Thank you topher :cool:

I bought my mk4 back in 2009, Jazz blue 2000 Agu. Completely standard apart from it had been lowered on coilovers with 19" multi spokes and a forge 007p dumping to atmosphere!? Soon sorted that.
My plan was never to mod it as was happy with it as it was but soon got bored with the power and after joining the forums started planning what my next mods was going to be.
My first plan was to get a hybrid k03 and just stick with that but then thought im gonna do this once well allowed to do this once(missus) so I better properly, so started looking at big turbos.
I was a welder and fabricator working for my old man a few years back so I thought I could do most of the work myself and make exhaust manifold, downpipes and exhaust to save money. Never really done much engine wise but thought the best way to learn it to do it! and had this workshop at my disposal
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0066.jpg)
So I decided on using a TD05 16G because you can pick them up cheap they spool quicky, give good power and dont break easily. Read qiute a few things on Ihi's going bang and defo didnt want that!!
So I made a list of things I needed and started buying them. Took my car off the road and my parents kindly let me use their garage.
The spec what ive bought so far
TD05 16G with forge actuator
Twin scroll exhaust manifold
3" downpipe and full exhaust with sports cat
RC 500cc injectors
Custom 3" TIP
Silicone vac and coolant hoses
Intergrated Engineering Forged rods with Pec big end bearings
water/meth injection Aquamist
whiteline anti lift and rear eibach anti roll bar
Fmic
Brembo lcr front brake setup with fedro pads, braided hoses and Ate superblue
256mm rear brake setup
Walbro intank 255 fuel pump
Hks Evc 6 electronic boost controller
THS FR3 engine mounts
So I started stripping the exhaust, downpipe and K03 off and found myself a turbo.

Td05 next to the K03
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0045.jpg)
Got a new clutch and flywheel the VR6/G60 combo and fitted that. As well as silicone vac and coolant hoses.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0120.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0108.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/SAM_0397.jpg)
Then ordered flanges and SS bends and straights to make the manifold.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/SAM_0653.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0149.jpg)

(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0155.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0158.jpg)
This took a while to get right but finally did so I could top mount the turbo.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0169.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0170.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0173.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0184.jpg)
I then got a Forge actuator and made a mounting bracket and fitted that on the turbo so it would all fit in the bay.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0226.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0230.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0232.jpg)
My brakes and Ths engine mounts arrived and got fitted
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0212-3.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0225.jpg)
Aquamist 1s came and I fitted it in the bumper bar and will be using the washer bottle for now.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0206.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0205.jpg)
More bits and pieces arrived so I got a new oil pump, water pump, cam/aux belt kit, piston rings, Pec big end bearings, gaskets and plenty of lubes and oils.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0280.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0223.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0216-1.jpg)
Then I started taking the head off ready to put the rods in.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0233.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0238.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0239.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0240.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0241.jpg)
So I cleaned the gasket off and started cleaning the pistons and fitted the rods.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0242.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0244-1.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0276.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0277.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0278.jpg)
I kept the standard forged pistons so I just cleaned them and put them back in with new rings after honing the cylinder.
Put the head back on with new gasket, timing belt, water pump. Removed AC and put the smaller belt on. Thought id spay the rocket cover and polish up the inlet manifold.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0245-1.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0247-1.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0248.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0284.jpg)
Fitted new fuel pump and modifed swirl pot (thanks Jamie16v for your guide and help).
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0249.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0250.jpg)
Put the inlet manifold back on and trial fitted the catch can and started making up the TIP ready to weld the pipes on.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0289.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0290.jpg)
Thats as far as I have got so far hopefully this wkend I should finish making the TIP then ill start on the turbo downpipe.
Fingers crossed it will be ready for mapping in the new year.
-
I had a busy wkend. I first made up the intake out of 3" SS and welded on pipes for the valves and the maf sensor.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0291.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0294.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0295.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0296.jpg)
Then I tacked together the exhaust elbow but cant finish all the downpipe until I get some flanges and more pipe.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0297.jpg)
Then I made up a the charge pipe to fit up to the intercooler pipe work.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0298.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0300.jpg)
Trial fitted it to make sure it will fit.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0301.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0303.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0302.jpg)
Next wkend will be making a flange for the intercooler pipe to turbo and welding up the elbow and making up downpipe.
Still undecided on where to put the catch can to make it look neat might mount it at the front by the radiator.
-
I have nearly finished the charge pipe today have made a flange and welded it on to fit the turbo. Have sprayed it with galv spray will spray it the same as the rocker cover next time.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0307.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0309.jpg)
Trial fitted the dv and vac tubes
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0311.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0312.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0313-1.jpg)
Think I will like wolverine said not put the puck back on and vent the catch can to atmos. Will this cause any problems?
I had a old toyo sports induction kit so im going to eventually box off the cone filter to stop heat soak and use that old pipe to make a cold air feed from the bumper.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0314-1.jpg)
-
The flanges for the exhaust still havent arrived :angry: so still cant finish the downpipe and start on the exhaust. Fingers crossed they will come tomorrow.
Made up a bracket for the catch can and mounted it to the inlet. Got a filter to vent one side of the can to atmos.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0316.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0317.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0325.jpg)
Started fitting the electronic boost controller pulled the wires through to fit the head unit will mount it hear I think in the vent.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0331.jpg)
Had an idea to stop heat soak for the cone filter so I bought a aluminum champagne bucket and cut a hole it it to sheild the cone filter and set up the cold air feed to go right to it. Can insulate the bucket as well to make sure it stays cold.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0319.jpg)

