Scott Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 What do you mean by the starter cheat. Some people hook up a breaker bar to the crank pulley then start the car. With the EFI fuse out of course Uses the starter to break off the bolt for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Sounds pretty dangerous to me. Do they do it to tighten it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Got the fuel pump installed today. Done nothing else on it though. Spending the day with the wife. Back on the job tomorrow though. Difference between the 2 pumps is huge. Pump on the left is a regular walbro and the 1 on the right is a Jay racing modified 044. Johnny tells me it's good to flow enough fuel for around 900HP.

I'm sure Johnny will be able to tell you more. He had 1 fitted to his MR2. I'm sure he will fill you in with all the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 We discussed that today mate and Johnny is looking for a conservative map of around 700-750hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Nice work mate, you pulled that apart quickly, that pump looks a nice upgrade an all, Might want bigger injectors, 800's may just do 750bhp but you will be at 100% duty cycle which is not a good idea.

It took me about 6-7hrs all told to get to this stage. The strip down is the quick part, it's the build up and getting it all look neat and OEM takes the time for me. If the injectors are an issue, Johnny will bite the bullet and go for some bigger ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Sounds pretty dangerous to me. Do they do it to tighten it too. Getting the starter to turn the engine backwards is a bit tricky The starter bump to undo the nut is perfectly safe so long as the socket doesn't break or come off and the bar is secure and substantial enough not to fail. I lock the flywheel with an adapter that bolts on instead of the starter motor. If all else fails I drill the bumper, and air con rad and use an F1 air starter to jar the bolt free. Just kidding, usually..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Jamie, although I think Jay is running 800s, I'd like something around his power. But not that high till I go forged. I would be delighted with 700bhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 It's hit and miss with air gun. The majority I have done won't undo with an air gun. Locking it and using a bar is the only option in that case but hopefuly the gun will do it. Remember my one with the Boostlogic pulley That was a bit of a butt clencher!

When I did all my searching around I couldn't find any braided stuff made to go "in-tank" - only the Gates specific submersible hose which is not braided.

I checked with the hydraulics place before I used it. It's not rubber inside it PTFE (Teflon) made but a converlute type so it doesn't crease either. I was also told it would be fine with race fuel too:eyebrows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Did some more work today. Took the crank pulley off and fitted the rear strut bar. Crank locking on. Put a towel on the bodywork so not to scratch or damage it. Pulley off. Fuel hanger is in. But I need to clean out the top part of the tank cos it's covered in dust as you can see. Stripped back the panels for the strut brace. Trimmed the panels so there an OEM fit with the strut bar. It looks on the Pi$$ in the pic but it is straight lol. Carpets back in. The bar fit through the stock holes in the carpet. But the carpet needs some Velcro attached to the back to pull the edges tighter to keep the lines of the boot flowing correctly.

johnny g Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Loving the strut brace install there mate. Looks mint! Was the crank pulley easy enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Yep came off very easily. The bolt wasn't even tight. I undid it with a rachet lol. Pulley also slid straight off with no issues too. The strut bar was slightly more interesting though, I'll buzz you in a bit mate.

hodge Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) A bit of minimalistic work gone on today. Well I say today, I started at 3.30am lol. I pulled out the loom from the inner wing and re-routed it slightly differently. I've tucked away the ABS Relay box, removed all the unessessary brackets and extended a couple of wires so I could get them tucked away out of sight. I've moved the alarm box back beside the brake servo but still needs to be secured. Finally I've gave the inner wing a good clean cos it was canny dirty once everything was removed. Loom removed. All cleaned up. I've got the alternator wire to extend then I'll move onto the bulkhead.

hodge Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) A bit more engine bay clean up today. I've decided to remove the alarm siren and locate it in the inner wing with the siren facing the engine bay so it can still be heard but it's out the way. Still undecided where the fusebox is going to go though. Here's a couple of pics so far.
