turbo Grant Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Cheers guys. Was working last nights again. Got the tank things brackets tacked on and the hoses cut to length. Just need to take it back off and finish it off. Will probably paint it black as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 that looks shit hot one thing i need todo is learn to weld lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Polish it leave it shiny will look mint in that bay dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Whats left then Grant to be able to fire her up? Or even MOT'able? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 I might leave it un painted and polish it up. See how it goes. All I've got to do is run the wire from the arming switch back to the ecu for launch and flat shit. Wrap the loom up inside the car. Put seats in. Test fuel system for leaks. Fit turbo when it's back from Owen developments. Weld the centre exhaust to down pipe. Put rear callipers back on. Give my wheels to my mate to get painted and tyres fitted. And then a bit of road mapping up to my work for the mot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 You could piss that in a weekend Good Man Grant... See you at Japfest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 not to much then haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yeah going to book a few days off once I get the turbo back. Get it all running ready for the mot. Takes ages doing little bits in the evenings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Was a tittle tricky. Done most of it just using the button on the touch. But the other night I decided to have a play with the foot pedal. Still havnt got the settings spot on but finding it alot nicer to weld with the pedal yeah i will get a foot pedal for mine eventually if i do some aluminium work. from what ive read its a good thing to have with the aluminium taking up so much of the heat. what rods are you using 5556? where do you get your bits of sheet and pipes from? The cars really coming on now! Edited March 22, 2013 by Bean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 You can feed the heat in alot nicer with a pedal. Definatly worth getting one. I'm using 4043 rods and my dad uses a company to make profiled guttering and dranage components for roofs. He spends 10k odd a month with then so the bits I get don't cost me nothing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Awesome work, that tank looks ace. Polish it up or have it powder coated the same colour as the cam cover imo. This is probably the best engine bay on the forum imo (no offence to all the other awesome looking bays)! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) no looked in here in a while, looks great mate! dyin to hear this beast fire up! Edited March 23, 2013 by PaulStarletSR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 i need to get my hands on some bits to practise on. its hard to get small pieces of metal to mess about with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lew91 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Been working away making this. Just got to finish off the engine breather side and make the mounting brackets. Then paint it black. For people who want to know its a rad overflow tank and engine breather collectorNooo don't spray it, polish it. It's what allys for, nice shiny bits that will never rust Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 still doing bits and bobs. im going to run the fuel in sequential mode now. this needs a cam sensor. so thought i might as well get it all up and running now. was just going to use batch fire to get me going first. should be big progress in the next few weeks mapping will start as soon as its running Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Right. New turbos paid for :s should get it back tomorrow Then if the other bits turn up before the weekend I should have it running next week. Got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday off next week. So lots of hours to spend getting the car ready to drive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
