Best of luck mate

 

thanks clive

 

coming on well clive

do you use pump e85 in yours or e85r

steve

 

V Power + 20% Meth in the blue one mate, will do the same with the Type R too as have gallons of Meth spare

 

ahh i thought you ran e85

 

Todays progress

Secured the Power FC




Sorted the dash to fit the AVC-R




Then fitted headlights and grill




Then went about wiring up the air temp sensor to the old standard sensor wiring, now the FC commander will show air inlet temps. Also handy to have if I upgrade ECU in the future



Also been refurbing a set of wheels I picked up a couple of weeks ago, going for a light bronze colour

 

coming together...............

 

Yeah, we are pushing it now though. Good few things to do and it still hasn't turned over yet! Hopefully get it started next weekend now. Then need to pick my brakes up from Paul at Zen and then hopefully he will be able to fit us in for mapping and sort the geometry before the end of the month.

 

get yourself booked on the trackday at oulton on 23rd april, there is loads of my mates going clive you will be made very welcome pal

 

Would love to Andy and thanks for the invite, but my time over the next month is real tight. Only a couple of decent weekends now on the Type R as I want to get the Blue car on the strip on Saeurday 17th, looks like I will be heading off to Shakespeare Raceway for that one. And I can't get much more time out of work as I have only just got back off hols

Big day on the Type R today, started nice and early to try and get as much done as possible.

Started with the ALK





Had a visit from Mr Hoops for an hour so he fitted strut brace and then helped me bleed the clutch



Then I went about tidying wiring, fitting boost solenoid (anyone know which way round com and on are for the compressor side and actuator, I have forgotten) etc.




DV and final intercooler pipe on



Inlet side all finished



Then Paul popped round to drop something off so I asked him if he fancied turning it over !

And it lives !!!

 

like the mascot buddy spos its been getting lonely down there on your own

 

Ah I take it he dropped the headers off as I forgot to remind steven

 

Sy's old intercooler pipe?

 

Yes mate well spotted ! Ideal as had the temp sensor boss fitted.

Need to pick those brakes up from you sometime soon fella, then we will see if it drives

 

No mate, no idea if they made it back this way (Are they with you Paul?) Although they will come in handy now as the ones fitted are blowing

Still have another set hanging in the garage but your old ones may be a better option.

 

****, that is what i was meant trying to remember to give Paul before he left. I will bring them down this weekend, as i will be going down to Paul's.

 

It was only you who reminded me about them

 

Nice one Steven, thanks

 

Better not let your Mrs see that you let your little one leave that there !

 

Can anyone tell me what amp wire I need to relocate battery to boot ?

 

I have used 8 guage mate

 

Ta, I may just move the washer bottle actually. Easier and cheaper

 

MH, what air inlet temp sensor is that?! I have a PFC and would like to add an air inlet temp sensor to, etc....

 

I did both mate, i used my i/c spray bottle in the boot for my washers and chucked the bat in there as well. Cost me about 50 quid in parts, so not too bad

 

STI's/Type R's had the wiring as standard mate. Original sensor junked and then I fitted an old Denso air temp sensor to intercooler pipework

 

Cheers. So if I fit a Denso air temp, I'll be able to make it work with the PFC? Do you know where I can get one and what pinouts of the ECU it wires to?


Re the Apexi BCS hook-up, see post #39:-

Clive, on one pic I see you're got the AVCR MAP sensor inlet on the horizontal, I always thought it should be pointing down? Not sure what difference it makes, mind.

 

125 mate

 

Thanks mate
