Im afraid i didnt Pete. Bugger, knew i should have done something. Its all bonded in now so im reluctant to remove it again.
What information was you looking for? Anything in particular mate?

 

Just thought it would give people a good idea on exactly how much needs to be cut out and what it looks like when cut out.
Im tempted to order one from you matey i need to see what my spends are like next week,if iv enough ill take some pics for you dude.
Be good to see what they look like in a finished bay too with a nice big filter sat in there.

 

No worries Pete, keep me posted

 

Change of subject quickly are you having a swirl pot etc in the boot mate?

 

No mate,

Im going to be running the swirl pot under the bonnet. I dont want the noise or smell of a fuel system in the car.

 

That sounds like a good idea, i didn't know whether to do a swirl pot or just have a bosch mounted in tank.

 

Ive deleted the washer bottle Si so the swirlpot will be mounted in its place.
I know ist a fit and forget solution that way and i dont have to mess around with the stock lines at all. The Walboro will lift to the pot via the stock lines. The motor will then be fed by a Bosch 413 via twin rails to 1000cc injectors. This will return to the pot via a fuelab regualtor and then finally back down the OEM return line to the tank.

 

Are you not having a washer bottle at all then? I basicaly have a similar setup at the min apart from the swirl pot of course, and my injectors are modified lateral ones (900cc) i want to keep my washer bottle realy so i dont know where else i could mount the swirl pot.

I presume you have the bosch mounted on the chassis leg next to the swirl pot? Or is it on the bulkhead?

 

No mate, I'll still have a washer bottle but no longer under the bonnet. The newage stis have a water spray tank mounted in the boot as standard. This will become my washer bottle.

 

Genius

Awesome build, would love to see this car in the flesh !

Keep up the good work

 

....and after a quick test, we know it works too!

 

I thought it was only some newages that had that, like the spec c etc.

Well i think a shall go with the bosch mounted in tank option, its not going to do any track work and only occasional 1/4 mile so should be sufficient.

 

In tank wil be fine Si. I just wanted the belt/braces of a swirl pot.

 

My bugeye sti wagon has water spray tank in engine bay to rhs of intercooler.

 

hey frayz,

great project!!!

quick question where did you get the crank turning torque measurement from? also what is the value?

many thanks

TOm

 

That's alot of fecking screenwash Good idea though.

 

I've been runnng this set up for some time, just plumbed the intercooler water spray feed hose directly into the washer jets. Have noticed that on the track when braking hard into corners screen wash dribbles out of the washers , not a problem though.

 

Looks lovely Frayz, super neat

 

I was referring to the fact of it being in the boot behind the rear seat

 

Cheers guys,

Yeah Si, all newage stis have the water spray tank in the rear RHS of the boot. The Spec C has a 12ltr tank mounted behind the rear seat but this isnt needed.

 

Ah i see thats where i was getting confused. Didn't realise they all had them.

You learn something new everyday

 

Had a little cry tonight as the Recaro finally came out for its new owner. Droped the pair of Prodrives in on their new frames and loose assembled them in before i lost the light.
They look nice and are comfortable, so far so good. Pics to follow once i have some daylight

 

Come on Frayz your slacking

Get that engine in too

 

Lol, crap holdups at the mo dude. I want it in ASAP now!

 

If you need a hand, or a spectator when your ready to drop it in give us a shout mate. Be glad to assist.

 

Lol @ spectator. I have a few offers of those haha. Cheers anyways fella.

Right now im waiting on a cambelt guide, boost pipework and my intake manifold. Oh and the bloody rain to stop!!

 

Reason i said spectator is if your the sort of person that would rather do it yourself. Offers there anyway

 

Lol, you know me mate

Cheers for the offer

 

Pics as promised.

Sorry for the photos, flash plays havoc with low light and dark objects. They look nice in the flesh and feel quite comfy. Only a journey will tell lol.

New steering wheel setup should be here in the coming weeks. These jobs are just tiding me over at the mo till i can get the final bits to drop the motor back in. ("tick tock" "tick tock" lol)

 

The whole interior looks bang on now mate!!

The seats have added the finishing touch