A few updates.
Well I did nothing at all over christmas time apart from eat and drink to much! Now its all over its time to get back to work.
The flanges I ordered from ebay never arrived so I got my money back and order some more and they came today so started finishing the elbow and tacking together the downpipe. I also started cutting up and re-welding the 3" subaru exhaust so it will fit.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0339.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0111.jpg)
Will sort out the backbox and getting over the rear axle once ive finished the down pipe and got some spacers so I can get my wheels to fit over the brembos and finally drop the front end.
Tacked together the downpipe and checked to make sure it fits, its tight but should be ok if I heat wrap it.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0109.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0102.jpg)
From underneath
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0105.jpg)
Next will weld the flanges so I can join the downpipe to the flexi and rest of the exhaust.
I also fitted the HKS boost controller in the bay. Will cap off there the N75 was on the TIP as it will be all running through the HKS system. Should have really looked at it before as I didnt have to weld on pipes for the puck and now the N75, nevermind.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0332.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0338.jpg)
Then started on the wiring for the meth injection and the boost controller its ready to be soldered.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/IMAG0335.jpg)

Yay thats the boost controller all pumbed and wired in, so glad thats is sorted! :smiley:
Started making my exhaust today was hoping to finish it but it was just one of those days when everything seemed to go wrong but I still did some bits.

Welding up the downpipe and exhaust
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120114_155555.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120114_124624.jpg)
Had loads of trouble trying to get the downpipe to fit properly but finally managed it.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120114_164444.jpg)
So took it all out to weld it all up and I ran out of gas!! :angry:
This is what is going to look like.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120114_165350.jpg)
Downpipe

(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120114_165434.jpg)
Will get some more gas and finish welding it tomorrow. Will wait to do over the axle until ive droped the front end and will have more space under there. Ive still got to fit the RABR and 256mm brakes so will do it all at the same time.
Finished welding up the elbow and most of the rest of the exhaust. Need a bit of a clean up as it doesnt look to neat but its thick welds to make sure theres no cracking.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120119_125559.jpg)
Welded a bigger bit of pipe on to the 15mm outlet so it fits perfect for the 19mm hose.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120119_121330.jpg)

