Will get a piccy for your Ivan,

As far as I know its a Cusco item - would be very very easy to copy. I intend to make another small bracket that sits on the top of this one to hold an external fuel pressure regulator.

I will also post up a picture of the fuel rail today - it would be good if somebody could help me identify which injectors I have.

Yeah I was thinking of mirroring a cusco stopper and maybe try to get them made some time.. It looks so much more solid than the available alternatives for LHD cars. It looks as if it's made from bent steel sheet (heavy gauge) and then with some reinforcement welded to it..but what does the bolt above the MBC do? Usually there's one on the end of the stopper to adjust it against the master cilinder..

Bit more work today - nothing too serious though as I am still tired from a busy week.

I've now removed the aircon from the engine bay (there is still all the stuff behind the dashboard to come out yet though). Its all in really good condition (if a little dirty) and is for sale along with the aircon panel from the centre console if anyone wants it.

Also removed the viscous fan from the end of the water pump. This is not going back on the car as I hope to run an electric fan system when the car goes back together.

There is a picture of the exhaust manifold too - this is 4-1 item from Trust/Greddy. Each runner looks a fairly even length which is good and the collector welding is all very tidy too

One of the things I dont seem to be able to do right now is remove the fuel line from the fuel filter. This is a banjo bolt but no mater how hard I try it won't come undone. Any tips ?

Thats all for today - getting ready for an adults firework party (read drunken adults with fireworks). Just think - this time last year I was out trying to take nice long exposure photos of fireworks going off above my car - maybe next year.

LOL...That banjo bolt wrecked my head....and my knuckles!!!

what i did was sprray some wd40 on it and leave it for a while....then i put a ratchet on it (make sure its a gud one!!) and hung out of it!! once it kicks once its sorted! hand loose!! just the initial kick is poxy!! hope that helps...

Ian,

I remember I had alot of problems with that damn fuel filter when I replaced it. The fact that it can move in its rubbers doesn't help much either

Still with so much removed you should be able to reach it better then I ever could Good luck with it anyways

The other thing i remeber about your car was NO OIL COOLER. Apparently (i.e. heard from other sources) a few engines have been damaged by the owners not uprating their oil cooler as they increased engine power, so running without during the kind of abuse a drift session creates might not be a good thing.

If you want to catch me on messenger i have a couple of ideas...

Ian, tnx on the pictures.
Yesterday we started pero's bluetop + 20V ITB's + e-manage.
We measured afr on the idle and it looks Ok. Still have to setup few more things before we start to map the engine.

Good luck on your project.

Zax is it an open throttles setup(from silver or blacktop the ITBs) with map sensor? what e-manage you are using?

[XJS]

This is exactly my planned setup (blue top 16V with MAP ECU, T3 adapter, 20V ITB, e-manage (blue). I read somewhere problems with TPS. Is it true? I'm not close enough to try, still lurking with chassis/suspension building.

GReddy e-manage: an inexpensive fuel management system... blah...blah....blah...
There 's only one Greddy e-manage and it cost enough to scare you...
(its pretty affordable if you compare it with other aftermarket managemenbts though)
