jagman Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Fair play, given the problems you have had along your conversion path,you have stuck to your task , many would have given up by now. It gives everyone an insight into just how hard such projects are, and you have done it all by eye , no CAD/CAM,and trial and error used .and all for less than a F1 team spend on one steering link ! Such DIY rocks, who needs HKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) I can't see how you have plumbed in the engine breather pipework, but if you haven't already, you need to have those rocker breather pipes connected to the suck side of the induction system to prevent over pressure in crank case. Otherwise you could be blowing out a crank oil seal. Edited June 22, 2010 by David P (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barneybrendan Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 fiew more things done today. wired the fans in with darren,but the temp controler isnt right the markings dont line up so temp will have to be done by trial and error.The wirring still has to be tidied up ,could do with some sort of box to fit it all in. the intercooler pipes are now fitted back on with silicone couplings but the couplings were bigger than the crap rubber ones so all the pipes had to be trimmed again to fit.The bov needs adjusting still as its still open when throttle pressed. The oil filter has been moved back and now clears the bumper mesh. Had a bit of a headache as the car wouldnt start again.Found out it was the spark plugs breaking down and sparking nilly willy.These came out of pudseys vvti and were iridium.Orderd some ngk 8's now. The car sound much better with the sweeping 180 degree bends now,none of that air turbulance noise.All you get now is the whistle from the charger,oh and the exhaust note which is rather loud this needs changing soon. Bumper is now bolted back on properly and it finally looks like my old car again. At the moment it is smoking rather badly very rich,plus the mix match of plugs in there at the moment aint helping. first time for 9 months that the car has move dmore than a foot.You can definately feel the car wants to go as you rev a little and pull away,and thats with the bov still venting off slightly. :d: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barneybrendan Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 had the car ticking over for a while to see what oil pressure drops to.On idle it drops to 20 on the gauge ,also found that the temp gauge isnt working as that is still flashing away on the same number as when the car is started. So thats the oil temp and boost gauge not working correctly and the temp set switch for the fans. Every time i think im ready to take the car to AFR something keeps cropping up.My plan now is to take the car up as the gauges can be sorted after when the car is running right,so its trailer up and back i think.
