Polo

Then it was the task of starting!! Had a few issues!! 1st was one of the live to the ecu had to be controlled by pin 24a on the ecu via a relay, fixing this gave me spark and injectors but at the wrong times!! After a few days of fecking about, i figered that the two cam shaft sensors wer the wrong way round and she fired up streight away. Made a heat sheild for the turbo, mainly to stop thermal shocking to the turbo housing when it rains and to keep direct heat away from the brake and clutch master. Cheers guys, got photo bucket sorted!! Sooooooo.................... A bit of arch rolling Paint prep Tried a Do-Luck (I think) r33 wing, suits the car, duno if i like it thogh!

update time! Made this heat sheild a while back but forgot to post pics After making the 3" exhaust, i desided 3" probs wont be enough for 650-700hp, so i made a hole new system out of 3.5" to the Y peice at the back where is goes in to twin 3". 3" to 3.5" reducer 3.5" mandrel bends reducer chopped down and tacked to Vband flange Down pipe complete (tack welded) Due to 3.5" pipe a flexi and bolted flanges wer no longer an option due to budget so slip joints wer used. Exhaust complete and on, for max ground clearance Just some shiny shots Side skirts on Big thanks to Scotty at Skylinepart.com for the coil pack plugs, the stock ones had crumbled to bits!

Still not started, been on the road all day and didnt get back till gone 7pm by wich time i CBA to get into it. But the 420mile road trip was well worth it Along with a visit tot he guys at Japspeed and EPracing to collect a few other bits and bobs, i also went to see Gav at The Speed Factory up near manchester!!! He had this little wearhouse fine sitting there for me With a shipping lable from 2005!! Been sitting for a while untouched, collecting dust! Every single component had its own box, in which the parts wer bubble wrapped and taped and glued to the box to prevent damage! Along with a full set of instructions, Nismo certificate and fitting kit for each item! The quality is unreal, seams a shame to smash it up the instructions and fitting kits wer even attached to the inside of the boxs The fit is very impresive, not a single imperfection!! Any way last night i started making the exhaust, fitting a flexi in the down pipe. Also fitted a single plate clutch for now to get it running, along with taking the box appart and fitting the shifter extension properly, oh and fitted the custom prop. Flush with the chassis

Cheers guys! Bit of an update, i was going to push on tonight and get it started!! Damn its so close! But i didnt want to rush it for the sake of it, few more days! chopped holes in the bonnet Got some front upper camber arms! Cheers Dan at DBpower Thoght this pic was funny, looks like its on hydraulics lol! Half way off the stands that have supported it for the last 3 months! Just some random shots! been 2ft in the air so long seams very strange to have it on the floor, its bloody low! This is on 9.5j et30 rims all round! The 12j et20 rear and 9.5j et12 front should work well with a 20mm spacer on the front For gigles! Out side for the 1st time since xmas looking mean!! Up on the ramp so i can make the exhuast! Can now get a proper look at it, been doing most the build on axle stands at the back of the workshop!! Got the elbow welded on the turbo housing and swaged.

Bit of an update, not much as alot is final fitting still!! All the electrics are totaly finished now! Woop Woop! I had a 3rd inlet welded into the bubble tank Made brakets and mounted it with Artel hose Labled up the fuse and relay boxs turbo oil return made up Made a braket to move the throttle padal closer tot he brake and att he same hight Modded the pedal more to take a cable rather than the fly buy wire. 10 points to who ever can guess where the bolt is from Made a braket for and mounted PS bottle and finished the pipe work Made throttle cable and mount

Catch tank fitted Some notches fut out the fuel rail to give clearance between the CAS sensors brake servo vac pipe with one way valve Thats it for now folks, fingers crossed in the next 7 days il be starting her up!!!

