That engine bay is a thing of beauty. I love what you did with the top hose to the radiator.
I have often wondered...if you rotate the turbo as you have done in order to install the FMIC, the wastegate actuator assy bolts to the compressor side of the turbo. If you rotate it how do you mount the actuator? did you make a custom bracket??
I also like the straight thru intake piping from the intercooler 
What has happened to the battery, and do you have a cold air box for your filter? or is it mounted inside the wheel arch??
All in all a fine example of a gt4, i gotta see it one day!

SilverGhost,
cheers mate - yes I had to fabricate a different actuator rod
for the wastegate.
the battery is in the back - gets it out of the way and yes I have a heatshield around a pod filter with ducting to the frount 
theres a few mods to do with the FMIC but it makes a difference 
cheers warrior for your comments

Very nicely done... I notice there's a cam gear poking out there. How do you get it passed for rego if you have no top timing cover?

tHats a sweet 4. The only thing I can suggest is that you get rid of those red hoses under the bay. Makes it look kinda cheap. Love the colour coding of the strut and rocket cover.
How do you get to your oil filter and didnt the 90 model GT4s come with ABS?
P.S. Nice mods but STOP COPYING ME!

Burning it..... I have been a bit slack lately. Still have not completed the re wiring of the car yet and still got a few other little things to sort out. Seeing how nice your car is and all these other 4's popping up I feel motivated again.
Back to the garage !

Must be the season for re-wiring.... I got Mos working on mine when he has a free hour or 6. 
Has to be re-wired (or at least FIXED) to get the new ECU working again. Anyone got a spare MAP sensor floating around in good condition? Mine's being a cheeky bitch and being very twitchy.
I'll stop hijacking the thread now.

Looks great mate. Very nice bay. With your dyno graph, it looks like you did the run in 4 gear and made max power of 176kw at just 106kph, what ratios are you running that speed and power curve looks more like a second gear run  Please explain.

Yeah, third makes more sence. Your ratios are still pretty close though. What boost are you running too. You have a very clean looking silly car there. I like.
