bit of an update

while i was stuffing rags to stop things going into the block i heard a snap. it was a injector difuser. £26+VAT each. so exspensive mistake but i will know for next time.



new ones



new inlet manifold gasket




primary 550 injectors


front bumper with silly lights










AND GUESS WHAT! TURBO KIT HAS ARIVED TODAY WOOOHOOOOO

 

That fuel tank is cleeeeeean. Who did you use for the ceramic coating? looks great.

 

yeah it seems clean compaired to the rest of the car (rusty)

when i bought the turbokit from america the builder got the parts coated for me so im not sure of the name.

ill get some pictures tonight as its been delivered.

need to find a boost controler. anyone have one?

 

Hey you know you may want to re-consider using the injector diffusors. There have been more than a few members on here that have had them fail and sucked into the motor. They have the potential to ruin your motor. Newer style injectors have much finer spray patterns and the diffusors are really useless. Might as well toss them in the trash and prevent a possible major fail point!

Nice build btw!! I too have the vertex front bumper! i love it!

 

ahh cool. i didnt actualy know that. i was going to use my 850 secondaries in the primary rail what is the spray patern foor them or should i get better injectors?
i was looking at the bosch 1680cc injectors for my secondaies. any help is appreciated as every day is a learnign day for me with these cars. thanks for the comment.

 

WELL GUYS AND GIRLS ITS HERE. MY SINGLE TURBO KIT.

looks pretty. wasnt so pretty trying to get the bastard to fit! eventualy it went in.
currently welding another boss onto my downpipe for the AEM wideband and need to sort some other bits and bobs out but apart from that its all good. made up a drawing of re-wiring my fuel pump which i will run with 2x 30A relays as i will be using the standard pump as a lift bump then a bosch 044 inline pump to boost the pressure. obviously ill need new fpr, injectors and fuel rails. ill be going for the 850cc from my secondarys into my primarys and then using bosch 1680cc injectors for my secondaries. once its running i will be using the base map on my power fc to get it through an mot. then spray job then mapping. as im in shetland it will be a 600 mile+ drive to a rotary tunner owell. ANYWAY GUYS HERE IS SOME PICTURES















its my bazzzooookaa

 

now this is a cheap dumpvalve. i will be going for a nice tial one when i can afford it







fitted








ill be going out tonight to finnish some bits and bobs off. shouldnt be long untill its on the road
thanks for any comments p.s the rear lights are coming off and i have origonal ones in the post.
cheers

 

if you can swing it go with newer I.d. Injectors. I'm using the ID 850's primary and 2000cc secondaries. The injectors you have will work though. Just ditch the Diffusors =-)

 

i see,

so these id injectors are what to go for? are they hi impedance? i think 2000cc will be too much for my setup. 850's in the primaries will be fine though#

 

You won't need resisters for the injectors. The 2000's are very tuneable.. You don't have to run 90% injector duty.. they'll be just fine for your application.

 

ahh ok . ill look into them. what sort of fuel rail will i need for them? and where could i get the shims?

 

so its been a while and lots have been done:

single turbo complete
its motd
taxed
insured
tail 50mm bov
blitz boost controler
ordered rota grid drifts et30 front et20 rear 9.5 18"
aem wideband
power fc
datalogit
bc racing coilovers
blitz nurspec exhaust
twin resanator mid pipe
screamer pipe from wastegate
its now painted with rattle cans primer grey
bocsh 044 inline pump
swirl pot
sard fpr
dm-motorsport fuel rail
2200cc bosch high impedance injectors
and lots more. ill get pics up when i can.

thanks guys

 

Awesome build!! Glad you came around with the front lights! The rest seems well done. Cant believe it sat in a field for 5 years :/ Good luck!

 

thanks mate.

well well.

im well overdue an update,
been for an operation so i had som time off work to play with the car. so much has been done recently. its all taxed mot'd and insured. completley road legal. so i think i can say ive saved this fd3.
had some major issues with the car not starting (kept flooding) it was down to bad injectors and dodgey stock fpr. seems to be good for now. and its quick! very quick. ive never driven or even been in an rotary car so the first drive was new to me.

here is some pics. all comments welcome good or bad

project looks awesome, who makes that front bumper? fitment looks off
