Well I'm waiting on parts so thought I'd do a recky on the other stuff that needs doing.
Rear wheel lower arches were holed. So I removed the rear bumper....wish I hadn't haha.
Luckily borrowing my mates welder Thursday evening. so plan to take some metal work Friday in the day.

Re: JDM Import Rev 2 Turbo - Megasquirt install. Anti lag. 2 step.
Ordered my sheet steel. Need to make some cardboard templates then transfer it to metal.
In the mean time my silicone hoses came today. As well as my 3 fuel injector rail standoff washers.
Tomorrows drop fuel tank day I hope.

Got the tank dropped today
This bu88er wouldn't undo so I ended up undoing the bottom of the fuel filter and a few bolts along the hard lines
Got the old pump out
New pump made and installed
Inside of the tank looks fine. And that crap wiped off the old pump. Going to drain/swill the tank with fresh fuel.
What an awful job just to change a pump. Worst bit is, I've no clue if it works lol.
Also. Snapped about 3 quarters of the undertray bolts. So going to have to drill them out and re thread them all.
Also used this opportunity to remove the air con hard lines down the whole length of the car.

Well. In the drizzle I got my fuel tank back In. It wasn't a nice job by my self. Getting the wiring through the center tunnel. Jesus Christ. I just kept swearing and got it done.
I then got my new alloy radiator and shroud fitted. Electrical connectors need work. But that shouldn't be a problem.
Just waiting on a few parts to get my engine back in.
Feels great to start putting parts back on

Well Ive started putting the fuel rail/vac lines/loom/water hoses back on.
Oh how i have forgotten where everything plugs in
Wish I'd painted the intake manifold and throttle body now... Oh well it's all coming out again once my other blocks been built up.

Whilst I'm waiting on parts in the mail I started work on the future welding. Created some CAD templates:
Hoping to borrow my friends mig this week and get those rear arches sorted.

Well my mate popped over and helped me get the gearbox on. Managed to do a bodge to get the flywheel done up. Oh and got the downpipe/turbo back on. Just got to re route the loom and reconnect the water/oil lines.
Just to confirm. The water feed and drain is the same pipe at the bottom of the turbo?
Cheers

Well she's ready to go back in.
A friend was supposed to be dropping in to help me get it back in the car. Sadly hes gone off radar so engines stuck in my garden
Some of the pipework needs a tidy up /clean but I'll save that for next time when the forge build goes in.
I've got builders starting some work on my house early July. So I'm now on a tighter time frame than I'd anticipated.
Here's hoping I can get the engine back in early this week.

Looking very good, did you replace the âsugar cube' on the gear box?

quick google suggests i can just remove it and turn it 90 degrees. so may try that. failing that looks like its doable back in the bay.
Re: JDM Import Rev 2 Turbo - Megasquirt install. Anti lag. 2 step.
My gearbox sugarcube looked relatively new so I've left it alone.
Engines back in though
Just re plumbing everything now. And my god the bottom of the fuse box did not want to clip back together.
Hopefully hear first start in a few days. very excited

Re: JDM Import Rev 2 Turbo - Megasquirt install. Anti lag. 2 step.
well i attempted to get it all back together and during so wanted to change out my clutch line for the slave cylinder.
So....attempted to undo the nut that connects the flexi line from the slave cylinder to the cars body and the nuts welded in place with corrosion.
So engine start is on hold
planning to identify the nut size/thread pitch and re-make a new hard line from front to back. Then once the slave cylinders on, ive just got to fit my new ht leads and king lead. oh and a new injector plug. then i should be good to go.
