Project Freeze My Ass Off (rear Poly Bush's Astra G)

evocarlos

and breath !!!!11!!111!!

the old stainless bush's from the front wishbone came in handy for spacers there about 25mm
bolts were made from m8 all thread with nuts welded on the end

thats pretty close to lol

had a bout of rain so had to stop for awhile will get the pipes for the duel pass done then fit the alternator

Matt

There isn't much room between the inlet and the aircon pipe!!!

i had to remove one of the fan supports to clear the pipe so theres no squeaking when its running, its all firm engine side so should be good 🙂

you sure did 🙂
whats the trick with the dip stick just make a plate to fix it solid ? pics ?

pottsey

my dipstick isn't fixed to anything at the mo ,but I do have a small bracket to fix it to the inlet manifold

Dipstick-Setup on mine isn't very good. Check out this picture (not my car) where it is positioned above the alternator:

In front of the charger there is very little room to pull the stick out of the tube properly.

duel pass mod was real tight i bought a right angle fitting but it was huge even with cutting it down so got a straight connector and cut it right back the pipe sits flat ish on the oil filter housing

dipstick and all the mechanical parts fitted just electrics now

oh well there is the extra pulley lol need to do something with it

evocarlos

ecu is on its way back 🙂

evocarlos

just took the charger apart one more time but this time i wedged some feeler gages between the rotors then refitted one of the gears i removed
the rotors are not catching any more and it spins up fine only issue i could see were the main seal are passing oil maybe the cause for the bearings being shagged

evocarlos

just working out the battery and ecu location i've not been able to do any wiring today as the weather has been cack

Not long now mate (y)
when you back at work and do you need it for then or are you nicking your mums vec lol

well the ecu will be back before the weekend so once i get the air filter and a belt i can run it
im back at work next monday
if the time runs over i will use the vec 🙂
my problem is i can't decide on the ecu location lol
need to buy a new 60ah battery going to jump on the bay now and get some parts for the weekend 🙂

You could mount the ecu to the side of the relay box?

thats one of the locations i was thinking or bolted to the side of the engine where the egr would be there is a few more bolts in that location to make a support to
the relay box only has one bolt

That's quite a hot place isnt't it? Don't know if it will affect the ecu.

evocarlos

not sure it will make a difference what with the ecu normally living on the inlet next to the rad 🙂

True...

evocarlos

im going to put it at the side of the battery tray like the z20let
ordered the extra bits for the build from cs
2bar map sensor
idler pulley
trying to source the belt locally one shop has a 1540 going to wait for it to cool down outside then go finish up the wiring

z22se-fan

Almost there... 1540 might be ok, 1546 for sure is too long and makes it scream like a pig 🙂
