Priming Turbo's
Right just got my engine sorted but have been told to prime the turbo's oil feed before doing anything else. What's the best way to do this? I don't want to blow the tubs up :)

Exhaust help!!
It seems to be a bit of pot luck if those decats fit or not. I think the issue is with the oil pan on the autobox being a bit wide for them. That said, if they don't fit you can always adjust them :hammer:

Are your initials used elsewhere?
Milton Keynes is refered to as MK too :smartass:

Is this just a case of allowing the engine to run without boost for a fair while Jeff, or is there more to it than that? Cheers Mikester

Finally after 2 years of work I managed to actually turn the key and see if my engine transplant worked. And........... she started in the time it took the fuel to run from the tank to the injectors :clap:. There was no farting, spluttering clonking tapping and more importantly no dodgy fumes coming out of the exhaust :thumbup: Still have a lot of work to do but I am so chuffed right now. The engine last ran when i went headfirst into a crashbarrier in my old jdm 2 years ago. It's been sat for a year and a half outside under a tarp, before I gave it a service and cam belt change. And to think, before I got my zed's I couldn't even change the oil in a car. It's been a slow process as I've had to learn to do so much but It's been great fun and seeing and hearing it running was a massive joy.
