My yellow rs kangoo

[Mickb]

Yea

 

[Mickb]

Wasn't overly happy with 1st attempt needed tighter pie cuts. So cut more out and redesigned it. Much happier and ready to tack up this week while i wait for rest of my pipe work

 

[Mickb]

Got abit done to day, still to finish welding the exhaust, fit two bungs in it and make the trim plate.

Found making the manifold easier to weld than the two exit pipes. May make them again but for now they will do. Would like to have the all this made for me mind you. Costs would be high due to all the time

 

[Mickb]

Wiring harness started. Got to braid and fit connectors and then pin into the ecus

 

[Djw Dave]

Going to be all kinds of mad when it's done.

 

[Mickb]

Hopefully it works haha

 

[Simon998]

Mad as a box of frogs, love it

any updates

 

[Cookson]

Doesn't having the exhaust and screamer hanging out of the bonnet kinda defeat the sleeper mentality of this? Also, are you only using it in dry weather, or are you putting some sort of stack cover on it to stop rain water ingress?

 

[Mickb]

any updates

I've not done any more really. Needing to order connections, heat shrink, fuel lines. Still to finish welding the turbo exit pipe. Just been busy. But but i do have alot of nuke stuff I can start to mock up there positions. Again I'm probably best waiting till I have my fuel cell and cage.

As for worrying about the rain I have none for when in use. And plan to get some bungs to fit in when not in use/parked. Plan to have it in my garage anyways when it's not used

You building another garage like

wouldnt worry about water getting down when 1.6 bar is trying to get out!

Exactly. Pressure will keep it out

Nuke stuff is awesome just ££££££

Tell me about it. I bought load of stuff then few weeks later they bring out the bit that bolts into the fuel cell, was ragging

When it's running

 

[Martin_172]

When it's running

well its not going to have the bungs in when its running is it?

 

[Mickb]

When it's running

It'll be open. The rain will be pushed away by the exhaust gases, if any does will just get evaporated due to the heat

 

[Brigsy]

A bit of rain in that open pipe wont do much with egts around 800deg lol.

 

[Mickb]

Got my an6 and an8 teflon stainless steel braided pvc coated lines and some fittings, and the tooling to make the lines up. Had a go. Pvc coated lines are heavy duty b*****d to get an fittings on but they do go on. Be ideal under the van.
Hope to have them measured up this week so I need to decide where to mount my fuel pressure reg then can look at getting my fuel cell and injectors

 

[Chambers_RS]

I used that hose. Tough job.
I used the jaws that go in a vice and wd40 which helped loads

 

[Mickb]

Yeah I had them and the spray grease helped on the -8 but the -6 was a b*tch to get on

 

[Mickb]

Sized up the an6/8 hose ready to get cut and also where I'm mounting the fuel pressure regulator. Need to get the hose clamps for the underside and chassi leg.

Then make the rail to fpr hose and that will be that done till I get my fuel cell and sort out where I'm putting that and the swirl pot/pumps

 

[Djw Dave]

Couldn't you get the fuel hose in a matte black?

 

[Mickb]

Got the bay lines in. Just need to get the correct line clamps and get them all secure

 

[Mickb]

Got my pms breather plate on and made up the hose to the catch can. Hopefully if I manage to get gas on momday will.be trying to do the castor kit over the holiday period.

 

[Chambers_RS]

Interested to see the caster kit going on. I’ve got the kit but long way off even opening the packet

Haha, yeah. I've got the fear doing it, once cut I guess theres no going back.

 

[dann2707]

Cool thread, i've just made my own exhaust too (check the mr2 thread if you haven't already!) and I know your pain about it all haha

 

[dann2707]

Sorry just seen all your likes on my posts already!! hahaha woops

Yeah it was abit of a ball ache but got it on my 1st go so was happy with it considering I hadnt done it before. Probably end up making a full system as a back up instead of bonnet exit.

 

[Mickb]

Jumped in with two feet. Shitting it, but managed to get the castor kit fitted.

 

[Mickb]

Cleared out the van the bit today. My atl tank came. Just waiting on the container.

So got the swirl tank and pumps out and checked to see how I'm going to do it. Looks like im going to now run them inside down the o/s sill and have a cover over them

 

[Martin_172]

You are f**king mental.

Love it.

 

[Chambers_RS]

Mega fuel tank

 

[Djw Dave]

He’s the best kind of mental.

keep up the good progress

 

[Mickb]

Started making my intercooler and make room for it.also removed the engine to refresh it.

 

[Mickb]

Loads of room

 

[Martin_172]

why the small intercooler?
