Finished wiring in the FJO Peak and Hold Injector controller and cleaned up the engine harness while i was at it. I had some major routing issues with lines and wires, so while I was finishing wiring up the injector controller plugs and wires, I did rerouting of a coolant line and some vac lines. I'm so looking forward to get my single and getting rid of these control valves and lines.

The only thing I really don't like about this whole setup is the fuel lines to the FPR, I need to looks deeper into my options as far as fittings go...maybe AN fitting bangos, if there's such a thing.

 

Figured out the routing of the fuel lines to the FPR, had to think more 3D. Engine harness in, now need to finish main harness in the engine bay and most of my wiring except for lights should be done. Finally

 

Progress

 

Fuel system done

 

Exhaust mostly in, need to mod the mid cat pipe to fit new Greddy Evo2 catback, weld in the wideband bung and weld in a check valve for the air pump tube. A while back I had Pineapple make some custom ultra high temp exhaust gaskets. In the past I keeped blowing through the originally supplied units. As a test I modified one of the their header gaskets. No blow-by and it reduced dBs under the cabin as a side effect. Good stuff.

Also finished wiring in the battery, starter, alternater cables. And the body-engine harness.

 

Adam- Keep up with the hard work. Cant wait to see what a brand new FD looks like.

 

FPR mount done, and close to being done with the mid cat. Finalize boost controller mounting and the remaining accessory wiring needs to be completed. Possibly may be able to start the motor this weekend.

 

Mid cat pipe done, just barely had enough leftover tubing after cutting to re-weld. My big cluster F of a relay box, fan controller, Boost solenoid and fan relay is next on the list.

 

As I feared the Secondary BOV interfers with the ABS unit, so I need to rotate that tubing assembly. Heat sink for the WB in, needed two crush washers to get the orientation. Mostly finished with engine bay wiring except for the headlights and EDFC(routing). Started install of EDFC stepper motors, thank god for work instructions. And I found out the FC dip stick is a nice upgrade to the short FD dip stick unit, gets to the finger ring should be a lot easier now.

Will be doing an electrical check tomorrow and possibly crank the motor over.

 

Few set backs Sunday, one of them was going to the Woodburn drag's to watch mid six second 200+mph Harleys , but anyways, since I needed to modify the secondary turbo tubing I went ahead and put in one of my synapse BOVs. Also finished the engine bay wiring, utilized the AC firewall plug. Next will be finishing the Secondary intake tube recirc tubing, air pump air line routing, welding in water temp and water level bungs into the Rad, welding in the second BOV after the IC (for better throttle response when motor is under vacuum) and all the wiring to the dash. Yeah

 

Had a little unpleasant surprise the other day; the primary turbo accessory fitting came loose. So I made a plug for it since I will be tapping into the tubing at the juncture where I will get a more accurate pressure differentiation between the primary and secondary turbo transition. The secondary BOV and tubing is in, man talk about a tight fit. I almost needed five year old hands just to tighten the small set screws for the Synapse BOV.

 

Water temp and level sensors are on the Rad now and I need to decide where I will locate the primary BOV and special air filter for it. Where ever it is placed I need to tap into the air filter for the air pump. Minimizing tubing length may be the determining factor.

 

Looks great, are you adding ducting to your V-mount to keep the air from going around the rad, and i/c?

 

wow very nice job your doing there you have a **** load of hours into this one..

 

When is your car going to be road worthy, are you planning on any upcoming events?

 

Yep, ducting is the plan, aluminum at first until I get a good ratio of air to the I/C, Rad and air box, then it will be made out of CF. Same with the oil coolers.

Thanks for the props guys. Road worthy?? Hopefully in the next couple of weeks. I would like to go to Sevenstock, but finances will be a little short for that. Have to wait and see.

 

Holy sharp edges batman, nearly slit my wrists getting the fuel tank surge tank cover in place. Nice piece, hyperion did a awsome job designing and making these things.

Primary BOV is in, decided to have seperate air filters for the air pump and BOV. More maintence items to deal with, but less hose and clutter in the engine bay.

 

**** I'm exhausted. Anyways, finished the air pump lines, used two check valves, one FD and one FC unit, mainly for ease of assembly due to the nice step up in tubing sizes.

 

Started making a custom boost gage, EDFC and datalogit stereo din assembly. I was going to do it where the a/c controls were, but decided against it due to potential serviceability issues. This setup works nice, but it pretty much voids all of these items warranty, which I think had already expired anyways so whatever, lol.

 

And I was tackling the wiring on the dash and I had an unpleasant experience of fixing a supposedly professional Best Buy stereo install.

 

Its best buy, what do you expect?

My friend Zach was a installer there (he is on the forums. He was happy when he left .


I fixed my roof, by myself, im bloody happy .
Remember how bad it was? Oh and I found a mount, its in the car for when I head out to the shop again.

 

Added a wide band calibration button to the BOV-EDFC-Datalogit assembly and did some wiring. Dash will go in today, finish most of the wiring and start modifying the gauge cluster.

Thanks Marc, good job on the roof.

 

Very nice Adam. Maybe no Mustang at the Gap in 08.

Thanks Barry, hope your not melting in the heat in Louisiana. And yeah, maybe no mustang at the gap in 08 and lets hope the cop coverage reduces to a level where we can have some fun too, hehe.

Barry, what plane did you pull your turbo heat shield off of? I know it was off of a turbine motor, but wasn’t sure of the model you pull it from. I want to do something similar for when I get the 500R.

Dash in, dash units in, gauge cluster is next, then fluids and a crank over.

 

Adam it is an Allison / Rolls Royce C-20B insulation blanket. It goes between the fuel control / governor system and the turbine. We use to scrap them when the center lower section wore badly. I cut it in half and eliminate the bad section. I may be able to find one for you.
