first surf build.

[Big]

I've decided to hook it up as a manual shift.

Wise move.. I was a little apprehensive myself going auto but maaate.. it's just awesome and manual shifting is so good.. you wont go back..

[skidmark]

bit more progress

ballast resistors for injectors

made a mount for link.going as high as possible under passenger dash.l/h vent may no longer work now...


then started the new loom

[Mattman]

Nice work.

[Big]

what size injectors did you get in the end ? Mine are 385cc so should be about 65% duty.. maybe even less.. watching

Mine are out of a evo 2-3. I spoke to kelvin at car tune company before I got them and he recommended about the 400-550cc range. Mine are 510cc
They worked in a 2litre turbo so sort of assumed theyed be ok in a 4 litre with 8 of 'em. Time will tell I guess. Yours will probably be running before mine is though.

Maybe.. but I love seeing what other guys are doing as it gives people ideas and inspiration blah blah.. sound like someones father..lol But you get what I mean and also gives the younger folk ideas and the whole give it a try and can do attitude..
I also mwas looking at the 510's but man alive they are huge cc rating for the UZ unless of coarse you are going 800 hp..+

[Batfastard]

Hey skid my 2 cents worth. Put your link up at roof hight .i put mine at there because how many times have you had water up to your bum in your truck

[skidmark]

bmw idle speed solenoid, remote mount and only needs one aux output to drive it vs the factory 4.
the plan is to make a flange with a pipe out of it
then some more random wiring shots from today



still some more to go on this stuff.haha

[Big]

silly question.. but what type of sc you going to use? and I take it you are going to mount to top part of the inlet ?

[skidmark]

[skidmark]

a bit tidier


have to pull manifold off at some point to fit new starter wires and connect onto the knock sensors,

[tomsoffroad]

Tidy tidy. Very nice

[shortylux]

This thing is going to be a monster! Awesome work bro.

Did you talk to a cert guy before doing the 8mm plate chassis stiffener? (I assume you will use Neal Miller?) You may run into trouble with regard to modifying the crush zone (or something like that). I might be barking up the wrong tree though.

ha the vh series motors are quite wide, dont think one would fit,clearances on the driversside between steering box, alternator, steering shaft,and exhaust,and coiltower are getting closer...next time id probly go coilovers...but $ talks.haha

You are right. I'm doing one in the same body as you have. It doesn't fit.

Keep up the good work bro.

Cheers bro. Yep plan on using Neal miller, have spoke to him about a few things, but not that.never considered full chassis' s haveing crush zones. But the plan is to exo it aswell, so that would affect crush zones also would it not?

[shortylux]

Maybe. He told me that my exo was not a cert issue so long as it didn't affect pedestrians (ie keep it close as to the body so it won't trap limbs, no sharp stuff etc etc). I guess if you were to run front bush bars connected to the cage then maybe that affects it? Also it bolted to the chassis, so no cert for the welds.

When I coiled my leaf hilux I welded a gusset in the chassis between the two leaf mounts as the chassis was only 80mm tall there (roughly) and I thought it wasn't up to the job of supporting the coils and the hard time I planned to give it. Also it had my bump stop mounted on this gusset. Neal made me chop a piece of the gusset out, and then he called it a "bump mount" rather than a "gusset"

I would guess he won't be stoked about your 8mm plate. But talk to him, he is a reasonable guy and he may be able to come up with a solution that keeps you both happyish. It may be different for you seeing as you are going from IFS to coil. I don't know.

Good luck.

[skidmark]

Ok thanks for the heads up, better to find out now though. Ill get in touch with neal and see what he says.hopefully its ok as removing it would jot be fun. ...

Alistair

[skidmark]

have made new fuel lines.cert man said underneath started to run outa room for when exhausts and stuff go in so have tucked in by trans tunnel.hopefully ok and dont get too hot. main line is alloy tube with heatshrink over top to add a little protection.still got to clamp it all up and get a few extra fittings..oh and ive probably gone over the top like everthing else

[skidmark]

pissed around and got a couple small things done, enlareged hole in tunnel for diffrent selector to bolt in and cut/reshaped hi low selector lever. made braket to bolt surge tank too and also mounted intercooler
