After a little trip to drop
@Adey engine crane back this morning I managed to get a few hours on the car.
Started off fitting this lot. A dipstick, swapped thermostat housing so I can run without air separator tank, gasket for oil return plus two dust covers. One for side of gearbox and one on top of gearbox/engine. Will need to purchase a black rattle can to tidy them up tomorrow.
Then set about mounting the 2 x MAC valves I’ll be using for boost control. I bought a couple of 3D printed brackets which seem to fit. Looks neat and easy to plumb from this position.
Next up I started messing about with the fuel system. I managed to get the 2200s mounted in the secondary rail but In order to fit the 2 x central injectors I need injector extenders which are now on order. These injectors aren’t actually used and are just there as a dummy to prevent a massive leak.
The primaries are nice and simple - sticking with 1650s.
I think I have enough injector but if I ever needed two more at least I’m future proofed.
I started thinking about mounting the CDI coil packs. I planned ahead and bought a bracket from a company in Aus. Looks like I can mount neatly here on chassis leg, i just need to drill a hole to mount the second fixing point. Should work well with a set of custom leads.
Finally I realised that I no longer need the pillar boost and AFR gauge as the dash will provide that data. I set about removing them, the wiring under the dash is a mess, it’s had all sorts wired in it’s time, will get this tidied up when the chap does the loom.
I’ve already sold these along with my spare secondary fuel rail. At least I can recoup some money back, it’ll just get ploughed back in as I still need more KA sensors which aren’t cheap.
Sad thing is my A pillar has a big hole in it where someone has fitted the dual pod and gauges, need to source a new one.

Not sure if I mentioned that I’m going to be using Matt from Level Motorsport Wiring for my loom, his work looks amazing.
So a big list of jobs to do but getting stuck in now. Two more weeks for Thermomet bits at which point car will be 90% done.
