Rickstar Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Beautiful mate!!! some crazy stuff in there!! keep up the fab work bro!! i rate u! Quote
Jozinobi Posted November 8, 2008 Author Posted November 8, 2008 Cheers bro Welcome to the forum by the way.Anything I can help you with, let me know.Get those photos up someway or another Joz Quote
Jozinobi Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 Only a small update I popped down to the local steelworks and they have finished making the tapered 2" piping for the flange end of the hotshot manifold with enough pipe length to work with as I only need a certain length and adjustments will be made.The tapering has been very well done, the pipe itself is stainless steel, not cosmetically perfect but is fine as I will be wrapping that part up.Im just waiting on them to machine a steel gasket piece that the manifolld's connecting end needs to attach itself to the Fujitsubo.Should see this ready by wednesday/thursday then I can book the exhaust to get fitted next week all going well.Still no sign of the LSD but Im pretty sure it will get here soon.Joz Quote
SiCaln Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 terrific news man, so happy for you not bout the LSD tho Quote
Jozinobi Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 Things are still in the 'pipe'line (sorry couldn't resist ) bro through these winter months which is a good thing.Should have an update with pics of the manifold work on wed/thurs, from what I saw it looks like a weapon...Need some engine oil soon, am really not sure what to go for, running in wise... And yea the LSD best get here soon! Joz Quote
Jozinobi Posted November 13, 2008 Author Posted November 13, 2008 Project Red EP91 UpdateI collected the Hotshot mani yesterday with the tapered collector pipe welded on.For needed adjustability, the flange plate and metal gasket can be moved along the whole pipe so I can get it welded exactly where its needed and have the remaining pipe length removed.I also had the rusted blanking plate replaced with a screw in bung, the rest of the rust I will get removed before its installed.Here is the small part of the Fujitsubo thats meant to bolt to the standard mani which I didnt fancy hacking at.Here is what I wanted to get replicated, the small flange part which houses a metallic gasket piece.Im taking these to my bodyshop soon to make sure the parts fit together, ETA for the full test fitting of the system will be either tommorrow or sometime next week.Thanks for reading, sexy time continues.Joz(yes Phil they are going to Cyril's lol ) Quote

Guest Enzo Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Need some engine oil soon, am really not sure what to go for, running in wise... Jozsimple mineral oil will sufice bro 10w 40 and your laughing, nothing fancy, see if you can buy in bulk, its a shame your not over here as i have access to a big vat of the shit Quote
Jozinobi Posted November 13, 2008 Author Posted November 13, 2008 What if I used normal 10w 40w bro? Say Castrol or Millers.Joz Quote
Guest Enzo Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 yea that would be fine, id imagine your going to need about 16 litres for the running in process dude. Quote
Jozinobi Posted November 13, 2008 Author Posted November 13, 2008 I forgot to say semi synthetic too bro.I might go for the semi syn 10w 40w they sell at my local toyota, its about £14 odd for 5 litres.I wanted to ask because if I do go for something like Royal Purple I wouldnt want to use it from the start lol because its quite dear.What will you be using for the run in process Si?Joz Quote
