The BMW 2002 Turbo that had basically the same block as the S14 had the KKK turbo fitted on the side of the block, not above it. any reason why fitting the turbo above the head?

Because after looking at those conversions that had done, this had all gone above stating they found no room below. Therefore help is on hand and there was a company with experience in making the manifold, 666 Fabrication.

If you look look at the 2 stickies, Anders and Dave both go via the top. Also many Swedish S14 turbo conversions are on top.

Aldo I did not want an intercooler pipe rounded over the top. All the pipework is underneath and a neater finished in my opionion

Much work has been done, turbo cooling and oil feeds, intercooler pipework, along with oil cooler. Radiator moved over to the opposite side at the front and the air filter is located through the floor panel behind the headlight in front of the air duct to avoid hot air from the engine bay.

polycarbonate windows with heated front screen.

flocked dash with new LCD display and operating buttons with boost and traction dials. Eco and control boxes installed.

The engine has been tested for oil pressure and on turnover peaked at 65psi.

Fuel Cell set up finished

Some interior pictures. The battery and fire extinguisher system. The wiring will be a can bus system with 2 16 channel power boxes. This eliminates the need for relays and fuses. The terminals have led lights that are green when functioning correctly or different colours when not. The dash has been flocked and a 16 button keypad for the pumps, heated screen, starter button, diff cooler etc. On the top of this box extension are 2 dials for the traction and boost. The ABS unit has been removed and the ECU controls the level of traction. The screen surround has been painted back to reduce the glare.
