Good to see a bit of Huddersfield engineering.

I dont know if I am going to fit it from the start, or run NA for a year yet. It mainly comes down to if I can afford the rest of the bits to fit it
between now and March 2010 I guess 
I have a set of forged rods on the way from the states, a set of pistons will be on order next month, then the month after that a custom intercooler
to sit in front of the polo rad.
So that only leaves me 4 months to do the rest of it

Lol, my projects have a habit of doing that, the pinto started out std, then got rebuilt into a 160bhp engine...
It is a Rotrex Its a C30-94, full details here:
http://www.rotrex.com/pdfs/Rotrex_Technical_Datasheet_C30_Range_V4.0.pdf
Its certainly going to be tight, and there are going to be some unavoidably tight bends in the intake system, but then everything is a compromise. I
might also have to move my steering column downlink...
I have the alternator right at the bottom of the engine on the passenger side, and the charger is going right at the top, tight under the exhaust
(with some heat sheilding) on the drivers side. Not sure at the moment how tight its going to be to get the outlet pipe on though....

just a heads up really, i ahve heard of a few Oil pump failures on forced duratec's recently.
A friend knows alot of engine builders and they are all now saying it is something to be careful of.
Last thing you want is oil failure on a lovely engine build.
I am hoping to squeeze a dry sump in too, can i ask what made you decide the C30-94 and not the 84??
i cant decide at the mo

To run 1 bar of boost the 94 is at its peak efficiency on a duratec. Also it was what was available
I can closely monitor oil pressure, so will keep an eye on that. If it needed dry sumping, that is stuff I probably cant find space for.
Hopefully someone will come up with an uprated oil pump soon!

I suppose the thing on the left is a fuel filter, but what is that thing on the right with the yellow plugs ?

It's the oil reservoir.

The ribbed thing is the oil resevoir for the supercharger as Mike says.
The filter is also for the supercharger oil system and is a magnetic particle filter.
