5e colin Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 ben are you not going to run the valve in the brake vacuum pipe going to servo ???? Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 ben are you not going to run the valve in the brake vacuum pipe going to servo ????Have not got one to use so no lol plus glanza never had one so can't be needed that much can it? Quote
amatthews45 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Posted November 23, 2014 just had a thought since I decided to remove the carbon canister and it has a large breather. could I not attach that line to oil breather tank. the tank has two lines and filter on top. could use one line for rocker and one line for the fuel tank breather. could this be ok?

amatthews45 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Posted November 23, 2014 what is this sensor and do I need it? Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 what is this sensor and do I need it?Got rid of that Quote
amatthews45 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Posted November 23, 2014 what it is ben? removed all this today.cant figure how to get last bolt on the mani with turbo still in place. want to get it all off. inlet harder than I thought as well Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Not shore but it's not needed if it's the one I think it is then just loose it, and why are you taking inlet off with engine in take it out with engine then remove it Quote
amatthews45 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Posted November 23, 2014 was trying to get it off before my new engine gets here to paint it and get all the right blanks for holes. cars going mates unit once engine here. need to order all the gaskets and clutch as well. defo wrong time of year for this haha Quote
amatthews45 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Posted November 24, 2014 anyone know if I could hook up the petrol tank breather to the oil breather tank in the bay since I ditched the carbon canister Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 just ditch the canister and leave it open or get a little filter for the canister pipe Quote
daniel_g Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 anyone know if I could hook up the petrol tank breather to the oil breather tank in the bay since I ditched the carbon canisterHmmm i duno mate, the idea of the carbon canisters is to draw excess vapour and then it gets drawn into the inlet and reburnt, hooking it up to a catch can sounds like its gonna be under pressure, and you dont want oil finding its way into your fuel tank either or even oil vapour.Id just leave that tbh.

amatthews45 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Posted November 24, 2014 sound thats good enough for me. how many earth cables are there on the car. so far spotted the one for the boost sensor battery cable thats hooked to shell and gearbox. sure theres another near as well not 100% where they go. what ones am I missing? gonns get some better earth cables made up while I stripping stuff down Quote

These are bolted to the car with 10mm. Then you have your negative earth strap from the battery to the gearbox. And there is another on the OS engine mount.HKS do earthing kits, bolt to the negative terminal of the battery and then put the leads on various points in the bay. Can get em on ebay, well probably reps of HKS kits haha. Quote
amatthews45 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Posted November 24, 2014 yeah seen the hks earth kit dont like the look of them. gonna make up some new earths. every time I get connectors they either fall off or just simply rubbish haha Quote
amatthews45 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 There is a post about bypassing the water lines, its not in the wiki so should be somewhere in the tech section. Personally wouldnt bother tbh.dan you any idea where this thread is?gonna do it because its simple enough just dont wanna get them mixed up Quote
daniel_g Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 dan you any idea where this thread is?gonna do it because its simple enough just dont wanna get them mixed upIn here http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/80742-simple-coolant-line-bypass-step-by-step-guidedetailed/?hl=bypassThis is a pic from my old GT, i must have put in about 40 threads now of the way the vacuum & water lines go if you want to do it the normal way. Quote
amatthews45 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 nice one dude cheers. your pic works but one in the thread doesnt. from left to right I am gonna have a guess 1 is coolant (from block) 2 is vaccume (to inlet) 3 coolant (large broze) 4 vaccume Quote
daniel_g Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Think this is right but havent double checked on my car.Left to rightThermo housing to throttle body, coolantWaterpump pipe to throttle body, coolantThrottle body to throttle body (bronze), vacuumSteering rack to throttle body, vacuumSteering rack to vacuum rail under inlet, vacuum Quote
amatthews45 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 so the two on the right I need to join and blank off the ports on throttle body. sweet!! Quote
amatthews45 Posted November 28, 2014 Author Posted November 28, 2014 lots of progess today really happy I managed to get turbo off. but my shopping list keeps getting bigger and bigger! need turbo oil/ water linesdecatgasketsmanifold to turbo studs and nuts.also all new intercooler silicone joiners plus propper clamps.oh boy!!
