@ vagen

i made no modifications to mine and it ran with no issues at all

 

Inlet tract is huge, possibly a tad too big its gonna be a squeeze with the manifold bolted down anyhow.

Fuel fittings should be here by weekend so can concentrate on doing all my fuel rails + putting it all back on.

Ecu pickup 2mo

 

am a bit jelous you are that close to getting it running again...good luck!!

 

cheers dude, but theres still a waaaay to go yet

yeah its alright to say get it running but, if any problems come up il be delayed, i also need to send it to the paint shop on the back of a transporter, i also need to get an MOT on it, insure then tax also, then get it mapped up because iv changed EVERYTHING then i need a dyno run to see what its making and wether im on borrowed time or not?

the 318 also needs an MOT + tax this month...grrr! il probably sell that to fund the above.

 

at least you have an engine and it's in...I'm waiting for a call from SMg to tell me my machining has been finished

 

be worth the wait

off on the ecu run now

 

Simtek. A One off. From what i understand, its effectivly a twin simtek with two ECU's installed onto one board, both with switchable maps. Anti Lag, Launch Control & a cool gizmo to get your car through DB testing @ tracks. Thank you Andyscoobym3 for a cracking deal + meeting us half way for it..proper sorted geezer.

 

a magic switch that makes your tacho read higher for noise tests by chance

 

*cough* erm, no *cough* it turns the flux capacitor on

shh

 

sorry, will keep it zipped

 

gauges finished, soldered in properly.

before

after



Finally these came, been really looking forward to this. now i need a few more!

a bit of grinding required

add some of these

tad of measuring + screwing



plonk it all in for a quick test fit, adding a regulator along the way



And thats your lot before work, after having an empty bay for so long, this looks REALLY good

 

looking good as always

 

bling fuel rails

 

hi matey where did u get the injectors and the injector rails???wat were the prices of them???

 

beef on the bone - cheers mate
trails - its tight in there with the 18g i must admit, the 90' fittings are v nearly touching compressor housing lol!

donny, the fuel rails are from harvey smith, i paid £100 for them but TBH i think theyre the same ones that you can get on ebay from japan for £20 less? they look identical. Injectors are scoobymania/area52 740cc's

 

Looking good!

If you ever get stuck, i am just down the road, probably less than 10 mins, just past HOSM ;

Steven

 

Thanks Steven

good to know it gets approval from someone as knowlegeable as yourself will bear you in mind should (i mean when) i get stuck haha

 

I had to remove a little bit of the compressor housing to make it fit nicely

 

eek, i dont fancy that

got 20 days off around 3 shifts in aug so hoping to get some more done, i love my fuel set up cant wait to get it in concrete.

 

Your doing a nice job there.

Good luck matey.

 

very nice work there mate got a question if you dont mind...

how are you joining the braided hoses to the standard fuel filter/system with the push fitting?
(hope that makes sense)

has can you use -an fittings one end and simply push fit the other??

 

Skullfudge - thank you sir

Undecided yet Dilbob, i have a push on fitting + hose finisher to connect it to the 'fuel in' or i may try a straight fitting to see if it works (doesnt leak) but i arnt sure wether im scrapping the stock filter yet, and running a braided line to where the gearbox 'pitch' mount is and putting a bullet filter in with a 90' fitting to the 6AN T piece. I literally bought a bunch of fittings and 2m of hose to 'map' everything out to start with.

Iv been painting brackets and resi tops today, may have an update 2mo with pics. Need to go purchae an engine stand to behin 'phase 2' haha

 

Nice, that's what I did ! And the "bullet" filter too...

Cracking Grommit !

dunx

 

great minds and all that! any probs with the bullet filter dunx?

 

Nice little project you have going on there wrighty
I think royal silver car are the fastest myself
Is that a 18 or 20g you are bolting on there?
Should go very well once you get it all back together!

 

if you run a bullet filter, opt for the stainless filter rather than the paper one, as the paper one will clog up ultimately and cant easily be cleaned

 

Danny boy - 18g engineered by Zage.

Steven - again advice noted il bear that in mind when purchasing..iv decided tonight to go for one and run a 90' to the T for fuel in

*goes off to spend a penny*

 

Looking good m8 - keep going at it

 

Looking good wrighty....

 

Really appreciate the comments guys, its one thing looking at a project but thanks for sticking your comments down aswell - its not that special compared to some of the cars on here but its good to know their owners think im 'probably' going in the right direction with it haha