Ok, so we now have power!!! Side lights, dip beam, main beam with warning light, indicators and hazards with warning lights, fog light with warning light, brakes lights, brake fluid warning light, self parking wiprs with two speeds, fans, horn, screen wash, spray for rad and coolers, starter working, ecu powered and probs more i forgot, oh yea boost controller and a KS4 knock monitor All the boost pipes back from tig welding and being swaged Catch/breather tank a touch of scotch bright

Then the task of connecting wire after wire began!! Knock warning light more wires the rest once i finished my dinner

Before i scotched the manifold, pics of after coming soon as i dont it on the way out the door tonight :wack: Vac pipes for boos control, obviosly not final fitted yet, P clips and heat sheild to go on yet.

Bit of an update Rear light loom Fitted mid job madness! The two fuel pick up pots, both now fitted with new walbros, also one fitted with a -6 fitting for the fuel return. Each pot hase two pic ups, this pic is of the second pick up for the standard pot, i just ran a 8mm ID copper pipe back accross the tank for the second one and cable tied it to the tank baffles. So the fuel tank now has two walbros and 4 pick up points. Fitted and the rear half of wiring finished This is all the wires used to go from the dash back, two fuel pump lives, side lights, two indicators, one fog and one brake, The 4 little wires are for the level senders. Labeld up ready for connection Had a delivery from the chaps at Artel :worthy: Made some T peices for take off and return for the bubble tank Got the cam covers back from some tig welding and gave them a dash of silver paint, was going to go blue but i think that would have been too much blue. Iv also taken to all the polished alloy under the bonnet with scotch bright to make it look less bling and chav!

Honda CRV links Better but still not enough il be moving the bar forward a bit Elec board made up Kill switch Iv been woried sick about doing the elec properly, as i can build engines, gearboxs cars easy, i just dont knoiw the correct way with wires but what the heck im trying! This is the wire from master kill to distribution box i made. To the battery Fuse and relay plate made, tucked up behind dash Some soldering on the fuse box's Engine harness/bolk head ECU wired, along with fuel pumps

Pic Pic time!! Sorry fo the delay, but im trying to put maximum hours in so its ready for testing! Deadlin was/is end of feb which is monday so thats out the window!! Aslong as i get it to one track day before competition il be happy! Fuel lines!!! Twin Z32 fuel filters for the twin walbro, twin feed single return fuel system Pressure reg to go on bulk head here Front to rear lines, note the fuel pic up pot, normaly the car will have one in the drivers side which has a pic up in each side of the tank, i have got a second one from Zmanalex on the 350zuk forum, so i will run one pic up pot each side of the tank and two pic up points in each side. Luky the walbro pumps are a direct swap for the storck pump, even the elec plug is the same. Accusump fitted HKS belt courtesy of Drfiftworks Power steering pump braket -4 fitting welded onto water pump housing for turbo water pipe Then it was on to my pet hate!!! Wires!!!! mk4 twin turbo 6spd loom stripped! Managed to get rid of this much wire, could have prob got way with more if i knew what i was doing lol Re-coated with new conduate(sp) and new injector plugs solderd on modded loom fitted to engine

Got the fuel rail back from a mate whos doing the tig and CNC work. Had the cheapo top feed injector conversion rings machined so i can use and O ring to seal them! Custom made fuel rail Starting to get tight for space under there!! Planning bonnet vents! Got the custom made bits back from another mate with another CNC machine! These extend the s14 rear toe arms so i can fit them in place of the stock spring pan arm. Im going to get them plated in silver pasivate, same as the nuts and bolts just silver. And finished the lines, i ran out of hose for the last meter!!

Time for pics people!! Id update every night with little bits if i had time! Made up turbo oil and water lines with mini oil filter for the turbo Finished all the brake and clutch lines. When i say finished, i mean made up not final fitted. Forgot i never showed a pic of the oil sandwich plate thing i had made fitted Hydro, courtousy of DriftWorks, with a custom braket Cam covers drilled and ready to have the -10 breather fittings welded in Now, how to make a mandril bend tighter with out comprimising flow! Can make 3x 90 deg bends from 1x 180deg bend! What is it for???? This!!

