Yeah I saw, have fun with that, I hated doing mine, I was cutting and shutting the standard engine loom and the interior loom. BALL ACHE!!!!

Custom 300mm trumpet are now on order

I meant to buy 2 resistors the other day but forgot! I'll have to finish the loom this week, fingers crossed it's spot on

My engine loom was done when i had the engine work sorted, it may need tweaking but i will wait, i am just going to slim down the interior loom to leave just what i need for the car to be legal so i can take it to TDF for the new int loom and Race Tech dash2.

Now that would look epic

Spent a little bit of time (all day ) on the car today.

My main aim for today was to fit the new air filter.

So first i had to remove the Throttle Bodies as i had to use them for my template. So after i had remove them i this is how they looked.

This is my backing plate that i got from Reverie, oooooo carbon firbre!!!

So i removed the trumpets first and placed the backing plate ontop with the trumpets to see if it fit.

The backing plate is literly 1/2 mm away from the fuel rail so that was a relife but a small part of the jenveys was catching it when opening the throttle so i had to bring out the angle grinder and quickly sort that out.

So i then fliped it all around and started to mark out what needed to be drilled.

All marked up

I used a small drill bit first incase so leave room to slightly enlarge the holes to get a perfect fit.

And then enlarged the holes to fit the bolts perfectly.

So after I had drilled the holes i then attached the trumpet so i could mark out what needed to be holesawed.

I decided that the best way to mark it out was to spray some spare silver paint down the trumpet and it would show me excactly what needed to be removed.

Here you can see the paint down the trumpets

Trumpets then removed

Then with the correct size hole saw i cut the hole and filed off the little bit of excess material.

Now obviously there was some paint inside the trumpet and i simply removed it with some metal polish. The trumped needed tidying up anyway

After that was all done i rebuilt the backing plate and trumpets

And then I attached the ITB's to the car for the LAST time i hope!!!!

I then poped the new filter on

I took some decent pics on the DSLR so will post better pics of the engine later (pics taken on I-phone)

99.9% finished my engine loom so will get that done tomorrow

 

[maynard]

Nice progress, can't be much more to do now?

 

[Sam@NP]

Epic, cant wait to see it on track. Be careful not to get it dirty

 

[Gray]

Looking smart Chris!

 

[chrispy.clio]

Nice progress, can't be much more to do now?

Things left to do:

Oils changed
Put earths on standard loom
Fit injector connectors to new engine loom
Fit battery and cut off switch

So yeah very nearly finished

Epic, cant wait to see it on track. Be careful not to get it dirty

Thanks

I have 8 trackday to fit in this year so its going to get as much use as poss. I only planned to tidy up the engine bay a little but its turned out quite nicely now.

Looking smart Chris!

Cheers

 

[Sam@NP]

How much does it weigh nowadays?

 

[chrispy.clio]

Well i'm not 100% sure anymore. But I think when i gut the doors and stick in my plastic windows it should be 800 kg

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Holy moly! I've got some work to get mine down to that!

One day....

 

[Fred@BTM]

yay! finally someone else who hides the servo pipe and throttle cable, a man of taste!

f**k off that stock fuel rail, it "pulls" too much on the stock fuel line

 

[Silent_Scone]

proper filter!

 

[Jonny1*2]

Such a neat clean engine bay :approve:

 

[chrispy.clio]

Yeah i never liked the servo pipe going round the back of the mani and the throttle cable was a bit gash the way it went + the fact i cut it too short when re-routing so had to buy a new one lol

I want to replace the stock fule rail but then i'd need to replace the fuel line and then dont you need a return line too and a regulator?

proper filter!

Yeah its HUGE, i had to cut quite a bit off the bonnet :S but its all neat which i'm pleased with and its still strong

 

[Christopher.]

looks awesome mate

 

[Quade]

Well i'm not 100% sure anymore. But I think when i gut the doors and stick in my plastic windows it should be 800 kg

800kg with a roll cage in it too! Id be happy if i could get mine down to 850kg without a roll cage!

 

[chrispy.clio]

Watch this space

 

[Dave.]

chris if you want it on a weigh bridge give me a shout

 

[Cro]

Nice work mate, any sh*t the pants moments when just about to cut the carbon, its gorgeous looking!! Super close now!

 

[Nafoff]

Awesome mate
No more to say

 

[Spark]

Got so much love for this car man. I'd love to do the exact same thing

 

[SharkyUK]

Awesome, mate - it's coming along an absolute treat! This makes me jealous...

Seeing as this project is almost at an end... what's next? LOL! Of course I jest...

 

[oliver.james]

Great stuff!

 

[chrispy.clio]

Another update.
Finished my new engine loom, every connector had been measured out perfectly so I have no excess loom to make the engine bay look messy!

Now it's all connected to the right sensors

Also finished off the heater matrix delete with a proper alloy pipe and hose clips

Also made up some brackets for the bumper so it doesn't fall down

 

[Gray]

Looking good Chris!

I hope it start after all this

 

[Nick172Cup]

That last pic looks tough and fook! How mine will look also once i've got at the bumper with the holesaw

 

[jenic]

Looking good!

Whens its getting started?

 

[Tony Hunter]

I wouldn't trust those hose clips as they are not very good,if you can change them for jubilee clips.

 

[chrispy.clio]

Hoping get it running (not necessary finished) in a few weeks. I am so busy during the week I am struggling to find time to get the last little bits done. But I finished rebuilding my dads car yesterday so at least I only have to get 1 car done now.

Tony what's wrong with the hose clips I have. They seem to have a tight grip about the hose but I have not filled the coolant up yet! Never even bled a rad before lol! Might need to do some searches.

 

[Gray]

Just remember to open the thermostat when you refill the coolant... Easy peasy

 

[Jonny1*2]

Nice as always mate. ECU inside? Are you running on omen alone now?

 

[Tony Hunter]

We had a couple of those and go tight then suddenly slip.There is a bleed screw on the t'stat housing(10or8mm bolt),you can see it just below the temp sensor switch in the picture,below coil pack.

 

[Gray]

What Tony said, they are cheapo hose clips, I've seen a few of them fail... perfectly tight, then dropping off!

Get some decent jubilee clips on there Chris

 

[Conlon]

where did you locate them bits from for the heater matrix delete, the 180 degrre pipe and the metal pipe?

 

[bomber]

I had those hose clips in mine for 3 days, they're gobshite and most failed. Will be worth piece of mind to change them

Rest looks minty mint

 

[Tony Hunter]

Told you so:approve:
