Keyser Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Getting there mate, I'm going to look at my down pipe tomorrow, I can't put my finger on it but something looks different from mine to yours???? I also didnt have as much pressure on the IC pipe joint mine is more "inline" - I added a suppourt to the U bend in front of the arch liner as well otherwise it just hangs there. Keep up the great work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Unless ive put the thing in upside down?(pritty sure I tried the otherway = Fail) You have longer couplers with yours so that will give you more play. Going to make another bracket for that side of the intercooler and one for the bottom of the power steering cooler using its old brackets hopefully. Thanks for having a look, I would love to put another bracket on the pipe but dont have welding gear at home =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chubby Ninja Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hey keyser how come you have longer couplers than evilscorp? Did you buy different ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hey keyser how come you have longer couplers than evilscorp? Did you buy different ones? I think when he bought the car the previous owner had the same issues of the couplers being too short, I know DarrenB's got longer couplers as he had problems too.

The Chubby Ninja Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Hahaha is that music vid taking the p1ss? Its terrible lol. Evilscorp are you going to get larger ones then? Also where can you get them from? Edited March 6, 2013 by The Chubby Ninja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 I got larger ones(two for the intercooler and two for the maf and throttle body) if I hadnt ordered them I dont think I would get them to fit at all. You can see they are the black ones compared with the vortech blue. Ordered from ash hoses I will pm you mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilscorp Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Well I managed to sh@i* myself when I forgot to remove the brake fluid cover from the windscreen wiper area and the wipers were set to full speed (when I climbed over into driver seat). wiper may need a new blade also Anyone know of a way to cut and shut aircon pipes? would rather not buy new ones to then try and bend them, (even though the one I bent already had a gash in it before I started ) Predator bleeds! Also the tolerances of this kit is shocking! had to move so many wires etc, and still squeezes the radiator hoses and is so dam close to cables!

evilscorp Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Tried to start it up again, nice sound of fuel pissing out of somewhere Plenum off Works better when you put the fittings the correct way around Then tried again.... more fuel spewing out the wee silver nut, nothing a bit of ptfe tape and a good tighten wont sort! one more time! and she kept pressure! but tired adjusting it on the fuel pressure reg but it just stayed around 20 psi??? Is this correct? i.e. can I only adjust it when I start the car or should I have been able to see pressure change when I screwed the wee thing on top up or down? Will have to wait till after my holiday to fire her up for real. Also cancelled RS tuning as I would rather have the car finished before going down to get it tuned.
