More parts came so more parts were installed!

New thermostat housing because my old one looks a bit tired and JHH oil distribution block, decided to remove the RB20 oil housing and went with this sexy bit of gear. Also new sensor installed too. 

Yes those are 2x -10AN fittings on the block, no need for homo sandwich plates or shitty relocation kits!

Once again thanks to the team at Kudos Motorsports!

Nice, I was looking at these, but already went down the path of a shitty relocation kit. so next time.

might just be the photo angle, but looks like that pressure sender will foul the oil line?

That looks awesome but the oil filter housing/cooler has always boggled my mind in these cars.

When you fit the JHH kit, does it come with the side to put the filter on also? Do you need to use a different filter and did you need to change the stud that it mounts to (does the JHH screw on to say an RB25 block if you just remove the stock cooler) I hate to be a pain with all the questions but this does my head in haha. 

you will need the oil filter mount, I have an old HKS one lying around so will be using that.. you could easily use a BMC one which would be just as good!

And yes, you would require a new filter as the external oil filter housing I have won't fit the OEM oil filter - generally the Z422 fits :)

and and.. yes the JHH housing bolts on the place where the OEM water/heat exchanger oil filter housing goes on

Haven't done too much since the last update, however all the hose blanking caps now all have hose clamps and I finished swapping the plugs on the injector loom. Decided to not use the conversion plugs and cut off the OEM ones.20171203_212849_HDR.thumb.jpg.4bb21c04fdaae60f6ada8255d17408a9.jpg

So got the blanking cap for the middle feed for the rail and started to install the injectors... Well that really didn't go to plan :(

I needed the o-rings distant to be 55mm at least, I didn't check and mine measures 48mm so no deal!

Are you going to need a second fuel pump, how much power do you think you could make with the walbro on e85?

Good question, I plan to just get it to a sensible 400kW for now - then once I'm ready might get a surge tank and run dedicated -8an lines to and from the rail :)

-8 = fuel system bling :)

Bulkier fittings and lines/hoses start to become a packaging/routing problem then.

But I like.

Do you think the walbro will go much past 400kw or is that about it for the pump?

If more fuel supply is required, just for info purposes, lets say the walbro 450 is out of flow at 400kw and you want 450kw can you add a smaller walbro 255 to the system?

Usually i read people using 2x the same pump but would be a bit overkill to use another walbro 450 pump in this case.

Also would you stage the second pump, if so what boost or rpm would you turn it on?

Sorry for all the  questions ?

No need to apologise :)

I'm not entirely sure to be honest, but I will be running a fuel pressure sensor and monitoring that. No more ghetto video recordings of the FPR on the dyno haha.

@SiR_RB with his old car and old setup did over 440kW on a single Wallahbro pump so I'm assuming I should be ok for now. If not surge tank, twin Wallahs and done lol. 

Ideally you want matched pumps if not you'll encounter massive flow issues, as one pump is delivering more than the other pump which could possibly lead to smaller one stalling.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
