thanks mate hope your build is going good too !

 

Spoke with mark from lateral about injectors so trying to source some 440cc for him to fetal to 900cc that should give me some scope for the future !

Sold my 440cc's gutted !!!!!

 

why not just buy 900cc injetors what are the benefits of doing it that way

 

What can a ej20 engine be bored out to!

 

If it's a 92mm then it can go + .5-1.0mm so 93mm

 

I will know they are what they say they are and have been done right !

 

I have so much to learn

 

Too right mate always learning

 

Had a day removing the boot hinges and lock today so i could install the boot pins and springs .

Took a few pictures aswell after a clean up !

 

 

looking good. wish i had that much room in the workshop

 

I have at the minute mate but when its all been wired and marked bays il only have 14ft x 14ft but enough to do what i want !

 

My lad ollie took a quick vid of the car and edited it with some music .

Sourced some 440cc injectors from a low mileage turbo 200 and have sent them to mark at lateral to be flow matched to 900cc or there abouts.

wiring is getting started a week on sat but been a slow process having been let down so many times .

 

Just had a text from my auto electrician Paul deakes saying he has everything needed to install push button and battery isolator so progression at last..! finally getting some where .

Mark from lateral has confirmed my injectors will be ready next week may hear the beast roar befor xmas ...!

 

Result

 

just want it done now ready for next year to enjoy.

 

Auto sparky has been today and refitted the loom to where it should be ,had to first remove the dash again to allow access to fixing bolts of the loom.
Then we installed 2 new 35mm tri rated battery cable to enable the battery isolator to isolate the complete car in case of emergency and when not in use.

All that is needed to do next week is fit the push button start via a relay wire the bosch o44 fuel pump via a relay and switch with indicator lights and refit the injectors when they return from lateral.

 

The wiring is now in place and new isolator switch is now wired in 35mm tri rated cable so will now shut off the electrical supply to the car.The dash had to come out again but was really easier to make better access .





I fitted 2 stuffing glands in the grommets to feed new battery cable through as you can see in the picture.



The push button and relay and the fuel pump relay will be fitted next sat so far so good.

 

getting there bud

 

Slowley , I love Xmas time with friends and family so car has taken a step back till next year really, just seen the pics of yours mate looking great don't suppose you fancy a trip to Grimsby next year to do my arches do you ? Lol

 

What size are your wheels?

How are you finding the boot fittings, my boot rattles all over the place and i would greatly like it not to rattle ha, are all the hinges and the torsion bar removed, what holds the bottom down near where the lock would be?

Thanks

 

Hi mate the wheels are 18" the boot is fasented down with 12mm boot pins that are very sturdy and boot springs that are riveted onto rear light quaters.

I removed all the spring hinges and torsion bar as you mentioned as they're not needed.
hope that helps you il put some pics up and show the rear boot springs tommorow.

cheers lee

 

Just found a pic of my car the day after i bought it in 2009

 

Thanks

 

I have been busy earning some extra cash rewiring the workshop but got ten minutes to fit some white door squares and fit the stickers i bought yonks ago just need my lucky number now !







The switches now work ignition 1,ignition 2 , high pressure pump and push button start just need to tidy rear loom and refit the dash i have made labels for the switches but still need to fit indication lights for instead of the bottom 4 switches as my original plan went out the window...!

 

As its been chucking it down all day and the misses wanting a lie in i thought i'd pop down the garage to iron out a few loose ends .
Started out by fitting the drivers door square and decals then decided to hoover the floor pan ready to fit the sticky back foot grip the stuff you put on aluminium steps to stop your foot slipping off worked a treat really.

I then fitted some door closers i ordered from a company that specialises in rally car parts i pot rivet them in place and work a treat.
I started to tie back with tie wraps unwanted wiring such as heater control and stereo wiring .
I then removed the x4 rocker switches to replace with indicator lamps when the arrive.

 

How much wiring loom are you going to have when finished?
I've been working on mine today and it's one time consuming task that i hope never to have to do again whilst the car is running and fully built.
It's slowly getting there but the worst of the loom behind the dash is real hard to tidy up as there is wires all over the place.
When i remove the alarm i am going to be completely stuck as the engines going to be immobilised.

Any news on them photographs of the bonnet setup with the pins and all?

Thanks

 

Most of the loom is still in just not plugged in to things such as heater,switches for operating wing mirrors etc... the rear loom is my next mission before its finally plugged in and the last tidying up to do before seat is bolted in.

I will post some pics of rear boot springs tommorow night when i get in from work mate are you removing the rear boot hinges as i did so boot totally lifts off ?

 

Just need to source a good clutch and flywheel something that can handle 380/380 will be fine for now any sugestions ?

Then pic up injectors from lateral , buy exhaust cat back from revoloution , FPR to find couple up wiring then ready for the map