Pic time again Starting to get really excited now!! Even thogh im short quite a few bits to finish it, its starting to shap up nicely!! If any one wants to sponsor me a twin plate clutch, some brakes, front camber arms or cash, please PM me! lol :wack: Some more bushenating Big thanks to my mate Mike for giving a hand cleaning and painting various parts Glad to announce yet another sponsor for the year, Hel performance hoses have kitted the car out with some brake lines! BTW these and any products from Hel, SuperPro, Pipercross, Japspeed and Driftworks can now be purchased at S-Body Automotive (my company) Slight modifications to the HSD's to allow the car to be lowerd more, 23mm to be exact! Diff cleaned, painted, welded locked, and fitted, along with the exhaust, prop shaft, bracing and front suspension.

Nice shiny Japspeed arms http://i55.photobucketalbums/g158/P0l0200sxy/138.jpg Test fitting a 12j et20 18", at 1st glance i thoght it wouldnt work but with a bit of a flare and a stretch it will look mighty fine!!! That is as low as the coilovers will go so a bit of playing there to be done, this has got to be ubber low to pull 18" rims off! Even with poke out!

Pic time!!! Had the guy next door make this for me on his CNC lave, its so i can ditch the standard oil cooler and oil filter housing and run two sandwich plates. One for the oil cooler and one for sensors. Also with just the oil cooler one i couldnt get the -12 pipe to clear the block. If any one wants one made, for two sandwich plates or one i can get them done! Spent some time cleaning all the suspension bits il be using! Drill and a wire mop, some scotch bright and a bit of sand paper. Before After a dip and electro plating Bit of cleaning and painting the steel bits Also, im very please to announce a new sponsor, SuperPro have kindly supplied me with all the bushs i could possably need! ta da So before i could fit it all up i had to sort the fuel tank breather Plenty of copper grease on every nut and bolt

So i went up to Earls today to get a load of fittings!! £470 and thats with 33% discount lol And got on with making front brake lines, ripping the front suspension off and fitting the HSD's Brake line

Its that time again! Not done too much as im waiting on parts which i couldnt afford :wack: now iv sold my daily s14a i can crack on again Oil pipes, one way valve and T for Accusump. Made a few fittings to get welded in to the boost pipes, one for the air temp sensor and the other for boost control (one for each wastegate and one for the controller) Fuel tank got a clean and paint Some under floor bracing and filler neck fitted HSD's Neck protector Thinking of swapping out the stock spring pan arm for a modified s14 toe arm. Its about 3inch too short ATM. Pipercross came and mesured up for my new filter And i got the fuel tank in, along with a few other cleaned up and painted bits Now iv got a bit of cash from the daily tomorow il be ordering all sorts of bits so i can move on!

Masive thanks to Japspeed for a hole host of parts, including all the alloy pipe work, exhaust parts, suspensions arms, intercooler, rad..... The intercooler pipe work is now ready for welding, just going for one pipe each side, so less silicon needed. Trick with the pipe work on this is to keep it high on the hot side so i can get the air filter under it, seing as there is not alot of space the filter will be up against the pipe work, so having the hot pipe high is better for heat reasons. Also the pipe work has to be as far forward as poss as the wheels are not far from each corner, giving hardly any room infront of the wheel, especialy on lock! Thats all folks!!

Cheers guys! Bit of an update, been busy the last 3 days. Converted the N/A sump to turbo buy getting a -10 fitting welded in for turbo oil return. Finished the oil pick up and baffle plate sump finished with dash of paint Sump fitted Engine in da hole Tight!!! New Japspeed 350z alloy rad, chopping and modding the 350gt fans to fit! Plenty of clearance with out the fans on, not so easy with the fans!! So i had to trim loads of the plastic front end to move the rad forword so it all fitted!! Moved forword and fans fitted, also very tight!! Gear stick extension perfect thanks to Mr Stevos fabrications and my mesurments Japspeed 1jz top mount conversion Vband down pipe fits perfect with out a mod needed Started mocking up some pipe work! It probs going to poke out the bonnet a little but i dont want to comprimise on the radious of the bend and there is no way it can go down! Mocking up cooler locations So thats it for now, waiting on a few bits to turn up now and some things to sell, bank is empty!!!

