RobSR Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 Back home ready for the full rebuild now all the fab work is done. Got the rad fill pot, boost control canister and all the bungs for EGT, EMAP, Lambda, Exhaust Back pressure etc in too. - finish shafts - build gearbox and fit Wavetrac - refresh engine - do the chain, pump, seals etc - build wiring loom - redo fuel system - start it up 🤣 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Claymore Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Looks like a pretty serious SKarlet build here! Is the boost control cannister for wastegate dome pressure? As a replacement for the CO2 bottles drag racers use? Also interested to see the results from the vertical flow intercooler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expand Essentially yes, you ‘fill and empty’ the pressure in the dome of the wastegate to maintain your calibrated target. The canister is there and is fed via a one-way valve so it stores positive pressure so it’s available when off throttle / when the turbo is choked (unlikely to happen in my setup with no restrictor etc) but the theory is similar to that of a Co2 setup, but I’m recycling boost pressure not using Co2 Further more, 95% of the ECUs on today’s market that use dome pressure control can only use that for the boost control strategy (Fueltech for example disable the MAP target part when using dome pressure control) whereas on mine I can have a dual MAP and Dome pressure control target so the boost control should be spot on. Yes will post IC efficiency results when it’s done as I have pre and post temp and pressure so can all be logged correctly - no ‘assumptions’ here! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Socks Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 This is lovely. What's even more impressive than the turbo and engine going in there will be your touches with technology. Look forward to seeing it setup and running Rob! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobSR Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Wiring loom planning ongoing! Will be mounting on bulkhead for engine loom connection Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 Had a free 15 mins last night so started on the first connector on the ECU loom. Lots more pins and connectors to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

snails ep91 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 wiring looks class mate. Whats the purpose of coiling it like that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are called 'service loops' and serve two purposes really: 1. Strain relief 2. More importantly, if a pin gets damaged etc and it needs to be re-pinned, you can uncoil the service loop and you have a spare bit of wire to carry out the repair. As it'll be a completely twisted loom, you cant tug an extra bit through, so there for future servicing if needed. (shouldnt need to be, its a just in case) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
