Ok everything on the tank is finished
Level sensor fitted this will switch on a small red light on the dash once the level is below halfway Tank holds 3.5ltrs :) Here are the photos http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...542C1B891D.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...542560934F.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...5432F13C8D.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...544050F853.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...5438E77E00.jpg |
Thats a mighty fine system you got there:)
|
Why thank you kind sir :) MWI systems you know
|
For your 6mm nylon tubing here is a trick to make it more PRO (lol)
Put a piece of electrical wire up it (to stop tube from collapsing) and heat it up gently with a heat gun and BEND it to suit your application :) it then stays in position perfectly and looks sick as fuck :) I have mine routed in all kinds of places, and in hot environments I sleeve it as well. Little tricks you learn over 20 years ;) |
Would that trick still work for 8mm hose?
|
I will try it out tomorrow Peter and report back thanks for that :)

It took me a few try's as I kept getting the cable stuck in the tube, but then I found if I lubed the wire and moved it while heating I could bend away |
Ps I just opened a new forum/blog on my site check it out guys

Little update
Have put my order in for a nice large intercooler but she is going to take around 30-40 days :( after that the car should be done Tonight I got to work making up a shot blasting cabinet Then I stuck the red upper and lower cosmo manifolds in there http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...psabfc9797.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...psfccb2f4d.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...psd328b528.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps4375b66c.jpg Then a quick clean up of the logo :) http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps25c3749b.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...psb15fbe81.jpg This has to be the best tool I've made/bought no more sending stuff out to be cleaned. I'm going to keep the manifold this way now as it matches my turbo |
Looks good :icon_tup:
You might want to clear coat the manifolds, as they can oxidize over time. |
Few more shots of a quick mock up of the intake system, I will be removing this lot again to apply the heat treatment sheets to the lim and under the upper

I love the amount of detail you've put into this project. I would never have the patience to finish a project the right way like this lol. Fantastic work!
|
Car looks jizzfactor3000 good!
Is that an oil restrictor on the turbo inlet or is it just an adapter to the oil line off the turbo? Want some sound vids of it boosting up! :driving: |
Hi Pete
The feed is just a normal -4 an fitting Videos will be coming very soon :) Ps do you rate where I have my nozzle will be ok I've set the water to come in at 12psi to stop water collecting on the walls of the intake tube Regards Craig |
|
And this is the reason why the bumper is back off
This time I wanted to make a real duct for the v mount rad and cooler Here are a few progress photos from tonight http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps479758c1.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...psbae4679c.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...psbb3f446e.jpg |
Ok just pulled the duct out
http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps19a0ccf3.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...psce038161.jpg It's very light and I will still have to trim and cut the holes for the rad and cooler,I'm happy with the way it's turned out |
Honestly mate, hurry up and move to Australia!
You will make a killing here with your skills you are showing, and there is lots of drug proceeds that are laundered here so money is no object for lots of customers. UK and US are broke ass motherfuckers compared to us, you need to move and move now! :) |
Sounds like a job offer :)
My plan is to be there middle of 2015 , my misses has been there now for 6 months working and she brings in more than I do lol..... Your right the uk is fucked most customers want everything for nothing more so now than ever.....And the goverment don't help When I do get to your home land I need to find a shop that works well and isn't full of retards untill then i couldnt even think about starting again on my own |
Well here is another little update
I've trimmed and cut the holes for the rad and cooler http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps8885bfc4.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps6e79e218.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps3fd62f82.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...psd953858c.jpg |
Maybe give some pointers to people who want to undertake some fiber glass work?
that duct looks excellent btw. |
Ok lower duct is finished I stone chipped the duct to match my chassis legs which I did last year then a coat of Matt black
Once everything is in you can't really see the duct at all lol But I do have plans for an upper duct I just need the balls to cut my bonnet or I need to find a plain OEM style glass fibre bonnet or a cheap as chips carbon one Anyway onto the ram air ducting ;) Pic with the cooler out gives you a better idea I also sealed the rad and later the cooler to the ducting with foam 7mm weather stripping to unsure air tight seal http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps56dc59ca.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps4623e843.jpg Water on tap ;) MWI Systems http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...psf0a509cc.jpg Cold air intake pipe and filter sitting nice at the front of the ducting http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...psf45bb19d.jpg |
Tiny update
Got most of my work out the way ready for tomorrow so this afternoon I started making a trans brace based on the "dragon design" but with more beef :) 11mm big daddy style http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps6777f293.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps439b8dfa.jpg Quick coat of primer http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps0ac019c3.jpg Then the magic colour Black :) http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps93d8e1c3.jpg Then she finds her way back onto my car http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps093b0156.jpg |
Ok guys not much doing my end
But I am planning ahead and making more room for my upper intercooler ducting So out with the old slam panel and in with a new TGS one ;) http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps0a687be3.jpg I can now see 98% of the core :) win http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps5d53fc09.jpg From the photo above you can see my Plates that I'm using to tie in the bonnet catch and more of them below with sexy welds http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...psa1e0361d.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps5b103f00.jpg Not really a good photo I will get more tomorrow when I get some time to finish it I may even tie into the lower front intercooler mount for added strength... But even now it feels stronger than what I had left there after cutting to get the cooler in place http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps5469ec46.jpg Ps this photo I've just found on the pod website from last years rotorstock :) http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...psd17253dd.jpg More to follow |
