so I thought I may aswell put a project thread up . I swapped the car for my ae85 that i had it was stock as a rock on steelies









then i was like oh ill go get some 17s because big wheels are cool ( i know better now )





then the modifying bug came back along as i started getting back into motorsport again and its grown from there







did a few events with it pretty much stock







then i started fiddling with suspension by chucking a set of trd coilovers in the back with some 4kg springs





then i started getting a bit more serious and got some track tyres for the front and started going back to 14s



then i got really sick of having a 1 wheeler peeler and single spinning everywhere so in went the ae101 lsd box and driveshafts





then i put a custom 185mm pulley to wont the boost up to just over 1 bar on a good day

then i added a fuel controller (similar to a apexi safc)





wiring was a bit of a mess behind the dash



raised the gear shift up with just some threaded rod



did some more events









got some front coilovers in



and i pretty much stick with 14s these days i have some volk/rays superfine 15s that are 3 peice that i ill one day re furbish i also did some gravel in it before i upped the boost and put a lsd in it and managed to equal my mates time in his old rally car we used to race

ive now removed all the sound deadening in the car also and fixed some rust in it here and there it pretty much has no interior bar seats part of the center console and the dash and door cards

plans for it are to cage it and race it (then again i have been planning to put a cage in it for ages ) and maybe one day turbo it ive done alot more to it than whats here i just cant remember it all or have photos for it all i also have like 6 sets of wheels for it and alot of spares

havent really done anything to it lately intsalled some toms harness pads and a windscreen banner



oh and its moved into a new workshop with UJ maybe ill get round to doing those jobs ive been putting off due to not having a welder ect

well i finally got onto doing some work i forgot to say a month ago i setup a new intake from the inner guard but may change this again soon to air from the scoop if i change my inter warmer setup

today i finally changed the dirty old cast exhaust manifold to a blacktop 20v extractors a rather easy upgrade really i linned up my new 16v gasket and re drilled the end 2 holes

as it turns out the 20v 2 into 1 fits into the ae92 so i didnt have to cut and weld anything there

when it came time to fit the primarys i ran into a snag i had to cut part of the manifold and heat shield tabs that wasn't needed now as it was hitting the CAS ended up looking like this



also exhaust bolts are a cunt to remove after never being undone there was lots of skin removed from my hands tonight

i also discovered that the ae92 and ae111 oxy sensors have a different bolt spacing so i had to slot the holes


ended up with a snug fit that looks like this





as you can see its a rather snug fit with the CAS

just ordering some goodies a water injection kit , civic half size radiator and looking at a better intercooler setup to gain some moar power

[jakesae101]

Well i have been recently procuring go fast bits of here and on trademe KPR was nice enough to sell me his direct port water injection setup with lots of added goodies

unfortunately today i realised i don't have the room to fit it as i had originally intended

i had originally intended to have 5 x injectors 1 in each port and keeping the superchargers rotors cool

the way i have currently set it up for is 2x small injectors are injecting just before the throttle body into the supercharger and 2x small injectors are set up just before the inlet manifold just after the intercooler

bit of faffing about to get the pipe that has the cold start injector on it that sits on top of the inlet manifold off i had to undo the 4 bolts that attach the super charger to the inlet manifold and there is 20 million things in the way/ no room to work

this is the 2 setup just before the inlet manifold post intercooler



and these are the 2 setup on the inlet to the supercharger just before the throttle body



i also mounted up the line pressure switch (if this stays on after the pump turns off i have a blocked jet) and the solenoid



also mounted the tank and pump in the boot



all i have left to do is setup the motor controller unit and wire the pump to that , install the pressure switch to start the whole thing and get some more nylon pipe to run between the engine bay and the pump

oh and i brought a civic alloy radiator but i need to get the bottom outlet modified to clear the engine mount

[jakesae101]

right since i know how you all love pictureless updates

went and got the last bit of pipe i needed between the pump and solenoid and the plumbing shop game me some free pushlock fittings BONUS

so i p clip and screwed that and ran my trigger and solenoid lines and power for the motor and controller

wired it all up realised how much of a retard i was and discovered i had wired 2 pins of my relay round the wrong way i dont have a hobbs switch yet to activate the system so i just rigged up a push button to test it all

took it for a wee road test new exhaust has opened up the top end alot more and the water injection seems to be keeping things cooler will have to get it on the dyno and adjust the fuel for the water injection some time

i forgot how rapid this thing is on 15psi

also purchased a toyota aristo factory intercooler for a dollar that ill be installing after i get the outlet of my rad moved over

[jakesae101]

right so after a while searching i found out a cressida front lip would fit nicely on my car . after a bit of searching a fellow os member os-triumph had one and sold it to me for a good price . it came with all the clips which was a bonus

so after a wee bit of drilling and cutting (have to take out about 30-40mm) i ended up with this
