do i notice a name change fella,


fair play to ya ,


im contemplating the pf blackpool night out , may be an oppertunity to bring the bits


beef

 

Yes mate, name changed as it wasn't really fair on the people who were PM'ing me regarding cars coming into MSD when i wasn't working there full time. Felt a bit rude replying and asking them to ring the office or PM James/Stu.

 

oooooooo Will, very nice!

 

Quick update on todays work!

Knocked up some 3mm steel plate mounting plates for the seat brackets:


With the seat brackets attached:


Mounted:


Passenger seat in:

 

Took a standard coilpack bracket and marked out...


Attacked with angle grinder:


Smoothed all the raised areas inside:


Bonded a piece of carbon on:


For the water injection pump to live on:



Will hopefully make some more progress this week!

 

Nice little mod that Will.

Bet your engine bay is busy with all the stuff inside it.

Any dates for when your manifold arrives?

 

Should have been shipped today from the states

 

looking good will

 

Sweet. Looking forward to seeing the V-Band setup on it

 

Good idea for the water inj

 

doesent the water pump need to be isolated from vibration?

no idea myself, just sounds odd........

 

coming along nicely, love the carbon goodies

 

just read it from start to finnish and its one hell of a journey! great car love all the mods!!!

 

Few photos from yesterday!

Whipped the fuel rail and injectors out, old injectors on the right (now for sale!) and new ones on the left:


That magic number!


Very glad i double checked the fuel rail before it went back on - it would appear that the aeroquip fittings chased a piece of swarf out!


New injectors in and fuel lines reattached:


And then it was time to strip everything back so i could remove the middle section of the sump to go for my turbo oil return fitting to be put in...


Hopefully getting a good crack at it tomorrow so will keep the photos coming...

 

looking good there will, whats injectors you have for sale now ?

 

Siemens 60lb Dekkas - High Impedance.

Was always on the cards


I fitted these anti vibration mounts to the carbon for the water injection pump:


Which when tightened compress:


To give:


Then fitted the water injection jet and line and mounted the flow meter:


Pump mounted and plumbed:


Then mounted the nitrous pressure sensor into the take off block:


And piped up the bottle feed:


Jetted the solenoid:


Mounted the solenoid:


End result:

 

Great updates ,well done

 

Cool work

Brian

 

love it

 

Well, got my sump back today from my good friend Lee. Done a cracking job of adapting it to -10 for my turbo oil return



Hopefully if things go to plan tomorrow i'll get quite a bit more done

 

looking good will

 

spot on mate

 

Top Stuff Will

 

Well, as i'm sat twiddling my thumbs waiting for the manifold to be released from customs (who are being an absolute joke about it! Item was shipped nearly 3 weeks ago now!) i've done a couple of other jobs...

First of all, drilled a hole in my sump and cleaned the area around it.


Next i made a boss out of a 1/8" adaptor i had lying around and got James to weld it for me:


To ensure it was oil tight, we also expoxied the outside - after a quick rub down:


Time for a quick flash of paint to stop it rusting:


And that will be my new oil temperature sensor location


Then it was time to remove the manky old gearbox mount:


And fit a shiny new Vibra-Technics competition one:


Then knock up a quick aluminium bracket:


And mount the carbon fibre oil breather:


End result:


Next week should see the sumps refitted and then we'll play the waiting game for the manifold...

 

top work mate nice progress. Will it be finished for this year Will. You coming to scotch corner next sunday 28th march.

 

This is quite possibly shaping up to be one of the most extensive and comprehensive zetec builds I've ever seen. Actually never seen so much attention to detail and custom work like it before on a mass produced engine that's been turbo'd and supercharged to the hills by everyone nice to see a slightly different approach!

 

 

looking ace as always will

 

if you do come to scotch corner , bring a bigger car lol ,


the garage is getting smaller lol


saying that , i could take a day out sausage , view the wonders of blackpool lol

 

ohh and i best be getting a run out in this lol

 

Looks like its still keeping you busy.

 

Thanks for the comments guys

Glenn/Beef - i'm afraid i can't make Scotch Corner, i'm working on an Evo down in the West Midlands next weekend.

Beefster - will bell you in the week to sort out the parts

 

My oh my. looks like this will be a beast. i think i should have it.
