I have no ecu so thats not an option lol. I know you can get a oil pressure switch that is made for electric fuel pump setups. I think I have enough fittings for oil so I'm piggy backing of the factory pressure switch.

Over the last few days I have spent a fair bit of time on the car. It is almost ready to start. I dropped the sump down and swapped over my timing covers.

 

The picture shows a heater hose as a drain hose, just dummied atm. soon to get proper hose.

Top of the list tomorrow.

Also had a play with the front suspension and wheel fitment. I'm happy with the result.

I did a lot of reading and have decided on a tyre size. I'm running 7" wide all round and they will be wrapped in 185/60R14. Currently it has 195/60R14 to give you an idea. A little bit of stretch.

Put a battery in the car today and tried out the fuel pump. I left the fuel line that runs to the carbie In a jug. However all that came out was air. I rechecked polarity of the fuel pump, this led to know gain. I finally decided to remove the tank and have a look.

 

It turns out that The modded pickup for an in tank pump that I was going to run caused the problem. I cut the line that is normally used as the In tank pickup to join the in tank pump in. This lead to reusing the std pickup. But at some point it fell off... Don't use spring lamps!!! Fixed that and now I get 7psi at the carbie.

 

Tomorrow will be first start up...

 

 

All I have to say is... Life get in the way of dreams...

 

 

Peace

Update. Getting so close to starting. Sadly when I hit the key today the result was nothing... checked the wiring and find nothing wrong. Checked with a multi meter and ever thing is working as it should, besides the starter. I pulled it out and tested on the ground to confirm. Nothing. Grabbed a old starter I had lying around. I tested it before putting it in. Worked great. I put it in and did every thing up. This time the starter spun but I don't think it is throwing far enough to engage the teeth on the flywheel. By this time I had enough and gave up. Ill pull the starter motor out tomorrow and have a closer look.

 

Also had my hubs machined so that the RX7 brake disc's can fit over them. The 14's make them look huge lol.

Trust me, I hit it!

 

Might need a bigger hammer!!haha

 

I do like the oil drain. I'll show my mate who's making my manifolds and see if he thinks he can make it work with mine(if that's ok with you?)

BB turbos are very sensitive when it comes to this.

I Know it has been a long time but life gets in the way some times.

 

However for the first time today the car had oil pressure. I cranked it over to get oil to every where it is needed ie. the turbo. This was done with the spark disconnected. Now to see if I have spark....

I have put power to the solenoid and then hit the key. It fires and dies as soon as I stop cranking.

 

 

I have change to an electronic Dizzy and removed the condenser. I am also using a electronic Ign coil.

 

I'm thinking I have messed up the wiring some how.

 

does any one have a wiring diagram?
