Rowleym Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I think I'm -tarded. And this is awkward.. But I actually got your tps sensor in the mail today LOL. Let's just ignore that. I sent it on its way today again and the lady said it will probably be there tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 So you are sliding into the tent tonight and firing this up?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I think once he gets a TPS, and gets the fuel rail welded up, its just a matter of making a fuel rail mount bracket, modding some of the charge piping, and wiring up the sensors. I THINK HE TOLD ME HE WOULD HAVE IT DONE NEXT WEEKEND Im pretty sure it bugs the crap out of him when I prod him like this , lol.

YoungCR Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Seriously though in for more progress! All the custom fabrication is fascinating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Well more progress this weekend. Drilled a new hole in the top of the fuel rail and welded up the FPR mount and old hole. Turned out rather nice. Mounted it all back on the engine and it fits very purdy. Started figuring out the mounting location for the fuel rail and decided to bend up a bracket to go from the stock fuel rail mounts to the manifold stud. Then I also started running the megasquirt harness and wiring through the firewall and into the engine bay. Boy this is going to be some tedious wiring work!!

jc43089 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Is that lamp cord on the injectors?? B C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 If you are referring to the white wires coming off the injectors, no it is not lamp cord, lmfao!!! They are injector harnesses like these here. http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-New-Fuel-Injector-Bosch-Rectangular-Style-EV1-Connectors-Harnesses-/230869628628 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Ok good deal, I just thought it looked funny. Also, this thing is going to be awesome when done, keep up the good work. Bassboy3313 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Be ye not deceived. He salvaged the lamp cord that was powering the fan. The curse of Fat Bob can never be lifted. ...okay not really, but I remember you said you needed some brown wires..... guess who is throwing away some lamps with brown wires!?!?!?!? call me.

Bassboy3313 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Went ahead and mounted the fuel rail along with the intake manifold. Snap also came over to help and got a big chunk of the wiring done. Thanks again! Tomorrow I should have pretty much all the wiring done with the exception of a few things like IAT sensor since that hasn't been mounted yet.

So running by Monday?? **slowly exits thread**** That's nice that things get done when he is over. When I go over there, we just play with UV lights. @__@ Also. I hear with the removal of krap-jet you gained room in the engine bay. Any plans for a nice shiny bay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Oh you! (flips the wrist) Well thats a great thing to play with dye and uv light. We had our rave parties too when I had my coolant leak. Tons of room on the passenger side of the bay. Eventually when I pull the engine to do the 2.0 crank/rod/piston upgrade I will definitely clean up the bay and paint it nicely. That wont be for awhile tho. I want to enjoy it for awhile before it goes under the knife again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Well, haven't done much of any work on the car the past few weeks due to cold ass weather, snow blocking entrance to the work area, work taking up tons of time and now just got an accepted offer on a duplex I am purchasing in Bayview. Busy, busy, busy. Hopefully soon I will muster up the motivation and time to work on that damn wiring again. I did however semi-purchase a set of wheels for when the Groupe 2 flares go on. Expect some pics later tonight if all goes well. DrLeadFoot and KaiserRolls 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 What kind of wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Picked up some 15x9 et-15 Rota Grid V wheels. They are bronze with black plastidipped centers. The offset and size should be perfect for what my setup will be. I realized that finding the size and offset I need in the bbs style (my first choice) is nearly impossible or down right way too expensive for me. So as these are my first choice, they should do the job well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassboy3313 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Well it has definitely been a loooong time since I had the chance to work on the car. This weekend was a good start again. I got the wiring figured out after realizing the ignition power switch wire to the starter was on the wrong terminal causes a no crank situation. Also removed some more rats nest wiring from PO. Ran the grounds for megasquirt and wideband & also the switched source for megasquirt. On top of that I removed the gauge cluster to eliminate more bullcrap wiring from PO. Installed fan on intercooler for added airflow as well as to blow air over turbo too. Had to cut the two mount pegs off to get the intercooler to fit better. Here is mockup of location. Took off the hood latches for sandblasting and powdercoating. More to come (obviously!) Sent from my XT901 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Look at those 6" charge pipes and 12" thick intercooler.And you accuse me of overdoing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Took off today and got to work on the car some more. Finished powdercoating the hood hinges. Connected megasquirt to the laptop and tested a few things to see if wiring was correct. So far everything seems to check out fine which is a relief. Snugged down the intake manifold. Bolted down the throttle body. Ran the fuel hose from the stock hard lines to the fuel rail. Removed the dented up front US valance. Old US valance compared to the euro valance I will be modifying (Thanks again Kyle) Mock fit the oil cooler and ran the lines into engine bay. Started working on the custom oil cooler mounts and thats where I stopped. I will be doing more work tomorrow as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
