some speedflow, filter, extra fuel pump.

 

 

 

 

 

 

hooked up innovate wideband to haltech.

 

 

eflex hooked to return line, just brass fittings to step the return down to the smaller size.

 

 

 

It now starts and runs good on the new haltech ecu, its now booked in for dyno tune on the 25th june, i leave for japan in 2 days, so this goes in 2 days after our return.

 

I now have 2 bosch pumps under the car, with a speedflow mesh 10 micron filter after the pressure pumps to look after the id2000's. I also have a 40 micron mesh aeromotive filter before the lift pump/ surge tank. Fuel rail now returns to the surge tank.

 

under the car beside the tank.

 

 

 

in the boot surge tank

 

 

I had to put in a different fuse holder for the fuel pumps, the previous one got hot and melted, connections must have been crap.

 

 

Fuel pressure gauge finally arrived so fuel rail pressure is set spot on.

 

 

This arrived today, radiator overflow, its about an inch too tall so will have to cut the bottom off and shorten it a tad.

 

 

 

I have been working on this thing a fair bit, sorting out a heap of little things, getting all the gauges working, getting it running good, and going over any issues. I changed to rear wheels today to 17s hopefully they suit the dyno better.

 

 

got a new battery cos the other one was dead, intended for a harley its pretty small, 400cca deep cycle non-spill.

 

 

Used the opportunity to add the main battery fuse inside the box, should have done it long ago.

 

 

I read on the haltech forum that air intake sensor should not be mounted into any sort of heatsink, so i moved it to the intercooler pipe just before the plenum. I cut a bit of round bar and welded it to the pipe underneath, then drill + taped the thread. Worked out overrated.

 

 

 

 

I started on the radiator overflow setup, I decided to thread the radiator overflow and taped a thread into a 6an fitting to screw onto it, I just didnt want to pull the radiator out to weld it on. I need to put the fitting on the lathe still to remove the outer thread.

I have made the stainless overflow tank i bought fit the car too, i cut it down an inch or so, and shaped the bottom to suit the car, just waiting on a 6an weld fitting to finish, and i still need to make some mounts for it, i don't have much stainless laying around.

 

 

 

 

This is how it will sit now, pretty out of view.

 

Overflow looks familiar.

 

 

Pretty good little unit for the price :y:

 

Cars looks awesome Matt!

Huge fan, super clean. I'm very keen to see this car in real life cruising the street.

Great to see some updates on this. I didn't know you were running a v4!

Are you still using that dis-4? Interested in selling it if not?

Thanks! Yep the overflow was good value 50 delivered, to make my own the weld on cap was going to be 40 and only in alloy so more maintenance. I used the dis 4 again tas, nearly went to ls1 coils but the msd throws it out like lightening stuck with it, they come up 2nd hand on boost losing and eBay a bit. I got mine for 300 with the coils 2nd hand. Providing it survives the dyno I will be at the big power cruise so should be some fun to be had! No Rego yet either but won't be an issue will sort it straight after the tune then hit the local masters show.

Figured you probably would but though I'd ask anyway. I'll most likely just run ls1 coils myself. If you do see any for sale soon let me know though. All the ones I've seen on Ebay are new and $800 odd.

What are you doing with the v4 actually? I know someone that might be keen on it!

I have been inspired. Gonna sell the KE70 and get a KE35.

lol, front wheels will be cheaper, less neg offset required. Cart springs are only good for drag racing though, no good for the corners!

I'll make it work. Thinking of a mild comp twin carb 4AGE just for a cruiser/peppy bit of fun.

Cart springs are the only real downside I can see. I'm sure theres some bits I can use to make them work pretty good.

Yeh they can be helped for sure. Remove the rubber slippers from the diff mounts. get some alloy front shackle rubbers machined up, if thats not enough install a panhard.

Dyno last friday, unfinished due to a fuel supply issue. Didnt get to e85 tune, 98 only so far so we didnt get to put some real boost into it. 310hp@20psi and [email protected], happy with that, shows plenty of promise through the 4500 stally. Would have liked to get it finished but its run in now and going strong.

Nice! Where are you getting it dyno'd?

matt spry, pits on the goldy, the man knows his stuff.

Man, read the whole thread in this few hours. One word, "AWESOME" :rocknroll:
