Im sure i read somewhere on this forum of this being done. Can anyone tell me what parts are required for such a conversion? Any roughly how much one should pay for such a conversion?

I may have access to a manual gearbox soon, and was just wondering............

This is what I think you need, and hopefully will be getting shortly :-

Gearbox

Gear lever and leather/vinyl boot

Master cylinder

Slave cylinder

All pipes etc ..

Pedal box

Flywheel

Pressure plate

Clutch disk

Throw out bearing

Front half of the prop

Plate between the engine and gearbox

Spigot bush from crankshaft

Wiring loom for reverse & neutral switches

I think you may find that ShaunMac has a spare manual box ....

Project 1547 - Out of the Blue

What will you do with all the stuff you've removed? If you're thinking of recouping some costs, I may be interested in the HKS SMICs! 😉
Thanks Vig, I'll let you know! I left the HKS I/Cs for Jim to sell on.

Bought years ago from CZP before they went NLA.

Collected the car from PowerZed yesterday. Jim has spent many hours putting all the parts in the first two photos below onto the car and removing as much of the superfluous guff as possible. The car passed its MOT with flying colours and with the emissions well with limits. Jim emailed me after he took her for the MOT and to quote him "it behaved very well during the journey. It is very quick on boost even at wastegate pressure. You will be impressed I am sure" I'm a very happy bunny!
The trip back home was very wet so drove with due caution. I will take her out when conditions improve and I have plumbed the Racelogic traction control back into the new engine harness.
I'm very grateful to Jim for all he has done in getting the car to this stage of development in my ownership - a very big thank you!

Engine out and all the emissions guff, manifolds and old turbos coming off. Compression tests well within specs for a 90K miles engine.

Front of the car stripped down, old HKS SMICs, Recircs and pipe work removed.

New CHRA's with billet compressors installed into JWT 530BB turbos.

MSP exhaust manifolds installed with new engine mounts and modified brackets to clear AshSpec pipework.

JWT 530BB turbos mounted.

Work in progress - engine back in. RobZ 62mm TB's installed onto modified plenum. AshSpec 2.5" pipework going on and a lot of other new parts.

All back in and bolted up with the very clean and discreet OEM+ look I was after with the modifications.

Which continues with the new MAFs, GFB Recirculating BOVs and AshSpec 2.5" pipework under the nose panel. Again a very clean look.

Finally the man who made it all happen...
