So the ol 1g is running! Still a few issues to sort out. Mainly the ignition timing apparently changing when I turn it off then try to start again... I can't understand how it could though. Freaks me out. Anyway, here's a quick vid, shes a quiet thing and that's with only a dump pipe

If I had a 4age id probably go bankrupt spending all my money here > http://www.mrpltd.co.nz/product/386/4age-20v-plenum.html

Yea man had another go tonight and ground the cas like you said. fits better. doesn't turn much, but i can set base timing with the link i think Just need to find another 1gge housing cheers

Had another look at running the 1ggze cas with 1gge water outlet after seeing d.p.n.s do it. And also because i got this thermostat housing. Credit to mjrstar But making it all fit is another story. For all the material i had to take off left a hole in the housing, and its still pretty tight So now im on the hunt for another 1gge thermostat housing. Because I want my engine bay looking like this: Maybe you fellas mentioned at the start of the post can enlighten me on the finer details to making this fit without making a hole In other news, made up some turbo water lines. I'll put a sleeve on the on the goes down in between the manifold. But this meant my turbo oil feed hard line no longer fitted.

Last bits of tube bending done on fuel system For the vent, I've run a nylon tube up the pillar across the top and back down the other side. Wasn't too sure on the industry best practice with fuel tank venting. This should be OK I hope Not too keen on the colour of these fittings, reckon they look out of place.. should of got black ones I suppose Cooling system is pretty much sorted. I've kept it really simple, no heater etc. Only one line returning from the back of the head. Have decided to ditch the idea of running factory oil cooler, so I plugged that hole in the block. This motor was already setup to run without it. Looks like a restriction anyway. Welder had a hard time with this. Quite shite material apparently. Couple pin hole leaks unfortunately, should be easy fix though And then theres this.. pretty tight fit. Won't come off now. I'll put this adapter in if it proves unreliable being so stretched like that. New page would be good

Maybe confirm that your gauge is telling the truth

Cheers man (and flyingbrick), Yea its a pain in the ass, i'll prob go to braided line next time around. The stainless tube is a lot cheaper although the swagelok fittings make up for that.

Its pretty important to swage it correctly. We find so much stuff on the plant where I work that has been done by lazy cunts or dudes who have no clue. I was working on some shit and a tube let go next to me because someone hadn't swaged it right. Next thing there's 100 bar of steam venting to atmosphere, I'm lucky I didnt get my face burnt off lol But yea its good stuff

yea man

Overdue update Fuel system mostly done, went a bit overboard here. 3/8'' stainless tube, made the surge tank out of a used cal gas cylinder from work, bosch 044 pump etc Drive shaft made. 900mm of tube Really needed a hoist to make a proper job of these lines. Had to slide out from under car to make every bend. Managed to do each line in one piece which i'm stoked with even though there a bit kooked. Going over the diff was most painful Need some flexible lines to go here to the fuel rail Gearbox cross member mk2 And I've been working on the intercooler and piping Wanting to mount these coils on the cam cover so i can run short leads. Made up a bracket out of 3mm flat bar, its a bit flimsy under the weight of these coils so might have to beef it up a bit

where do you get this cover, what motor does it suit?

I have one. But its too hard to make it fit i've found

Turbo manifold finished. Made a start on the exhaust. Got a blank plate made for the dizzy, came out quite nice in stainless. 1/4'' stainless tube for turbo oil feed with swagelok fittings. Took so long to get right I will probably have to run the waste gate outlet towards the front then down and back. Well that's the easiest option anyway Discussion: http://oldschool.co....uss-1ggte-ae85/

Anyone delt with these "Johnny Joints"? http://www.currieenterprises.com/cestore/johnnyjoints.aspx

I cant remember ever playing with a map sensor when changing motors etc. They have the AFM obviously on the intake. Maybe a map sensor for the factory pressure gauge?
