LARGE PIC HEAVY UPDATE!!

So basically i wasn't happy with the 172s paintwork, was really bugging me being 3 different colours, and a RB182 came up for sale very cheap in my local town.

So i bought it and put my turbo engine in it.

All work carried out by me alone in 1 and a half days, was very pleased with the outcome.

Ill let the photos tell the rest of the story
.

First thing, i put my wheels on. the 182 wheels were some of the worst ive seen!

Then off down the workshop and took the turbo engine out...

took the RBs engine out...

then there was no going back...

turbo engine in....

FMIC etc

done, just needed ecu mapping

at home with the DCI!

fogs work too!

just needs lowering now

some other boost buddies and 182!

thanks to AlexW for reading fault codes after i had finished.

comments welcome.

Swift work! What ECU are you using? We can do you a good price for an Adaptronic.

Using the aem fic piggy back ecu supplied with the turbo conversion. If I ever forge it I will go for an adaptronic!

It's a toyosport intercooler. Does the job just fine. Bolted through the front crash bar.
