[Dave Gilbert]

Yeh I think im gonna cut the plug off, extend the wires and add the injector plug. Cheers guys, I will keep everyone updated.

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Got the rad piped up
rocker cover on
coils in and connected up.

coil control here and braket painted

few other bits n bobs.

gota order a injector plug next

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Injector plug ordered.

Gonna start on the back end n turbo tomorrow.

 

[Dave Gilbert]

AAAAAAAHHHHHH. its finally happened, I knew it was going to well.

Problem 1: so the studs on the exhaust manifold are £5odd each and the nuts are £1.50 each. So gonna find a way to get the nuts off the studs.

Problem 2: thermostat housing gets in the way of the cat so that needs further modification.

Problem 3: the gear linkages are touching said cat but may be a different case once the cat is fitted better, but they will still be close so I may need to make a heat shield for them.


Not sure if you can see but the turbo should be about 20mm further down on the pic to mount up

I guess there's always going to be one or two teething problems, as long as you don't panic and rush, but work methodically you'll be fine.

Well done though Dave ! - keep going

 

[evocarlos]

sorry to say but thats great news looks like mine will be done before you lol

j/k we have already spoken about the thermostat
the cat could be moved to an inline one lower down ?
cables would need covering they do a velcro heat wrap kind of thing that would be good

 

[vocky]

this is what we use on vx220 gear cables - needs to be 25mm to clear the ends

[Dave Gilbert]

I think I will look for the velcro stuff for the gear cables.

n just trying to get evocarlos to give me his a20nft thermostat housing.

 

[Dave Gilbert]

So havnt come up with a 100% fix as of yet, I think evocarlos is avoiding me so he can get a day ahead of me haha.

so I have a few options. Cut the pipe down n put a 90 degree silicone hose in and go over the top

or get a A20NFT thermostat housing and go over the top. Both is gonna take atleast a few days. So its a slow down for a few days(weathers bad anyway so not to worry)

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Got turbo and cat in position without thermostat housing in position)

fits nice Ish



cats touching my gear selectors(not sure what to do about that as of yet)



put the fitting in THE hole thanks evocarlos where ever you are.

and found that my 45degree fitting is no use as its 2 steap an angle so gotta get a straight connector.



and by the looks of it the a20nft thermostat housing will be perfect for the job. Just need to find carl.

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Not touched the car for a few days

waiting on parts to continue.

only thing I can do Is the wiring for the trigger wheel but dont know which wire goes where?

jon baggerly(probably spelt it wrong sorry) has helped alittle in facebook.

i know which is positive on the sensor but not sure on the loom.

I have brown n brown with black stripe. Any Ideas

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Got my new thermostat housing today

thanks alot evocarlos thanks for the gasket but I bought a new 1 of those with the manifold gaskets.

just need to figger out what size this hole is.

the pitch is 1.5 and it measures 12.5.

m12 is way to small and I cant find a m13(dont think they do a m13) so I think its a m14?



the difference between the 3 housings lol

 

[HarleyPete]

Think your right mate according to this it's an M14.

 

[Dave Gilbert]

I will have a look at that, on the laptop, I cant see it on my phone

cheers HarleyPete

Dave Gilbert According to TIS the brown wire is the Crankshaft Sensor Low Reference and the brown/black wire is the Crankshaft Sensor Signal.

Hope this may help.