Ok found a bit of time for a small update. Been bolting a few bits on, pics below! Dash and scuttle just test fitting. Admireing the shinyness! Looked at the key ring to see that its JDM YO!! Pedal box, column, wiper motor, vin plate and brake servo final fitted Dash test fitting and more trimming Seat and wheel Next is to finisht he sump and oil pic up, sit down and make a list of bits i need to final fit the engine, get it bolted in and pray to god i find the money to buy the clutch ASAP!

Any ways, today we got paint!! WOOP WOOP!! Oh and my custom prop arived!! So we got it in the booth this morn! Masive thanks to Matt Carter for towing it out of my snow filled yard with his 4x4!! And Robbin for getting the paint on and done so quick!! Epic win in the ice, no need for dollies, we wer just pushing the car where we wanted, slid like a hover craft! In the booth, final bit of scotching, degreasing and masking Robbin has quite a few Porchers at his place!! 5 inside and 4 outside! Then some paint and a bake! Demasked and back at mine So now i can finaly start bolting on the pile of bits iv got sitting here!! Full steam ahead!!

Small update, the body shop is strugling to fit it in to get the engine bay and inside painted so iv not really done alot with it! But it is now ready for paint inside and engine bay Started playing with the dash, chopped out the centre, if you look back in the thread youl see the centre bit has loads of switchs in it for stereo, heater, dvd etc etc. Holes for 16 switchs, Ignition fuel pump 1 fuel pump 2 fans bypass side lights dip beam main beam indicators rear fog wipers screen wash horn heater hazards elec window oil/intercooler/rad spray bar A tray at the top to house boost controller, knock meter and gearbox oil temp gauge. A load of elec parts orderd, fues boxs, relays, junction boxs, switchs etc etc Finaly picked up sexy turboness!!Big thanks to OwenDevelopments! GT35/86r with HTA billit comp wheel and WRC metal bearing case! standard comp wheel HTA wheel The turbo even gets its own little oil filter!! -10 oil return flange Also took a trip up to EPRacing and collected some bits a bobs Nardi wheel, snap off boss, oil temp gauge for gearbox and locking catchs for bonnet and boot, as its going to be road legal. Also got this nice grill And thanks to MrSteveo i now how a shifter extension :smokin:

Thoght id update this while having my lunch today. This is going to be copied from another forum so some of it might not make sence, bear in mind this was all over last winter lol. Time to resurrect this thread!!! I was thinking of selling it and moving onto some thing else through out the year but in Portugal it worked and I came 4th so it's given me some confidence that it can work!! Throgh out the year iv had endless problems with the car, mainly power steering and transmission. Iv cured the power steering by fitting a 350z pump. So over the winter il be doing the following to make it a hole load more awesome!! Handling is prety bad and it feels like a bus to drive, so il be fitting/making fibre glass doors, front wings, rear 1/4s, boot and bonnet, chopping out all the metal I can with in the rules! Also to level up the weight loss and make it handle better I'm shifting weight around in the car for better distribution by moving the rad and other things to the back. Il also be remaking alot of things in light weight materials. Steering lock is a major issue with the car, loosing out in qualification due to weak angle so il be doing alot of work on the front steering and suspension. The car is going to be corner weighted next week so I have an idea of what iv got to work with and then compare it afterwards. Il also be fitting a v160 6spd box, this will be much better suited to the 3.4:1 diff I have now, which is alot of the problems I'm having with blowing boxes, ATM pulling away in 1st is like 2nd gear as it's so long geared! The other thing I'm going to do if I can afford it is change the hks ecu out for syvecs and go for closer to 700hp. To help with the power I'm hoping to freshen up the engine with rods, pistons, springs and cams. Right, I'm off the rob a bank lol Bit of an update, shes now prety much ready to go off to have the cage, inside and engine bay painted, 3 weeks after id planned but shit happens!! More stripping, i forever seem to be unding nuts and bolts on this, its never ending :wack: Big old alloy subframe very clean under there, not a spec of rust!!! And finished the seam welding, finaly!!!! Then a good coat of stonechip Should have the paint inside done by next weekend and i can finaly start final fitting stuff.
