you can have a go whenever you want when its done mate thats what its there for!

 

mega, ill bring burns

 

great day today got everything working together the dash etc did as much progrmming as pos widebands all done and working with the ecu basically ready to start now! magic words ecu connected!



onto the fuel pump set up, using a self contined unit from a new blade which should be good for the power and has a swirl pot and level sensor built in so it makes life much easier. had my mate knock up an alley ring to mount it in and will simply weld it into the bottom of the fuel tank job done!







once the sump and fuel tanks welded up hopefully wednesday wel be ready for a start up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yet another great update, you have some lovely parts fitted to this car now

I've just bought myself a Flatshifter Expert but without the Max add on kit, so it's safe to say I'm intrigued to see what you think of the Flatshifter! Hurry up and drive it

 

thanks alot mate and i know 2 other people running the flatshifter experts and theyre both over the moon with them!

ok well had the tank welded up and fitted up the fuel lines filled it up with fluids and have it a crank! after a little bit of messing it runs! very rich mite i add but running all the same. very happy chappy and a milestone has been reached again! few more bits and bobs to do then some mapping to get it running peachy!

for ease i just used push fit connectors with a servicable fuel filter ran these on my other cars and had no leaking issues or failures so all good and nice and light!



quick video of it running

 

ok few bits done tonight, new valve cover gasket and while the cover was off ive drilled it out ready to accept the cam cover breather, re made a housing for oil pressure and temp sensors and started to think about mounting this airbox :-/

after speaking to a few bike tuners ive decided to scrap the adjustable hight stacks as the amount of work involved makeing them fit under the bonnet massivly outweighed the gains id see anyway so simply chopped them off leaving the lower trumpets





does anyone know what the ideal gap should be between the top of the trumpets and the plenum??

 

after many e mails to denso and yamaha uk etc etc i stil had no luck with any info on the injectors at all!!! so took them to a place down the road to get them tested on the asnu machine came out at 320cc/min @ 3bar which on the emerald software says they are good for 256bhp so all good! time to have a play over christmas now i know the injector scalings right

 

great british precision engineering!

mark you clearly are an automotive engineering genius.

 

thank you ben!!

 

right not much been happening really! sumps been fitted with a -8 for the breather return and one of the reed valve covers fitted with a -10.



also its overheating due to not circulating whipped the rear water pipe off and the bloody water pump impellors free wheeling but cant come off so to save removing the engine again and stripping it down ive got an inline davies craig pump and controller, tho il actually be using the ecu to switch it on and off which will enable it to get up to temp alot quicker

 

They're good little pumps those Davies Craig pumps, i've got one in my car and it's done exactly what i've asked of it so far

 

perfect for the job arnt they!!

 

I can only assume there has been little progress with your car because you have been too busy working on the wiring loom for my Ford Capri 3.0S? In which case I am perfectly happy with that.

 

Cool toy this.

 

haha just seen this! yeah looms nearly done mate just waiting for heatshrink for my labeler! hope your well!

 

ok finally managed to get some time on it after months off! ordered some of these



7x13 front and 8.5x13 rear all et 20 measured these 10 times so definately correct!

had a nightmare with fuel leaks so rather than the plastic sealed cap i made for the top i got a proper nut ring of a mate, welded it up and re sealed the fuel pump with normfest plastomar which ive been guaranteed is fuel resistant! wel see! so far so good anyway!





roll on friday when mr p is hopefully comeing to do a little mapping

 

coming on nicely

 

cheers dude! well will came down for 3 hours tonight, aim was to get it idleing nicely and do a bit of mapping and he did exactly that. great guy and superb work idles great at 1300 rpm and made it perfectly safe for me to have a drive in to make sure everythings ok before a full mapping session. managed to load it up a little using the rear brakes in short bursts to about 40% throttle. first time ive been able to try the electronic gearchange system and seems to work great! and after a few attempts even found neutral a few times!! anyway thanks will! cant wait for the wheels to arrive now! little vid

 

I told you Will would have no problem with it!

 

i know haha tis perfect just fired it up from cold and was perfect, didnt even need any throttle!

 

super cool

 

I'm just playing with my map to get it to fire up on the key only. Got it to do it but only crudely at the moment (it's idle valve settings that I need to play with).

 

about time it got some wheels on it and was riping again! some new pics needed down the lake mark?

 

Thats looking awesome Mark.. cant wait for you to take me out in it mate

 

cheers chaps

 

ok after a mental month with this and that actually managed to have a day on the car got the airbox finished this is the only way i could think of doing it without makeing a fresh one!

basically chopped up the original and with a bit of fibregass and filler later came up with this and some itg filters covering the trumpet internally, again couldnt really fit a filter anywhere else keeps it neat anyways











also got the breather sorted bought a cheap breather pot welded a -8 and 2x -10 fittings and used aeroquip push fit hose nicer than braided imo and lighter!!! just got to have the tank powdercoated and make a mounting bracket and all done




thats it for now! wheels will be here on friday mot and tax then down to emerald on the 27th for mapping! canny wait now!

 

you bin to busy sorting the push bike? where is the build thread on that lol, its got more technolagy in it than some peoples cars lol
when its mapped u ow me a shot gun haha

 

How did those festo fittings hold up with the fuel?

 

absolutely fine used them loads with diesel and petrol with no issues only opted for them with this for ease as il be swapping between race fuel and pump fuel

 

want to have a spin in this when its done stevo

 

I like them wheels.Are they on the car yet.

 

not a problem dude! and yeah thayre on the car arches and breather on tomo then mot!

 

Loving that looks fantastic

 

keep going!

 

all hail the king! the obp machine looks sharp as a knife and is a technological masterclass. you've put your enviable skills to spectacular use with this one mark, can't wait to see it in the metal and hear it in the street!

 

Looks amazing now mark, love the new wheels, you coming down this month when your taking it for mapping? Cant wait for a drive must remember some glasses this time though, couldn't see properly for about an hour after last time!!!

 

if theyll upload!

 

feels amazing real torquey so much different to the last spec just struggling getting past neutral so a few tweeks needed









all was going well until this happened paddles started working intermitantly but then worked when i wiggled the wiring so took it apart and found a broken wire, broke one of the microswitches in the processs tho so having to send them back to flatshifter :-( doubt theyll be back in time for maping so just going to wire 2 temporary buttons up instead



and a few more car porn pics! a 12 witht he front end off ready for the engine going back in and a challenge car just fitted gpe datalogger gear in and a load of other bits

 

grat weekend and great results feels amazing and very very quick!






been driving it around this morning no problems went to take it off the trailer when i got home and the wheel fell to one side :-/



couldnt believe it looking at the breat its been gone for a LONG time and has just let go bouncing around on the trailer! unbelievably lucky! would of ripped the wheel and arms off if it had of happened on a roundabout going mach1!!!

 

brilliant videos, car looks and sounds terrifying! ahh, the old alley...wish I was there, actually, we could do a drag race down it, really impress the neighbours! see that broken rod end there, that's why I leave the technical stuff to the experts like you, that would have killed me.
