Trig Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Engine wiring is getting there now just few more sensors to get and the dash to wire in. Few small jobs done today. Timing wheel fitted to the crank pulley. And the sensor bracket made and fitted. And a stroke of luck with the final part of the steering which fitted perfectly with NO modifications 😉 Hoping to get few more hours on the loom tomorrow.

Trig Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Must be boring you again lol. Small steps to start up time. New rocker gaskets And throttle body's going to there final resting place. And a mate that runs the same ECU popped in just to make shore it powered up and give me some pointers on how what needs to be done before we start making noise. O and the same mate has offered to build the axle up for me in his spare time to help out. So thought I better do this quickly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Last few wires going on tonight then it's just getting a belt for the alternator oil in the engine. Fuel in the tank nut bolt check and we should be ready for test fire. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 One step closer after a nightmare with fuel rails injectors I decided to make one rail out the two original rails think it came out pretty well.

Trig Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Well after all the grief a mate looked at the pic and rang me to say you can't mug weld fuel rails as the crack under pressure they have to be brazed. 😢😢😢 So today they was all ground back as much as posable and rewelded with braze. Just need to make a couple of brackets to hold it in now. 😜 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fake ben taylor Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 What alternator/bracket is that? Any more pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 What alternator/bracket is that? Any more pics? I'll get one in a bit mate it's just a eBay job turnbuckle 😉 Lots of different sizes on there. A lot of Motorsport and engine builders are now selling them at a hipped up fee. Anyways exhaust is done now just have to tidy up again. 😢 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Getting on for 26k views on this build, and if most are like me - just gob-smacked at what you putting together, with the exhaust set-up being the latest example of your skills and ingenunity. Anything but boring - hats off to you! Edited April 30, 2016 by Ebized 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Cheers mate just need to sort out the heat shielding now. Thinking of wrap and some alloy plates between exhaust and engine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 What alternator/bracket is that? Any more pics? The bracket on the alternator came with it. It's a power lite rac065 same as a cheap denso but with some machining done and this bracket on it. The adjuster is a eBay job. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Still needs a bit more setting up and rad fitting properly before I can run it. Hopefully got few loose ends sorted this weekend then I'll get a video for you guys. Have to get the rest done ASAP so I can take it for mapping too.

Trig Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Little vid for you guys. Fingers crossed that's the engine ready to go for mapping now. Just need to get the suspension brakes on and work out how to shorten the carbon prop. https://vimeo.com/167660453 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