Started cleaning up the 256mm rears ready for painting

carriers sparyed with galv ready for painting
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120119_111745.jpg)
I bought a oval tailpipe as I cant hack having the massive subaru tailpipe. Will cut it off and weld the oval on once I start on the back box.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120119_125719.jpg)
Ordered 20mm spacers yesterday so that should be enough to get the wheels on over the brembos so hopefully after a year of being on axle stands this wkend it will be back on its wheels!!
Wheel spacers came today so can finally get the wheels on and see how the brakes will look under them.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120120_110428.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120120_110333.jpg)
With the spacers on they may stick out to far to get in under the arch wont know until I take it off the stands its close tho, I hope they do dont want to have to get new wheels!
Ordered some G12 and exhaust wrap today so will wrap the downpipe and charge pipe when it arrives. Going to get something to go around the turbo aswell to try and keep engine bay temps down. The turbo lines from Hel should be arriving either on fri or early next wk so now have oil and coolant ready to start it when they come.
Now everything is pretty much all wired and plumbed in so this will be my engine bay. It still needs a bit of a clean but will do that once I get it out of the garage as the whole car needs a clean!

(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120124_104153.jpg)
Next prob is the wheels sticking out past the arch heres a picture of them. Its still on stands so hopefully once its down it will pull them in a bit. Fingers crossed as I like the wheels.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120124_104222.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120124_114727.jpg)
Right ive been waiting for the last few wks for the turbo oil and coolant lines to turn up so ive just been busying myself spaying things making the bay look a bit better.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120206_184746.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120204_193702.jpg)
Sprayed the throttle body and a few other bits
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120209_182046.jpg)
Next I bought some refletive insulation sheet and got my missus to sow it to fit round the bucket.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120206_172255.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120206_183855.jpg)
I borrowed some insulation from work :wink: to stuff it with to add extra protection then put it in the bay to make sure it will all fit.

(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120209_192843.jpg)
Ordered some super high strength bolts and nord lock washers just to make sure the turbo doesnt go walkies.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120209_181905.jpg)

Should get the manifold back tonight so hopefully put it all back together tomorrow so in the mean time I got rid of the charcoal canister and wired in a resistor and hidden it, then feed a pipe for the gases to vent through the arch, will attach it to down near the front bumper. Also heat wrapped the downpipe.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120210_132502.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120210_133844.jpg)
Downpipe
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120210_125513.jpg)
Well finally after 3 wks a million excuses and 2 engineering companies I finally got my freshly skimmed manifold back today! What a mission!!
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120224_175729.jpg)
Didnt have time to fit it all today before the missus dragged me off but matched it all up with the turbo to make sure its all good.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120224_180649.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120224_180657.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120224_181322.jpg)
Gave it a quick fit in the bay all good it doesnt need a spacer thankfully! Will get it all fitted tomorrow and fingers crossed I can start her up! :smiley:
-
Right ive done some bits today and sorted all the problems I ran into last wkend. The turbo oil drain wasnt long enough so I cut the thread off the 45 degree fitting and welded a bit of pipe in the middle so it would reach the hose.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120302_173025.jpg)
Next I had to weld some spacers onto the turbo elbow so I could tighten up the bolts properly.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120302_173458.jpg)
Then I started fitting all the gaskets and tightening everything up ready for the big start up tomorrow.
Downpipe fitted, heatwrapped and tightened up.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120302_173122.jpg)
Fitting turbo with all gaskets and tightened up.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120302_180003.jpg)
Charge pipe, TIP, dump valve, cone filter and heat shield all fitted.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120302_182921.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120302_182913.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120302_182903.jpg)
So tomorrow all I need to do is fill it with oil and G12 and I cant start her up! Cant wait!! :smiley:
-
Another day another disappointment! :sad:
Tried to start it and nothing but alittle click from the started motor. So got a charger on the battery for a while.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120304_123358.jpg)
Still the same problem took the battery to get checked out and it still had no charge. So now the battery is on charge for the night. Back again tomorrow, lets hope that is the problem.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120304_143513.jpg)
:sad: :cry:
-
Right after pluging the battery back in I still had the same problem with it not turning over so I checked over all the earths and found the gearbox one wasnt on properly :embarassed:
After that it pretty much started first time this is the first start.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/th_20120305_185502.jpg) (http://s1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/?action=view¤t=20120305_185502.mp4)
So so happy it works now just need to jack up the back end and finish the exhaust sounds a bit like a truck at the mo! Bring on the wkend!
-
Had today off work today so I cracked on with the exhaust.
Backbox wedged up and massive subaru tailpipe cut of just to see how it would fit.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120307_114522.jpg)
Cut the supports off and tacked them on so they would fit the golf rubbers
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120308_121925.jpg)
Then cut it down and tacked the flange and fitted it on the rubbers.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120308_130450.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120308_151538.jpg)
Then cut some bends and tacked them together to join the mid section and the backbox
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120308_151513.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120308_160744.jpg)

