[182_blue]

what are you doing, i think i missed it, are you doing your 172 up or something else

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Its my project engine, Will be fitting the Turbo to the engine I have, then fitting it in my 172, should be fun then

nice on mike, lookin good. Wont that Bright red look a bit strange with the flame red 172 tho?

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Most of its hidden, just thought it might look a bit different from silver, its not actualy as bright as it appears in the pic.

The bottom pic is my project manager

Hopefully it will work this time!

So you managed to pick up a 172 engine from somewhere?

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Yes Mate, A company on Ebay called pickle cars, only 6000 miles of use as well, cost me 600 quid including delivery

[Fred@BTM]

is it a good idea to paint the inlet surface??? i hope you havent done the exhaust side too!!!!

will it form a 100% seal between the inlet and the head with the paint on there???

(looks cool though!)

 

[Mike@Rentech]

dont worry I will be sanding the gasket surfaces off

 

[Ben P]

I was expecting pictures of you with paint on your head

Oh well these are pretty good too I spose

 

[BenR]

Bit worried that youve actually reduced flow rather than gained it.

If you can wait ill get it on me flow bench mid july.

 

[Mike@Rentech]

You got me worried now ben, what have I done wrong?
