BA wagon turbo conversion using ford parts

[Lunchietey]

Yeah. Guess I'll have to find more actuators. 

 

Overdue pics as promised, not much to look at from outside, low light flatters the crappy paint haha. Close up of BFii brakes with RDA rotors and QFM pads and ricey blue calipers 

 

Drivers side rear quarter had a 20*25cm dent and deep scratch with cracked tail light from the missus backing the FJ into it. Took interior trim out and bashed it out best I could. Almost can't see it in this pic but you can definitely see it in real life.

not bad

Finally found some decent front door trims. Seems taxis have gobbled up most of the beige interiors! Only $30 the pair haha(Falcons are so cheap for parts, both of my other cars would be $300+ per door!)

haha good job on that one. looks in pretty good 'nick.

Have put in my annual leave request to have the second half of March off to get this done! Hopefully nothing comes up at work(possible maintenance shutdown in March) so it gets approved!

I converted my BF to turbo using the NA engine, if you need any info send us a message

Only thing I'm not 100% on is the water supply and return for the turbo. I do have the heater pipes from the XR6T(and a whole gates rubber hose pack) but the pipe looks horrendous to change. Once the exhaust etc is off I'm hoping it looks better/easier!

I took a bunch of photos a while back of where the water lines go. 

 

If you need more I'll take some more and post them up.

I've still got those photos too haha

I tapped into the heater hoses for my water lines. Ended up getting a hydraulic shop to make me some hoses with banjo fittings because the rubber ones failed like Jet and Puff told me they would...

Sounds a lot easier than changing the steel pipe around the back of the motor!
