hodge Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Loving the work, mate! Really inspiring stuff, even if what you're inspiring is going to add lots of time (not to mention money) to my Supra build Although, can I repay the favour and suggest welding all the unnecessary holes in the engine bay? They arnt any unnessessery holes I spent about 6 weeks filling them. I left certain ones for specifics. Apart from that there all gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoops, now I look like a bell-end :s Sorry! I had another look at your bay pics, and I think I was referring to smoothing... I've been looking at lots of Civic bays, and they've fried my brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Whats the status on the engine bud? ETA on fire up & list of things you need to complete on the engine before it's ready? I'll be ordering the Syvecs and adaptor loom from Ryan in the next couple of weeks. I've got a little soldering to do, fill it with oil and it's ready to fire. Before it's drivable though I need to change the diff oil, and bleed the clutch again. I'm not sure if I just havnt bled it off enough or there's an issue with it as it doesn't seem to be engaging correctly when I depress the pedal. Thinking of heading over for the startup? You can call over when it's running make cos if it all goes pear shaped on start up I'll be in a right rage lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Small update guys. I'm going to give Ryan a call midweek next week to order the Syvecs. I've already got the adaptor harness on order which he estimated would take a couple of weeks to make, as I've asked him to make it to my spec with a few funky extra wires etc. SOOOOOO, I'm hoping to have this running in a couple of weeks if all goes according to plan.

hodge Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Firing day is getting ever closer I'm starting to change all the little bits that concern me. When I fitted the -8AN fuel line it had a small crease in it as I mounted it up onto the chassis. Now even though the line is safe upto silly Bar of pressure I was concerned that over time it was going to burst. And seems it was directly above the exhaust thought it was a good idea to change it. Now I've had the fuel system primed already with no leaks but it was still in the back of my mind. So if not for just piece of mind, out it came tonight. I've fed the new line over the tank and down under the car. Going to finish it off tomorrow once I've got back in from the gym. Here's the concerning crease in the line. Doesn't look bad but I was pretty paranoid about it to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 I was just concerned it was going to pop on boost and empty my tank all over a hot exhaust. I may even change the injector o-rings:d The car is virtually ready to start apart from needing filling with oil. I've got a resistor pack and a couple more cables to wire into the loom adaptor Ryan is making up for me and it's ready to fire. This weekend I'm going to remove the whole interior angina and clean it all down as it's covered in dust from the bodywork I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Think I'll get some oil at the weekend too, so I can see how the engine turns over. If I leave the ECU off to stop the fuel pump priming, and take the plugs out, then turn the car over it should (hopefully). Prime all the oil ways and lube the engine. Well either that of go crunch crunch bang lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
