Ryan.G Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 That looks superb Ryan. Did I miss a call off you today? i am around all day tomorrow, AFAIK. Cheers, great project!! Yeah tried to ring you earlier about some engine questions but found the answers in the 2jzgte manual after a while. Was about the flow of the water to the head. Was toying with removing the pipe which comes of the water pump housing and goes round the back of the block. Im not using any of the water parts round the intake any longer and wanted to see what you thought about blocking up the water feed on the back of the head which normally goes to the heater system. Decided to run a feed to it in the end as the more cooling i can get to the back pf the engine i reckon the better. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 ...the more cooling i can get to the back pf the engine i reckon the better. Seeing as it'll pretty much be alongside you in the cabin, I reckon you're right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Decided to run a feed to it in the end as the more cooling i can get to the back pf the engine i reckon the better. Interesting. The feed for the throttle comes out on the inlet side and another goes through the stock cooler, this then goes round the back of the engine in an external pipe and returns at the back of the pump, unless you have the stock cooler you dont need these. The outlet from the back of the head would feed the matrix, pass through it and then returns to the same return pipe into the back of the pump. With this removed isnt all flow directed through the head from the back instead of some around the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have basically cut the pipe in half and removed in the intake side of things Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Looks like a return only to me, most of the flow comes back through the head as when the matrix is in the way and the valve closed thats the only place for it to go.

Ryan.G Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Engine is getting somewhere now. Have machined down a thread on the stock water oil exchange bolt to be able to mate my oil cooler take off. Also modifed the fuel tank hanger for 2 walbro which go into a Y piece and then a -8line to the front. Then comes up to the filter and goes into a Y again to provide fuel to both ends of the rail. Fitted the PE 650cc injectors also Finally made up all the lines for the turbo and fitted it all. Injector flow results, Thanks to AFR for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Ryan, have you got the 2 Walbro pumps you mention you'll fit? I've got a Bosch sat waiting to go in mine so you can have the Walbro currently fitted if you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
