Been working away on the car when time allows so a wee update is needed.
The inlet manifold is now finished and I'm pretty happy with the outcome. @
focrs has done a great job on it even with some of my annoying design requirements.
After a paint with Holts version of D43 paint which is quite a bit darker than what's on the car. Looks good but not a good match at all.
Did the catch tank when I was at it
@
focrs also welded up all the boost pipes which just need a polish to finish them off. They all fit well after a test fit.
Also decided to not fit a set of AP CP5200's to the P1 and instead donate them to the Clio. Offered them up to the discs and if I use 300mm discs and 20mm spacers with custom brackets they should fit under 15's. The brackets are being made just now so will test fit over the weekend. Fingers crossed as they will be more than enough stopping power for the wee Clio.
Here's how the engine bay is looking without the boost pipes, fuel rail, hoses, etc. gives an idea but all just small things to do now.
New fuel setup too. Pretty much everything needed a new home from the old engine to now so a lot of expense buying new fitting, hoses and bits and pieces.
Been talking to Scoff at EFI Parts as well as I wanted to get some advice how best to run in the new engine without having to bring it all the way down to him without even turning it over only to find there is a leak here and there, lol! The map from the old engine is completely different to the new one so not really compatible. All I can say is he has been an absolute legend AGAIN and has helped out massively. Basically, he has sent me a base map of a similar spec car and told me how to make the necessary changes to the fueling and wiring of the DBW throttle. Big thanks to that man and not that he needs any more recommendations, here is another one for all your mapping needs!
Think I've went on long enough so.......
