nikhilkamdar12 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 So, been a long time since I last updated this. I have decided to go for a modern standalone ECU so have decided to get the Haltech Platinum Sport 1000 I am currently getting a crank pulley with trigger wheel and bracket made up so the ECU knows exactly where the pistons are and know when to fire. I have stripped out all the old wiring such as fueling, ignition, air con wiring the lot and the new loom and fuse box will all be supplied by Haltech. Currently waiting for the Haltech to be delivered and in the meantime I am preparing the ignition system... K20 coils... Got some aluminium hex spacers to make the bracket... Initial line up with the spacers, but needed some trimming and some machine work to fit 100% as they were sitting way to high!... Went to the machine shop and he made it completely flat for me and I also grinded down the spacers, and you can also see it's sitting a lot lower now as it's meant to... All sitting flush now and all spacers grinded to the same height I found the center of each spacer and used a punch for a guide for alignment. so when it comes to welding, it all gets welded in the right place.

nikhilkamdar12 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Engine management came today...PS1000 Comes with the fuse box and loom for all sensors and extras that you could possibly think off, plus can also do custom sensor calibration for any sensors being used. Started to take out some wires such as idle stepper motor control and o2 sensor ect that won't be needed for my use Maybe in the next couple months may get the RacePak digital dash to finish this all off to make the install clean and get rid off all the gauges More to come on this soon Edited June 18, 2015 by nikhilkamdar12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faiyaz.123 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Very nice bit of management. May I ask how much did it all cost you and where did you purchase from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nikhilkamdar12 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Today came in the post a Zisco inlet... Got the old one removed and new one in... The fitment issues everyone has is true and I will need a new throttle cable as its way to short, needed to bend the dip stick and will need to modify boost pipes :/ But on the other hand it looks sweet as Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie28 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Nearly there bro! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faiyaz.123 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Had the same problem even though mines was custom intake where it was actually facing on top. And boost pipes were made according to that and still not a perfect fit. Some alterations will have to be made. Good luck coming up good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nikhilkamdar12 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Nearly there bro! Cheers mate, almost done! Wire the engine up and a few other electrical things. Get the exhaust welded up on it, throw a base map on it and done Had the same problem even though mines was custom intake where it was actually facing on top. And boost pipes were made according to that and still not a perfect fit. Some alterations will have to be made. Good luck coming up good Yeah mate, it's just long lol. I knew when I bought it that it needed all this stuff. Slowly and surely i'll get done and cheers mate glad that its almost done and ready to start after almost a year and a half! Got my rocker cover back from Garage D in Watford who hooked me up nice. Apparently the spacers that I got and grinded down wasn't aluminium? Although when I bought them they stated it was and also felt like aluminium too. Anyway they machined new ones for me from proper aluminium and welded them down for me. Got all the Haltech wires through that need to go the engine that over the next week will be wiring in... A lot of spare wire for loads of other features, inputs and outputs. I will be using quite a few of the inputs and outputs so there will only be a handful of unused wires that can be removed from the loom... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nikhilkamdar12 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Long time haven't updated this so though i'd do an update. Been busy with my job so haven't had the time I would like to work on the car. Can assure is almost done! Got a few nice parts stacked up As I have gone down the Haltech management route, decided to stick with it for my entire engine management solution including wideband and dash... Gone for the Haltech RacePak digital dash: Dash can do some crazy things so looking to implement as many features as I can. It can display up to 28 variables from the engine on the screen across 4 pages Also got the Haltech Wideband Kit... ECU and wideband combo... More updates on this coming soon!

jimmymac101 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Ohh interesting update good work you wanna chat with socks about the dash, him and race-tec have just fitted one in his glanza ;) James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nikhilkamdar12 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Ohh interesting update good work you wanna chat with socks about the dash, him and race-tec have just fitted one in his glanza ;) JamesCheers buddy. I think this setup is slightly simpler to implement than his as mine is designed to work with my ECU and plugs straight into it where I think he has to do some playing around to get his working. Will be awesome once done though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faiyaz.123 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Awesome update can't wait to see the dash connected Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Westley Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 So many beautiful parts and that front end will look menacing once it's all painted up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_man_sam Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I have a rain cover for my cruise bonnet (not sure if its the same as yours) but how do you stop it from falling off all the time? Even when mines stationary the cover will fall off and living in Wales it's needed most of the time :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nikhilkamdar12 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Awesome update can't wait to see the dash connected Cheers mate same here, can't wait to get it all connected and running! So many beautiful parts and that front end will look menacing once it's all painted up Cheers buddy. Tried to get the best part for this so far Hopefully its all worth it once its done! I know haha still so much to do I have a rain cover for my cruise bonnet (not sure if its the same as yours) but how do you stop it from falling off all the time? Even when mines stationary the cover will fall off and living in Wales it's needed most of the time :/ I have the rain cover but I haven't connected it up yet. The way i'm thinking of doing it is that as my bonnet is original cruise it has some metal bits poking out the fibreglass, i'm somehow going to make a bracket out of it and use some more fibreglass maybe and connect it up that way. I'll take pics of when I do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_man_sam Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Okay cheers man, I've thought about just buying a standard bonnet for daily use then putting the cruise one on for shows but if you find a nice neat way of doing it then that would be helpful Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nikhilkamdar12 Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Time for an update as it's been such a long time. Bought a forged engine off 'russ78' on here. Looks like a good solid motor and only has around 2000 miles on it. Engine specs are: Scat 4EFTE Forged Conrod KitARP Rod Bolts & ACL main, big end, thrust bearingsTMD Cam Belt KitWossner 74.5mm Low Compression Piston Kit with Rings and PinsAthena 1.2mm Uprated Metal HeadgasketOEM Headbolt Kit inc New Washersfull Toyota gasket setfully reworked head with new valve stem sealschemically cleaned honed and crosshatched block rebored to 74.5 Block was a bit dirty so gave it a full de-grease and fitted up my trigger wheel and sensor... Mounted up the inlet as well... Now I have everything I need to run this car, it's a matter of swapping everything over and finish up the wiring on it, base map and start it up I am looking to hopefully run around 350hp on this motor with my turbo kit. More updates to come... Edited December 20, 2015 by nikhilkamdar12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nikhilkamdar12 Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 Got myself a WEPR rear entry intercooler so this should help reduce lag as its not the smallest turbo in the world Engine is almost done just ordered some AN fittings and braided line for my turbo. More coming soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
