Thanks guys
Was very humbled by all the attention it got and people wanting to congratulate me on finishing the build and what a top job is done, makes it all worthwhile after the 6 years of non stop headaches and expense
The car ran faultless even with a cheapo Ł100 gearbox in it, did t have to touch it at all, just checked oil and water between sessions which were fine as well, no top ups needed
Anyway here is a onboard video for the 2nd session
Andy Gallacher getting a bit sideways at 08:50 in roughly too

The car is a real credit to you Marc
It looks like you have put together a very usable car with the power ,brakes and suspension
Wish I could of come to ff and saw the car

There is only an inlet just under the rear prop flange. The fluid is at 228psi and just flows back up the line and the pump puts it back in to the reservoir when not under pressure, just like hydraulic brakes or clutch.
Pirtek made up my pipes and they did a nice t piece to the pie that goes in to the box, that way you can run the gauge to see what it is doing.
The pumps CAN exceed 600 psiso need to be correctly plumbed but I think I am right that 228 is fully locked diff.
In your pic the long pipe with the banjo is the high pressure into the box...mine is a straight connector.
The pump runs on auto trans fluid (atf) as does the transfer box. The rest uses gearbox oil (that's where the 4.5l of shock proof goes)

I have spoke to someone about doing this and it is possible if I add a G-sensor but I may go with the ETS Pro as its already got its maps done and with the f88 Ecu I would need to spend a long time setting all that up and time is big money mapping as we all know lol

My one is controlled with ETS pro and is pretty much bang on 228psi.
I wonder if others have wired around the cut out switch to see such high pressures...it would seem they are not needed though.

Here is the schematic
The Nissan Schematic shows 228psi as max pressure though. ~(above) Have a look at "Hydraulic Control"

I'm Finding My Feet Here Now
I've chosen this as the number one car at Ford Fair - https://www.facebook.com/fiestaturbo
I'll have more photos on the actual site soon too.
