I had to take of the intake manifold to get to the injectors which had to go because they are low impendance ones. But to take of the manifold you have to take of the timing belt! I wanted to wait with this untill I take the engine out for the final welding of the brackets on the subframe but I'll replace the timing belt, seals and idler pulleys now. One intake bolt was stuck and I coudn't get to it with heat so it snapped: IMG_20170321_200559206 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr I had to drill it out but it is a 10.9 one so the drill woudn't center really good. No I just put a treaded sleeve in there. IMG_20170325_113900332 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr Another job I did was making a bracket for the Patrol Y60 steering fluid resevoir. It only needs a lick of paint, the hose from the resevoir to the pump and the steering is done!

I needed really short ones, the 1.8T ones that most use are to tall but I took the coils out of my daily Bora 1.6 16v to see if they would fit and they did. Even the cover don't hit them: IMG_20170325_134106240 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20170325_134115209 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr

Looks great. Real nice work. Are you replacing the rocker cover as well? Or just gonna keep the engine nicely bathed in oil to prevent rust.

Last week I fitted the C31 sending unit to the C32 tank. I used a S13 craddle but coudn't use the S13 sending unit so I went with the oe C31 sending unit and placed it next to the fuel pump craddle. I simply made a 50mm hole, put in 4 blind rivet nuts and use a gasket to prevent leaks. IMG_20170331_160129653_HDR by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr Next job was to fit the tank. One side bolted up but the the other side didn't, so I made an adapter. I also fitted the braided fuel hoses. IMG_20170331_163840260 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20170331_144017000 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20170331_163850672 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr I also played with the radiator hoses. The top one fits but there is quite some tension on it so I will have the alu tube extended. Otherwise the hose will fail at some point. IMG_20170327_193533109 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20170327_193541587 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr The fuel injectors are a strange setup and are to small for future upgrades. IMG_20170329_195803979 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr I bought Bosch EV1 440cc injectors which have the same outer dimensions as the stock ones so they will fit. I tested if the fit by using an old Bosch/Denso injector IMG_20170329_195747138 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr The new injectors will be machined so that they can take a hose on the top and I will be using the top fuel rail only. There is no room for an universal fuel rail.

i've been using riv-nuts quite a bit recently. i do like them but the way it makes the item "stand-off" the panel annoys me a bit. do you know what i mean ? it puts all the leverage/weight of mounting flanges on the edge of the riv-nut itself, rather than larger area which used to contact the cross member/panel/outrigger whatever it is.

I got the fuel rail fitted with braided hoses and stainless hose clamps. Works perfect this way. IMG_20170514_114038075 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr IMG_20170514_114056993 by Jelmer Eppinga, on Flickr Than I finaly could install the lower manifold again and start working on the Microsquirt install. A big mess with all the new connectors, wires, solder gun, paper work, cutters, crimp pliers and heatshrink!

Love the valve, would you like your blow off to be soft or hard.
