Cheers bud! A lot of useful info here!
Lil update. Bought some Upol Raptor, air compressor, shutz gun and the various primers/etchers to spray a few bits. I want to paint the steering guard, NAS rear step (just been delivered  ) the silver chequer plate, light guards and the headlight surrounds/front grill. The idea behind this is to keep some of the parts looking smart while adding a layer of protection.
Much more to come such as a full external cage, rock sliders, AFN Full Winch bumper + Winchmax, ali tank guard, wrap around diff guards, high back rear seats (how the hell do you even fit these? I can't work it out), custom cut Raptor dash, twin Southdown snorkels (its got to BREATH with all that boost!   ) further ICE upgrades and a rear Ashcroft LSD. |

Great progress there, I like the new turbo
Do those Corbeau seats have removable bases? |

Cheers bud! They do not, which is a little annoying sometimes, I had the same set up on my 90 that was no issue.
Just got to fit a new bigger battery, an Anderson connector (for jumping and the like) and an Aux fuse box then its highly unlikely ill ever have to remove the seats anyway. I mean how often do you need to look at the ECU& battery anyway? lol Anyone got any suggestions on how to protect the paint? |

Protect the paint... From corrosion or scratches? James

Cheers!
Yeah scratches and the like. The paint on this one is rather nice, well it was until I met a low hanging tree branch... Few bits arrived in the post! 
Naturally got cracking preping the bits I want to paint first, steering guard and some chequer plate. Started with the wire wheel on the grinder, then moved onto the 160grit paper on the belt sander Click image to enlarge All shiny and keyed
Click image to enlarge Anyone know if the Upol degrease has to be diluted first? Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated  |

I can't find it now but I read somewhere about getting vehicles wrapped in clear anti scratch, also a hard wax polish may help. Might need to do a separate thread to get the right people's attention for more expertise

So after a weekend of sanding, cleaning, preping and spraying my first Raptor coated bits are done! Came out rather well I think
Snow Cowl -
Headlight Surround & Grill - Click image to enlarge Rear Quarter Plate -
Rear Corner Plate -
Front -
Havnt refitted the steering guard yet, as I think I'll give that a third coat considering it will spend most in harms way. Overall I think Raptor is a very good product, it's very easy to apply and very easy to get your desired texture. I used two bottles for the following - x1 Coat back of steering guard x2 Front steering guard x2 On each headlight surround x2 Front grill x2 On all chequer plate x2 Con snow cowl x1 Normal coat on NAS step plate x1 'Grip' coat on NAS step plate - Black dry silica sand added, VERY grippy! x2 On NAS step chassis support brackets - Mainly done for future proofing/corrosion resistance Plus various test panels Still got 2/3 of a can of #4Grip coating left and about 1/4 can of #8Acid Etch left, so pretty decent value imo. Only thing that is a bit of a pain is the flashing off/recoat time is 1 hour, also after an hour once mixed the Raptor starts to harden in the bottle. So what ever you plan on spraying you ideally need one bottle per coat to minimise waste. Got a fair bit more to Raptor over the coming months - Front bumper - As yet undecided but leaning toward the AFN Bullbar winch Rock Sliders Wing Chequer Plate NAS Rear Step NJI Aluminium pick up boot lid Snorkel's Loadspace - Currently all chequer plate and looks a bit tatty, even though once the boot lid is on I wont see it... :rolleyes: Loadspace pull out drawer system - Less of a drawer, more of a tray on some heavy duty runners for ease of load/access Contemplating doing the whole rollcage as well Maybe the light guards just to reinforce them a bit Should keep all the protective off road bits safe and looking smart! Now for some fun stuff! Click image to enlarge Jose came and mapped the 110! According to him should be sitting on 190bhp & 430nm torque  Currently running 22psi. It shifts but I can't help feeling it isnt quite as quick as my 90, or maybe I just can't remember driving the 90 :rolleyes: that said there is NO lag what so ever, foot down and your on full boost in milliseconds
Either way I've got to whittle out the airbox so it can get a more air a bit quicker... Plus good news is, hes mapped christ knows how many TD5s and only had one reported gearbox/TX break and that was during a race... So should last as long as I treat it right
Next time he's in the UK I may have him set up 'Dual Maps' one normal sensible map and one balls out one, or 'sport' map haha :p
Also went for the slightly, yet awesome popcorn limiter though due to the Allisport bullet box it's not as noticable as it could be, soooo I may change for a complete straight thru! I'll get some videos up when I can with the new GoPro!

Got a fair bit of work done over the weekend! Been planning to pull the inlet manifold off for a while to give it a good clean now all the other performance upgrades are in place. Surprisingly easy, from what I read most people find it a ballache to remove due to the location of the bolts but I got to all of em pretty easily. Was off in less than 30 mins!
Start to remove - Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Didnt realise the fuel cooler had loctite on the bolts, came off quite easy though And off!
Time for a bath! Soaked for 30 mins in some Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner, jetwashed, repeat then a rinse of degreaser Click image to enlarge Forgot to get a pic of the 97k worth of gunk that had built up in there! The inlet ports where pretty caked in gunk and there was a fair bit in the main area too. Now all clean I did forget to buy a new EGR blank - Inlet gasket... So I had to make one from some boxes I had hanging around, new proper one en route.
New Injector harness going in as I had some fault codes crop up but someone clearly used a sh!te gasket and RTV instead of a quality gasket 
Click image to enlarge 30 mins of cleaning and its off and new harness in Click image to enlarge EGR Blank on the exhaust manifold was leaking  somehow the bolt had worked its way loose, no amount of turning would budge it!
Click image to enlarge Which turned into a dreaded exhaust manifold off job  through some miracle I didnt snap a single stud! All came off with ease, except one which cam out of the head with ease. Replaced with an uprated Wurth stud, all nuts replaced with copper flashed ones, for easy removal next time.
Also managed to just nudge the A/C system forward without having to remove it, left just enough space to pull the manifold off. Refitted a new/old OEM manifold, dewebbed and machined flat. Should keep the warping at bay at least for a while... Click image to enlarge Also fitted a Forge Motorsport actuator, holds boost more stable at max boost/revs also comes on boost slightly quick and much smoother overall. Happily set at 22psi. Click image to enlarge Go faster stickers
Road test, though I think my Nanocom may be misreading!
Click image to enlarge Probably down to the boost box, waiting on an uprated MAP sensor from Jose and the appropriate map adjustments. New Euroflo back box en route as mine is in a poor state as well as a stainless straight through, I miss the noise!!

321 bar, 4,656 psi.
. Is that 150mph from re-entry to the Earth's atmosphere?
How do you rate the U-Pol Raptor stuff mate? That aircon dash and those Bowler wheels! 
Has the new turbo's compressor housing been hydro-dipped too? Never driven a td5 but I bet yours moves |

Yep!
Raptor, havnt really had a chance to test it, has stay dry for 36 hours at least, then 7 days to fully cure before you can actually start 'using' it. So far yeah pretty good, easy to apply, the prep work is long but it needs doing and needs doing well. Havnt used the AC either as its been winter! Its bloody loud though
Yeah I guess so, comes like that as standard from TD5inside! It's no slow pony for a 3 tonne truck haha |
