thats a good looking motor mate.

cant wait to see the end product

 

Cheers

You and me both

 

last of the fuel parts arrived so fuel set up finally finished, need to go pick my downpipe up from having widebang bung tigged in.

AVCR wiring for tomorrow, once thats done, in theory, it should run!

yea yea yea..

 

get it done Jon

 

AVCR is live, looks really trick in its pod all lit up could be up & running this weekend.

 

photographic evidence please

 

Will update with pics once roof-liner is trimmed il also take them pics you wanted of the fuel line adaptor thingys into the bay.

im running out of things to do its nearly 'done' ready for paint + an mot + mapping...squite a scary thought. iv not driven it for over 2 years and its a completely different car and pretty worthless as il never see my cash back.

f**k it, who am i kidding, its the most awesome car iv built to date lets blow it up av a stroker conversion in there possibly even a contender for next years sprint?

ooo rotated turbo's, inlet manifold, ceramic coating everywhere, mint tidy bay all painted royal silver..or should i go ford focus rs green?

 

Excellent progress John, it's coming on a treat. Not long now buddy

 

cheers daz

 

lol don't...scope creep is far too easy a route to get sucked down; I'm going to redo my whole fuel system for no good reason other than I liked your bulkhead fittings

 

do it proper like daz has, braided line all the way from the tank-swirlpot-bulkhead you know it makes sense. il do that eventually..when i get a swirl pot.

 

will eventually go down that route, but until I have a blower with larger gonads I'll stick to the OE fuel tank...plenty to be getting on with anyway

 

2 apexi sensors offered up, need a couple more fixings though, everything T'd in nicely with more blue stuff just need to figure out what normall closed plumbs to thats why its off!



Re-chav, er i mean re-circ valve, black piping replaced on the 18g



Ian - 2 for you. i really wish the prev owner didnt waxoil everywhere



and a bit of re-trimming




Nearly there!

 

so close!!!!!!

 

Alrite mate, great thread.

You don't happen to know the part number for the fittings you got from Steven?

And what pressure they are rated at? The only one's i can find from Goodridge have a pressure rating of 25psi!

cheers, Dave

 

bigdave - i dont mate. the only thing they actually say on them is EARLS. try the catalogues on Re-directing.. im sure they will be on there somewhere! unless Steven reads this and knows i dont know..

 

The fittings have been used at 4bar static, so right up to 6.3bar, and never had an issue.

Parts were from Earls, cant remember part numbers, just ring earls themselves, and ask for a -6 to 8mm hardliner adaptor.

 

Cheers lads, I'll give them a bell the morn!

 

Cheers Jon, have you tried cranking it yet?

 

no not yet, im expecting a call from andy @ simtek to give me some info on how to switch everything on this ecu, boards,maps, AL & LC, then im going to have to figure out something with the airfilter!

also need a bunch of jubilee clips of various hoses allover the place - but onces thats done..well someone else can crank it! im a bit aprehensive about the whole thing!

 

just double check everything before firing...crank sensor off first to make sure you have fuel pressure and it should be gravy

 

he says lol! really nervous about the next bit

then theres the awkwardness of having the car mapped before mot i really dont know how il do that haha

 

lol, it is much easier for me...don't worry I'll be bricking it when I turn mine over for the first time

just drive off boost and you should be OK

 

Only just read this tread for the first time today, really nice work!
It'll be good to see it finished, but i don't think these things ever are! Theres always something to change

 

this is only phase 1

 

^^eager beaver, planning the next round of mods before the first lot are done

 

...

 

eveything will be fine john we'll just have to double check everything before you turn that key

 

Looking good Jon.

What have you trimmed your headlining with? Looks great..

BTW, personally I am not a fan of using that blue silicone pipe for boost related stuff.
I don't trust it.

Good luck starting her up.

 

Neil, the headliners trimmed in really thin suede material like alcantara but roughly a third of the price of it!

I think the vacuum hosing will be fine, used all the correct size so its all a very tight fit.

Re-did the AVCR lines last night as it was wrong, its now all correctly done with all 3 ports in use. Purchase of a nice clutch this week i feel. Also waiting for viper performance to get back to me regarding a coupla bits.
