Cavalier SRi Turbo

[leigh200sx]

Hi Leigh...Think I may have replied to you on facebook regarding the intercooler.

Yes there was quite a bit of fettling done to get the IC to fit. I had to cut the lip off the bottom radiator support and weld it up. Also had to cut the ends of the chassis legs for the pipework to fit.
Black part of the bumper also had to be trimmed a bit.

Will do Humbucker

Thanks mate, I have done mine now and ended up buying 3 different cooler and used the radiator from the Saab donar car, had to jiggle power steering pipes and the bumper was a challenge but it's done now ..

Little update.

Got my ECU back from Regal, It's now EDS phase 3.5


Got an early birthday present from the wife.



Got my covers back from the bodyshop.




Gear knob is dyed ready for fitting.


Took the Cav to size up for an exhaust. Booked in next week for a full system from Turbo back.

Awesome. You haveing twin pipes like the pic? I kinda like it.

[Envoy CDX]

Rear twin's do look more subtle that that bit ole' can on the back.

[Terry]

No Dan, I was just comparing tail pipes to see what I liked. That big ole can is ridiculously loud. It's straight through pipe to the back box.

[Terry]

She's off having the exhaust made now.
Received a package today.

[Terry]

I got a bit bored as the Cav is still at the exhaust builders, So I got to sorting the actuator bracket.

You have to cut off the old standard actuator from the bracket.



Then drill holes to mount the new actuator. I did intend to get it chromed but decided to just paint it and get a spare actuator to have chromed.



Whist the bracket was drying I changed the spring to suit my engine.

[Terry]

Not updated for a few weeks.

Exhaust is done.



Covers are on.


Smoked headlights and indicators fitted.

[Lowrider Dave]

Looking really nice, great work.

[Terry]

Thanks Dave, I was actually just reading your project on Migweb. Good work on your Hatch

[Lowrider Dave]

Thanks Terry. It's all about attention to detail isn't it!

[dazzlersri]

Thats looking lovely, really like the covers done in that colour.

[Terry]

Thanks Terry. It's all about attention to detail isn't it!

Some people would call us crazy but I just think we're dedicated

[Terry]

She's done 500 miles now. Today I changed the oil and filter.



Can't decide if I like the polished sliders or not. Prefer the plastic ones at the minute. Will see if the polished grow on me.

Great work Terry, looks ace. What rating are the different coloured actuator springs? I have a Forge item waiting to make its way into my car's engine bay. It came with a few different springs (fitted with the yellow one iirc), but with no accompaying documentation!

[Chip Pan Dan]

I'd stick with the plastic sliders myself

iirc yellow is lowest rating. I did email Forge who were really helpful. I shall post the ratings in a second.

[Terry]

Sorry green is lowest.

GREEN 5 psi (spool up) - 10 psi (running pressure) our product code FMAS049G.

YELLOW 9 psi (spool up) - 15 psi (running pressure) our product code FMAS049Y.

BLUE 14 psi (spool up) - 18 psi (running pressure) our product code FMAS049B.

RED 17 psi (spool up) - 20 psi (running pressure) our product code FMAS049R.

[Envoy CDX]

Cav's looking great Terry, agree - couldn't get away with the polished sliders I have to say.

[Terry]

I'm not keen on them either. I'll give them a couple of days to impress me lol.

[Sim Dhillon]

Top job pal

[Terry]

Thanks Sim.

Dropped her off at the bodyshop today.
Managed to refit the gear linkage after I fitted rose joints. Feels firmer and smoother now. Only play is on the actual gear stick now. Will have to upgrade for mk4 one.
