hodge Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Still a bit to do yet guys. This walbro pump doesn't seem to like 7v that the fuel pump ECU is giving it on idle so it's turning itself off. I need to upgrade the wiring and do a 12v relay to battery but it's no big deal. Some more wiring needs to be done and a few bits altered slightly and were good to go.

Lee P Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Just take the fuel pump ecu out and put a relay in its place using the stock wiring The car won't start on the stock ecu then though so will need the syvecs in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony tt Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 All going well I should collect the car this Thursday coming. Trailering it to Farnborough to Syvecs HQ for drop off Friday morning. Syvecs to get fitted and all sensors completed. IO expander for the gearbox and finally mapped. Shouldn't be long now. Hodge has played an absolute blinder with my car he's really put in the hours to get it finished for me to tie in with Ryan. Huge respect for hodge he really is a gent. All going well road trip Thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Bad news. After all Johns hard work he noticed the crank seal was weeping so that needs go be changed and a new oil pump. Real bummer as everything he has done will need stripped again. I did know about it but had no idea it would have shat itself on the dyno as a result of it leaking slightly. So thankful he found it though the guys a legend. So it's going to be a little while yet before it's ready but better safe than sorry.

Hassan Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 The funny thing is the seal is next to notting but the labour involved is scary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 im sure the new seal gets knocked in over the old one, as the old one is a twat to get out, and could perish. or is that the gear box seal, crap can't remember. anyway better caught now than when the engine went pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay1374 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 The car looks awesome! Bummer about the seal. I had to do mine recently. Only took a couple hours. Should take hodge no time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
