Where are the better pictures of the engine fitted after we painted it? With the exhaust fitted it looked awesome.

What's cool about it aswell is once the big turbo is on you will be able to see it in the rear view mirror :D

Mount the turbo on the dashboard for the full orange glow effect, it would also make the best possible cabin heater and keep the passengers entertained. ;)

I've not got many decent photos and still haven't got my Exige subframe but here's one while I was working on it...

Not sure if the pic worked as I'm on my phone. I will be updating my project thread at some point so it will all be in there :thumbs up:

Talk about a tight fit,
Are you sticking with rubber engine/box mount bushes or going with polyurethane?
Could there be a picture of the front or rear engine mount if possible please?

eh? Can't get PU side mounts, you can only get PU infill mounts for the front and rear, i assume the rear will be changing given that it's connected to the subframe

might be worth fitting/welding some metal inserts/sleeves into the subframe extension mounting holes, to stop them from being crushed when you fully tighten them.

 

Engine install is looking good :D
