went to see p20spd today who who hooked me up with a new fuel filter and fittings i need for the rest of the fuel rail set up, bloody nice chap. Had a good talk about lots of things to say the least. Thanks very much!

Auto jumble also came up trumps for stainless fixings for the injectors...finally! will get some pics this week at some point, should be back together in a week or so..

Cracked on today, mainly clearing garage out of more crap to make more room for a proper workbench for engine building

got the fuel rails mounted to the manifold with new fixings, went to put the new o-rings on and realised id forgot the vaseline! quick pic of rails mounted - injector caps magically turned day glo overnight so just need to fit them now. no pics though


got these off p20spd yesterday to mount to bulkhead fuel rails

this also, modded his twin bracked to fit where standard filter went for simplicity


would have cleaned the wax oil off but iv lost interest in being a tart now, it will get painted at some point anyway! function over form and all that..

Thought the filter looked lonely over there so trail fitted the catch can to keep it company, think it may stay!


bought some 15mm breather hose to let me engine breath, im remotely mounting VTA filters now so as not to get an oily smell in the cab! so they will go down near the road somewhere. Just needed to block one of the crank breather takes offs now but couldnt find a bolt or anything soooo..the next bit is a bit blue peter! lol

Out came a grinder


Take some agressive snips to your pepsi can to blank the hole you just exposed


Pour some fiberglass resin in a pot and add enough hardner to make it produce thermonuclear amounts of heat lol and cover your pepsi can cutout.

Allow it to set and hey presto


Chopped a bit of hose long enough to recirculate some pressure


Then had a fire and came home, a day well spent lol
