Might be popping a few questions your way when im setting mine up on megasquirt... coil on plug sounds a good idea

Ye the most expensive part of my build but it was the only way to retain the standard diesel front bumpers and that was my whole plan from the start so hopefully it will be worth it....

[dangerousdave]

lol, no problem i may not map mine myself but ill tweek someone elses! lol and make the looms up

[jonyb4]

that engine bay is looking sweet mate nice and sutble

i thought mine was subtle but that takes it futher, i love the sutble 'TURBO' on the plenum too

[Ruishy1]

car is starting to take shape mate, nice

[dangerousdave]

cheers lads! once i know it works ill be getting bits polished or powder coated but hopefully nice tidy bay will be there that aint cluttered!

[black2]

Looking good Dave.

Dont suppose you have any pics of your bottom hose to you? Im struggling with mine due to running the T2. Might be forced into buying that roose one.

Gareth.

[dangerousdave]

i used a mk4 escort hose with 2 bodges on one to the header tank and one to attach a mondeo water pump bit on lol only pic on my photo bucket account is

can try and get a few more tomorrow or wednesday if you want?

[black2]

Yeah thats as i feared really.

See its perfect for your appliacation ie running a T3, but im stuffed with the T2.

Looks like roose im afraid.

Cheers,

Gareth.

[jonyb4]

[dangerousdave]

[dangerousdave]

[richie baby]

is this done yet,
or is my quantum going to be on the road first ,

[dangerousdave]

mate, ur quantum aint seeing the road first cuz you will be waiting 5 years for steve to pull his finger out and paint it

but no, no updates i still aint had it welded might take it to cowboys down colwick monday morning

[jonyb4]

lol you know you've hit rock bottom when you gotta take it to the cowboys

[dangerousdave]

yeah, its the first bit of the engine build i cant do myself and prob the last too lol bloody ali welding..........

[dangerousdave]

well why couldnt i find this guy before? look what i got done today............







well off to get some satin black................maybe more pics later.............??

[Ruishy1]

welding looks good mate, welding old aluminium, even after extensive cleaning you always seem to end up chasing dirt
coming along nicely, wont be too long before that first start up

[dangerousdave]

yeah not bad for £10 lol cant wait to get it all on, think ill paint it up tonight or in the morning and fit it before work and make fuel lines up too

cant wait to hear it idle , ..... better not be the same as before lol

[Ratspeed]

Ready for FITP then

[jonyb4]

now thats a deadline!


awsome work mate
although id say it look good in silver with black details, so in reverese really

[dangerousdave]

lol running maybe posible but with only an mot on it and being skint i doubt it will be insured and taxed lol besides wanna put my v6 brakes on it before it goes anywhere lol and needs the turbo bearimngs changing too lol but shgould start and drive this week once i sort out fuel lines

jony........ no! lol i aint hand painting detail on it i cant be arsed lol its getting sprayed and 1000 gritted off mabe laqured if itlucy lol

[knuckles]

nice work

[dangerousdave]

cheers dude

well not much room for my intercooler pipe between the TB and brake reservour so having one cut and welded and while i was at the welders workshop kinda ordered a fuel cell and payed a deposit! ....cheers for the contact rich!

internal swirlpot, sumped, mostly foam filled execpt where the modded xr2i float goes an-6 return and breather and an-10 feed on 5"feet... maybe more but i forgot! lol

so in 2 weeks time ill have it i hope

[jonyb4]

oh nice mate, bit much for a rade car imo but good stuff lol

wheres it gonna go, in boot or is it one that can fit like OEM?

its starting to get expensive mate but you know it will be worth it

[dangerousdave]

may not be just a road car yet? its going in the boot mate, well i took the tank off last week as i know i need a new pump and i couldnt get the clip off the old tank so cut it off so thought i may as well do it properly! braided hoses throughout!

then in future (neer) all i need for big power is management! pistons/rods and big turbo!

[jonyb4]

f**k yes!

and my favorite... STRONG con rob bolts! dont want no rods flung out of the block do we...

[dangerousdave]

goes without saying mate

dont want another engine like my cvh!!!! ill def build my own from now on! lol

[black2]

All sounds good Dave - now get it running

You may ahve heard about my "budget zt" That went funlumps up so im afraid ft has one less zt now

Make sure you finish yours though lol.

Gareth.

[dangerousdave]

yeah i heard mate, you let me down! should of stuck a t3 on it lol, im just kidding, you use yours daily tho dont you so aint got the time to piss about like me get a mk3 shell there cheap now

[black2]

Yup the shed is back on the road now, just going to use it as it is now, if i can one maybe 2 more mot's out of the car i will be happy then it will be stripped and scrapped. My next project after this, will hopefully be a mk3 escort when the mk2 fez is on its last legs i will start seriously looking for a decent escort.

Gareth.

[dangerousdave]

dont scrap it, sell it or cut it up and put a sierra floorpan in rwd mk2

[richie baby]

not a budget now.
get the sand paper out and filler lol

[dangerousdave]

lol, i know pal, its ur fault i got the cell you helping me take door off tomorrow dude? need to put my new one on and cut old one up to patch car up