Just need to weld on pipes for the 007 and the EBC which ill do on fri.
Now have 2.5" pipe work from turbo to throttle body. :smiley:
Bought T-bolt pipe clips that were to small tho so they have got to go back for bigger ones :embarassed:
-
I tried to fit wheel spacers to the rear and found that one side fit fine but the other wouldnt so had to get it on the lathe to take some of it out to get it over the extra bit on the hub. Worked a treat.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120527_131709.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120527_131720.jpg)
Welded the extra pipes on so I could fit the dump valve and EBC
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120527_131746.jpg)
Drilled and tapped the pipework to fit the nozzle for the WMI
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20120527_133129.jpg)
Made up a brace to help hold the turbo to the block for extra support just need to weld it up.

Well im sorry for the long absence people but I got to a stage where I truly hated this car and so so nearly split it up and sold it for parts! Have also been working loads starting a new business so just didnt have the time either.
But have started work on it again the last wk or so and am determined to finish her.
So a big day today after finishing the last few parts on the down pipe and exhaust off she went to the garage and passed the MOT. :smiley: She still made passing that difficult trust me!
There are still quite a few niggles to sort out before mapping but least I can drive it and break it in a bit while ill sort them out, at least it feels like I'm getting somewhere.
Am well pleased tho was f**king nice to drive her again after so long!! :smiley: :smiley:
Well now im able to drive her all the enthusiasm has returned and got a few more plans. :smiley:
So back in the work shop
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20121208_113135.jpg)
Im going to break her in a bit so wont be going to Rtech until the new year, will give me time to sort out the last few bugs.
Did a couple of bits today, one part is secret will show pictures once its finished but the other bit I made a heat shield to protect the water hoses.
Took out the TIP
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20121208_113154.jpg)
Got some stainless cut it and bent it round the exhaust manifold so it shields the gear linkages and coolant hoses.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20121208_115251.jpg)
Made some brackets and welded them on and have the finished shield
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20121208_123243.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20121208_123229.jpg)
Fitted in place
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20121208_141151.jpg)
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20121208_141200.jpg)
Will put some heat reflective material on the inside, hopefully it wont get to hot but will keep a eye on it and see how it holds up.
Engine still needs a clean from when the hose came off the oil cooler. It was spectacular but oil went everywhere and havent got round to cleaning her up again yet. :laugh:
-
We I can defo tell I'm back on this project good a proper as I now have a empty bank account! :evil: :smiley:
Done a few bits and pieces as well as fiddling around trying to eliminate the fault codes but am enjoying it again.

Cant help but think it needs a 4mo valance and twin pipes :smiley:
Like how your doing it proper!
Thanks :smiley:
Well I was going to keep this quiet until id fitted them but I'm worried I may not get on the Rtech rollers so not going to fit them until after it gets mapped so could be a while. :smiley:
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20121210_1833301_zps0febc78b.jpg)

Just a small update
Ive done about 60 miles since the new rods and rings so was time to drop the sump clean it out and change oil and filter.
Lucky I could get the car in the workshop with all this freezing weather!

