Big respect to sleeper ss today, he's sorted me out with a daewoo battery tray, clamps and battery terminals, thanks mate now i can get on with moving it to the rear

All big respect aswell to scopez for the donation of some induction piping and connectors, still playing with it but will put photos up as soon as finished mate

 

[Noddie]

We could spot that tray in when i come down if you like? or you gonna bolt it in?

 

[martinb]

Welding sounds better matey, depends on where I stick it? I've wired the positive lead from front to rear scopes kindly donated me a jump lead which is long and one end broken

It's the same spec as oem wiring so should be ok me thinks....

Finished off routing of induction kit so just cold air feed to fit now and fse fpr until some manifolds etc

Got some more paint stripping done and more filler!! Hate the damn stuff, soon she will be in high build primer ( I hope!)

Pay day friday so a still looking for a janspeed guys if anyone has on spare?

 

[sleeper_ss]

That'll be the Daewoo :laugh:

flippin hell, did the valve just snap? good ol' daewoo's

Nothing abit of engine chemical metal cant fix!

 

[martinb]

Finished induction piping and fitted power boost valve, one of the fuel regulator screws were rounded and was a pig to get out!! Haven't driven or started it yet but will report in due course of any changes. Also need to get the gauge as I have no idea what it's set at

Decided to not put battery in rear, too much funking about, took a step back and re-thought the battery tray route. Figured if I remove the two right hand side holding bolts and twist the battery tray I can now put battery vertical which gives me just enough room to tuck piping behind..... Voilà !

Almost done in the bay for now, just need My manifold and that will be it for a while

Few photos for you

 

[will_halligan]

looking nice, are you putting the front bumper back on? :grinning:

 

[martinb]

Yeh it's just off as it's being prepped for primer

 

[baguete]

Only the paint missing?

 

[will_halligan]

Only the paint missing?

What colour are you going for?

 

[martinb]

And 1.0 pistons and cams :laugh:

Hoping to have it sprayed by end of November fwn

 

[Guy]

Nice one Marty, this is still one of my fave threads on here. When it's painted, it's going to be SOOOOO awesome (Y).

 

[martinb]

Thankyou mate never ever again am I putting anything other than proper 2 pak paint on my car, bring on the paint!!

Just been out and tried to jump start the car.., damn thing won't start now since i put the power boost valve on,

Anyideas? It's plugged in right. From fuel filter to fuel rail and fse power boost valve to return

Help please....

Did you rotated the top bolt to make some pressure? What pressure the gauge says?

 

[martinb]

Still yet to order the gauge, I got the fpr of eBay 2nd hand came of another nissan as it came with the adapter plate, I know it's not set but I at least thought if would start!!

 

[Noddie]

get the gauge mate, your shooting in the dark otherwise. might have flooded?

 

[martinb]

Funking thing, think it came of a pulsar so would have been at a higher rate probably, anyone got a guage I can borrow/buy please?

Also how I get rid of flooded engine? Cheers for the reply

 

[sleeper_ss]

Take the plugs out & let the petrol evaporate..

[martinb]

Hmmm been reading about the powerboost valve,seems like there no worth the hassle, considering going out now and swapping back to stock.....

 

[martinb]

Nice one matey

 

[mckenziecz]

nice to see more progress mate. i think them boost valves are only good with turbo setup. am i wrong?

 

[martinb]

According to ebb dude there meant to be ok, just not the one I've got, im going back to stock and it's going on ebay,nevermind, manifold hunting again...!

 

[ferritboy]

I've messed about with a pbv and tbh they are aload of bull, stock FTW marty. 1.0l pistons but why the 1.0 cams (remind me again)

 

[martinb]

No not 1.0 cams, re profiled cams from autosprint

1.0 pistons to heighten compression

All followed by some sort of remap

 

[Noddie]

All followed by some sort of remap

 

[martinb]

Got me bargain through eBay, omp road and sport pads, brand new and unopened only 8 quid!! Well chuffed, need some vented and grooved discs though, can anyone recommend any?

Fitted stock fuel pressure regulator, no starty yet but have left plugs out as per sleeper ss overnight to evaporate the extra fuel

Had the battery on charge all night so should all be spot on.... Again:laugh:

 

[Guy]

Marty, I'm using EBC turbogroove discs. Dimpled and grooved .

 

[martinb]

Ok mate, I'll have A look fir some k11 ones

Got the car started yesterday whilst trying to run the battery lead from front to back I unplugged a sensor in the passenger footwell, after hours of trying different things I remembered........ What a complete nob!!

All fine and started first time, so took some photos of it

Today I was removing the rest of the paint from the car on rear quarter, couple more hours worth then time for filler
