Looks tidy man.

That was a fair panel repair on the quarter! Looks good though. Look forward to seeing more on this.

Was I speaking with you at glamis last year? I had the white corrado.

Nice vr, welcome.

Welcome

Shiny!!

Done away with mine.

So basically this is the stage I'm at.

I'm still running standard injector's, standard fuel pump, standard clutch and I have no charge cooling. These are all thing's that I will obviously be upgrading, but for now i will try and map the car with what I have. My targets for the new year (after Christmas presents have been bought) are to firstly buy a set of injectors, as these will have an impact on the tune of the car, everything else will probably be installed when i have the fund's. Obviously I'll need some sort of charge cooling system before the boost can be increased, but as i do that I'll run out of fuel so I'll need an uprated fuel pump and then the clutch will start slipping and so on! Ha. Part of the fun I guess.

Stole the wife's sieve!

Made up some boost pipes to get me up the road.

Car running on new management.

Went through a few water and air temp sensor's, testing them for resistance and to see if they were the right thing for my ecu's configuration. In the end i got one's that were close enough. Thank's to Chaffe for letting me into his drawer's. 😉

Machined an adaptor to fit my coolant temp sensor for the M-tech v4 ecu in place of the second stage rad fan sensor in the water housing.

Next thing to tackle was the engine management wiring. Done a bit of homework and had some advise from a couple mate's on the subject, so got to work.

Pulled out the soldering iron, multimeter and ****top. There was a big use of spade terminal's till I knew it was right begore permanently soldering anything in. 😁

Whipped off my inlet manifold to drill and tap then fit the barb's I machined. Boost gauge, ecu map sensor, fuel pressure regulator, brake servo vac line, manifold air temp and the idle control valve.

Heat wrap the oil feed line..better still, try making it out of solid copper pipe or metal. When pushing a turboed 16v mill the turbo sometimes glows red hot and the heat rises.. When i do turbos i run the feed along the bulk head just to avoid this.

If you can't or don't want to redo it, at least wrap the oil line with reflective heat tape.

And while your at it, pop over here to Rome and redo my 3" exhaust..awsome welding done there.

Def. look into fitting a restrictor if it's a BB catridge'd turbo and a big oil cooler, Lancia delta integrale ones are great or any other make, seeing as the turbo's only oil cooled.

Yeah I will be putting some sort of heat protection onto the oil feed as it travels across the exhaust manifold. Plus I'm going to try and retro fit the standard heat shield back over the manifold. I hear what your saying about using hard line but I don't really understand how running it along the bulkhead would work so well considering the engine moves? Thanks.

Next on the list was to make an adapter bracket to hold the ford coil pack that im going to use. Unfortunately the pitch between hole center's are not the same.

very enjoyable read this thread mate, top skills :)

 

This is by no means a criticism more an honest question: the oil feed you have, will it not over supply the turbo? Only reason I ask is that I have a 1mm restrictor on mine to avoid over facing the turbo/ seals.

 

Looking forward to more progress info :D

No no not at all, ill take anything onboard, ha. Don't know if you have noticed the brass turbo feed to turbo adapter that i have machined? That is my oil flow restrictor. Sorry I haven't mentioned it in the build.

Was going to buy a trigger wheel but decided I would use what i have.

So i removed my crankshaft pulley and through her into the manual mill and made my own 36-1 trigger wheel.

Got on with Mounting my VR sensor while I was down there.

This picture doesn't actually show the end product ☺ had to do a little fabrication to get the sensor to sit at the right position (tooth) at TDC.

Ground out the cracks with the angle grinder and welded them up.

I'll get them refurbed soon or wait till the warmer weather and paint them myself. In the meantime, ive got a shot of one of my mates wheels.

Decided to take my wheels off, get the tyre's removed and give them a bit of a bull**** up.

There pretty ****ty when you see them!

There's a few bad crack's on the rim's where someone's smashed a kerb or two!

I have a bend coming out the sump joining the silicone hose.

Also fitted my wideband sensor.

Welded on a support mount.

Also fitted my wideband sensor.

Thought I would take some photo's of the oil return that i made.