(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20130112_1524121_zps98f8e7d6.jpg)
Fresh mineral break in oil and new filter good for the next 500 or so miles then will change it again

Well haven't done to much on this as been getting side tracked having to work on my work van which is still playing up :angry: Also been sorting bits for a future project. :evil:
Welded the boss in the downpipe for the afr
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20130203_1049391_zpsc8aac4af.jpg)
Fitted it back on the car and fitted a lambda sensor for the afr, pulled all the wires through just need to fit gauge in the car.
Pipe work all finished welded little bits of metal on the end of each pipe instead of beading to stop any popping off. Water tested as well to make sure there were no leaks.
On the car
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20130203_1155501_zps47e922a2.jpg)
Inlet mani all fitted with pipe now connected need to find somewhere to fit the catch can now as it came off the old inlet before. Also want to try and tidy up the vac hoses so orderd some more and will try and hide them a bit better

Did a few bits today, started on moving the battery to the boot and setting the terminals in the bay.
I got a battery power cable from a bmw and fed it through a grommet so it came out by the ecu so I can then feed it down with all the other cables to keep it hidden.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20130306_162019_zpse3017cb2.jpg)
Once the plastic casing goes back on it will be hidden
Used a couple of distribution boards for the terminals decided to keep the fuse box and screwed it all to the battery tray.

Earth terminal to the right, positive to the left, will make a cover to go over the lot.
Next hide the wire through the interior to the boot fit the battery and make a good earth. Shoulf free up some space in the bay. :smiley:
-
Cracked on with fitting the battery in the boot fixed in the tray.

Will tack this bolt onto the boot for a good earth, hopefully should be ok?
Big fuse to keep things safe just needs a clean
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20130307_142222_zpsb0f2a090.jpg)
Next started on fitting the gauge
Stripped it out which was a mission, not looking forward to putting it back together lol.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20130307_162253_zps5374446c.jpg)
Took out the cup holder and cut a bit of SS to size and plasma cut out the holes
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20130307_161530_zpsace7e2e9.jpg)
Welded on a couple of bits of metal on the back so could screw it in and its all good
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20130307_171326_zpsbef43d9a.jpg)
Will wrap it, have decided in what yet. Now just need to get and fit the oil pressure/temp gauge
-
This arrived, oil pressure and temp in one
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20130313_150226_zps72e12a63.jpg)
Should look good I reckon.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20130313_151607_zps8bc7241c.jpg)
Going to play around and get a good colour combo they come with different faces, ordered some vinyl wrap so hopefully can getting it looking good
Got this wkend free so will hopefully wire and plumb it all in and get it working.
I tided up the vac hoses a bit and now with the battery out of the way can fit the other filter.

(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20130313_162340_zps3df2ed71.jpg)
So plans for the wkend wire everything back in, battery, gauges, EBC etc and make a cover for the old battery tray and make sure it all works! :smiley:
-
Didnt do anywhere near as much as I wanted this wkend but did a couple of bits.
Needed to join the battery wires together running from the boot so made a joiner, will work just need to insulate it.
Drilled a couple of holes in a bit of tube and threaded them.
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20130317_123156_zps154f40a6.jpg)
wires in each side, screw them down and all good

Did a few bits today but have been waiting all wk for a innovate lead so I can connect the 2 gauges up. Then can log info from both gauges. It turned up and they sent the wrong f**king lead so the plan of having them all wired in and dash back in place this wkend has going out of the window! :angry:
So stripped out the rest of the seats and started putting in the leather seats
Seats everywhere

At least I've got the next project to keep me busy in the meantime :grin: Major part arrived today :lipsrsealed:
-
Well after yesterday failing with the oil pressure/temp sensors, tried again today had to take the front end off again
(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n521/jonrandom/20130414_094054_zpsb2f0cc88.jpg)

Cheers mate, me either! :smiley:
Havent done to much on it recently between work, sorting the mrs car then my work van needing more repairing I just havent had time. Have got new oil still to go in and have got the oil drain plug to fit the oil temp sensor in. Will sort it this wk.

Havent done a lot recently just trying to sort the car for mapping.
Have a few problems still to try and sort out but its hard to tell what is down to it not being mapped.
As it is, it wont run with the maf pluged in. If I unplug the battery it will work once with the maf pluged in the next time it wont start really at all. Unplug it then its all good.
Still had a bit of juddering before boost kicked in with the EBC so ran actuator pressure and it ran better but thank god I fitted the afr!
Took it to 4.5k and the reading was high 17's! Wont do that again or its game over, no boost until mapped.
Going to get a new maf sort out the fuel pumps and maybe fit the bigger injectors and see what readings I get and go from there.
