and two a/c gas to water heat exchanger to chill the water. The Stage 2 system uses the original car condenser then adds another 2 condensors in series to sequentially suck the heat out of the refrigerant. The heat exchanger in the inlet manifold is made by ADRAD in Adelaide. If its efficiency is as good as the alum ADRAD I have up front, should be no problems.

What is deceptive perhaps is the missing interface plate that sits sandwiched between the s/c and the coil - is a pretty neat setup.
