TheTurtleshead Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Took advantage of a nice sunny day today, and worked out how to mount my oil cooler. I've had these bits of aluminium lurking in the garage for almost a year for this very job. I just need to make up some ducting from the scoop on the bumper now. Also toying with the idea of adding a tiny little kenlowe fan to aid cooling when in traffic etc. Edited February 10, 2015 by TheTurtleshead (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Fuel Pressure Regulator has been mounted in a similar style to the oil cooler, on it's own private plinth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Today I did this!! I had to drop the subframe to allow me to fit my -8 Hard line in place of the stock fuel feed. I copied the stock setup of a rubber hose from the top of the tank to the hard line above the sub frame, and then a hard line to the filter. Hard line straightened out: New hard line is a -8 copy of the stock 5/16 feed: I replaced the filter with an large bore Aeromotive one. which allows me to go -8 straight into one end of the rail. I also fitted my custom pump hanger with Bosch 044 installed and ready to go.

David P Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Keep the O.E. pipe, those are regularly wanted items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Keep the O.E. pipe, those are regularly wanted items. Reserved for Shane's new project. ********************************* Today I did this! My phone died and I have actually finished the fuel system entirely now. I pressurised the system up by bridging the fP & B+ terminals on the under bonnet diag port. Wound the FPR up to 4 bar and checked for leaks. I couldn't see anything and the pressure was rock steady.. Winning! Fitted my bosch knock sensor and torqued to 20nm/14.8ft.lbs as per Bosch specs. Fitted my new runners with 14mm injector bungs welded in. This is the only pic I took of the fuel lines before the phone died! This the -6 return from FPR to rail. Full specs of the fuel system are: -ID1000cc Injectors(Cleaned and flow tested by Chris Wilson) -HKS Fuel Rail -Runners with welded collets -Bosch 044 Pump -AN8 Feed line to Aeromotive Filter -AN8 Feed to Rear of Rail -AN6 Return to FPR -AN6 Return to stock return line Total cost is around £850 for anyone interested. I got some bargains so I'd say a grand would get you this setup normally. It should do ~750hp/850bhp I think, then the pump will become the limiting factor. I'll take more pics of progress tomorrow!

TheTurtleshead Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 A few more pics of where I got up to last night! Injectors and rail complete, AN6 out AN8 in. Think there might be a crack in my fuel pressure gauge....! [TABLE=width: 76] [/TABLE] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 thats not a crack its meant to be like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Success! Syvecs in, fuel pump relay adapter plugged in, sensor loom pinned in...! It all looks ok apart from the Cal Switch,which is doing weird things, which I will investigate tomorrow. Thanks to Lee for the base map! If I get my oil cooler lines made up, and the VVTi Oil housing bolt I ordered from toyota turns up, I might be able to fire her up at the weekend.

TheTurtleshead Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 You waste no time do you james lol Over the last year I haven't had the time to waste Alex. It will get harder soon with the new job, as my weekends are going to be busy. However I will be able to spend time in the evenings on my cars as I will be at home in the week, unlike before away for 5 days at a time! But yeah.... I am impatient. I have had the adapters for injectors, fuel pump relay, map sensor etc... plus the sensor loom and the syvecs patch loom made up and sitting in a box ready for a year don't forget. The trick to speedy assembly is planning all this stuff out beforehand! - - - Updated - - - Great write ups of the mods you're doing. Love seeing a decent homer come along.

abtin90 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Good choice on going single rather than big twins. What manifold and wastegate are you using for the build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Good choice on going single rather than big twins. What manifold and wastegate are you using for the build? A new kit from a trader on here. I can't post pics yet as the kit isn't released. It will be a HKS 60mm waste gate, the manifold is twin scroll, and my DP is 3". The quality is stunning and I have been dribbling over the pictures for the last couple of days. Cannot wait to get my hands on it! I will be posting up a full, and detailed product review of the new kit once I have it fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sounds good it'll be interesting to see what you make of it. Have you got an goal in mind when it comes to power? And will you be sticking with the stock inlet?

TheTurtleshead Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 So I finished the first milestone today! Oil Cooler lines complete, VVti oil filter housing bolt and oil pressure sensor fitted: So now the bay looks like this, pretty standard with a few sneaky additions. MAP Sensor adapter plugs into stock loom. Apart from the Auto to Manual conversion I have not modified the stock loom one bit. Syvecs sensor loom just plugs straight in. Easy engine removal guaranteed- No cutting here! AANNNDD IT'S ALIIIIIVEEEEEE!!! Now powered by Syvecs. :D:D I had a small confusion with the idle control valve being assigned wrong. but changing the pin assignments round saw it idling like a baby at 850 RPM. It just needed a little global tweak of the Fuel map and the idle map up/down respectively and it starts and runs perfectly. So, so pleased my loom adapter is doing it's job. Thanks to Lee for the base map! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleshead Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Nice work. What clutch you using James? RPS Streetmax with a stock centre disk.... not sure what it will hold. The internet tells me around 600 ft/lb.. not sure tbh! If it fails I'll get an LA twin. Edit: MVP Say 660 ft/lbs Torque for an RPS Cover plate and stock disc.
