ProZac Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Squeezed in a couple more hours today. Got the oil injection valves plumbed, They've got check valves built into them (which I've just realised I've forgotten to check!), the plumbing on them is just for evaporation emission purposes I believe. Added in the line which goes to the fuel pressure reg control solenoid too, as I won't be able to get to it later. I got the injectors in place, the solenoid block mounted, and started plumbing that in. I'll have to un-bolt it to get the loom in place, but the lines have enough flex to let me leave it plumbed up. All the old vacuum lines. A few of them are cracked, all of them are super hard and brittle. Air box and turbo inlet plumbing back in. I made sure to remove the rags from the turbo inlets! I got a replacement secondary turbo inlet pipe locally, guy had the check valve for the pressure chamber too, score . It's *possible* I might be able to start it up again tomorrow. I need one new belt as I stuffed one getting it off, and one of the HT leads was in not too great shape, so I might try to track down another set of those. I don't think I'll re-wrap the loom quite yet, as I could yet still have issues. It's not a major to get it out again and wrap it anyways . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 i had no idea modern stock tangaz had so much crap attached to them. is it all smog gear or does any of it actually make it go faster? im assuming if you put a Link on it you could remove all that crap?

kyteler Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'm glad you got this instead of me, Zac. I would have been flummoxed for a millenia but all your bill paying skills are making this tedious crap look like a doddle. Good work. Would love to go for a hoon in it if I could at some stage once you've got it going and I'm next in the general area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Pretty insane amount of plumbing going on there. Most of my cars have one vacuum line, from the carb to the dizzy advance mechanism. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A link removes all the emissions crap. All that extra plumbing is there to run the sequential turbos? Mazda do like to make a simple motor complicated. And doing stuff to live up the the unreliable stereotype. However all those vacuum and extra plumbing things are there to remind us that j-ports and 51mmIDA's are they way of the future. Great job on the build thread! Following with interest and envy. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProZac Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 A link would certainly be a good option, and I considered it pretty hard, but they can't run the sequential turbo system out of the box, so a single turbo conversion comes along with that decision. I'm pretty sure I'd be able to get either a Link or a Megasquirt to run the sequential system, but I'd have to do a bit of datalogging to confirm when all the valves and what-not switch... And this required a running car . Most of the information on how to do it is in the USDM Series 6 FSM though. It's pretty tempting to give it a go at some stage, as I havent been able to find any info on people getting the sequentials going on a non-power-FC ECU... But it can;t be that hard, because the power FC can do it! I'm on the hunt for another series 7 loom, as I really really dont like how hard the factory one is to work with... Where they have branched and routed things seems to make no sense, except form a budget point of view. I'll try and collect all the plugs I need, see if I can source new pins and re-build one I think, with decent covering, keep it small and route it more logically. BUT, the loom that I have will get it running I hope. It's all in there and plugged in, just a bit more plumbing and finishing to do, then I can see if it goes. Fingers crossed? I've also just realised that I forgot to install the check valve in the secondary air system, so I have to remove that valve body and put that in, which requires moving a bunch of other stuff first, whoops! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Where did you get your vac / pressure tester from? I've borrowed it from Uni, will have to get it back to them next week. It's one of these though: http://mityvac.com/ Seems like a damn good unit, being able to do both pressure and vacuum is so damn handy!

WLDRX2 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 So can't wait for the "Fuck yeah. Skids on" update to this thread. Have been watching with interest and awe of your skills right from the start. Well , right from when I was pinning over a white fd for sale for fuck all, actually. So glad I didn't get all excited and buy it, would have thrown a right tanty over the complexity of it's many problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
