and the box fitted back into the car, after fitting the line I’m not happy with it as it’s far to long and I’m going to make better one using speed flow

tightened up the balancer bolt and fitted the mandrel and belt for the oil pump. 

 

also fitted the a/c lines to the a/c pump and with the brackets pushing the pump further out from the block gives so much more room for the turbo drain to snake through

I also forgot to mention how easy the top starter motor bolt is without all that shit under the inlet manifold, you literally just reach in from the top and put it straight in by hand

got the correct radiator and slipped it in only for the fan to hit on the mandrel for the oil pump. Out it came and will be for sale while I go back to the drawing board

Haven’t updated this for a while, I went on holidays and then had the flu 3 times in 2 months and when I have been well it’s been lots of little jobs that haven’t been finished for one reason or another.

First I changed the fuel return line from -6 to -8 

Replaced the short series filter to a long one4D7C3390-05F4-402B-BAC4-7804E0CC8B69.thumb.jpeg.4d3e59ead324348ebcc06f3ea4b45d4c.jpeg

then I grab a set of these brackets and took the option for the hicas line holders as well

installed them and used the hicas line holders to hold the 2 -6 lines for the power steering

I changed the fuel rain from being twin -6 feed and single -6 return to single -8 in and out

mounted the filter and plumbed them together

also am moving the flex sensor closer to the regulator and grabbed turbosmarts new -8 reg. Still some fittings and etc to get them in there, also fitted a pressure sensor for more safety

Also means you can setup differential fuel pressure on the Kebabtech 😎

So regardless of slightly fluctuations on fuel pressure you'll inject the right amount.

Notice my logs before had rock solid AFRs? 😊

Got most of the oil system plumbed up 

got the oil filter into place, I hate where it is but it was the only place I could find where it wasn’t in the way of anything

Then plumbed the oil cooler In, BMRS fitting and hoses make this stuff so easy

and then the 2 -16 hoses run the length of the car into the boot, need to build a bracket to mount the tank and then the oil system will be done

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
