Porks bike carbs and boost project

[robinxr4i]

Love your manifold, stunning work! I'm starting to wonder if this car will ever be finished, I can just see you forever changing and upgrading it lol.

A lathe is a amazing tool to have, I have a small one like h70micra but its not been set up for years, Im waiting to take delivery of a full size Harrison lathe and a Bridgeport Miller

Alright for some eh
When you get your new lathe you'll have to sell it to Neil

Small ones won't lighten you a flywheel but they are stupidly handy for making those niggly bits. Like my nylon bushes and ally reducer

Lol cheers.
I think injection will be the last major upgrade
Only few more months till my baby girl arrives, then free time will disappear

 

[h701micra]

Enjoy her mate she'll grow up fast

Routine is the best thing... if you know she's gonna feed at 12 then sleep for 3 hours... you know you've got playtime

neil use a microcontroler to active the servo, for exemple a picaxe 8m2, it's easy programing

 

[pork]

Il look into that later.

Engine out.......

Gives me a chance to tidy few things up in engine bay, remove some rusty bits and weld on the radiator support I made aaaaggges ago. Also crank pulley is on lathe, should be done latrr

 

[pork]

Ooooo clean

 

[pork]

Trigger wheel groove cut

So I can now weld it exactly centre

Question is where to weld it

 

[h701micra]

9 teeth BTDC ?

 

[frank]

sensor on the front maybe neil ? gap at the bottom?

 

[pork]

I'm yet to buy a sensor, I take it most/any will work
Wanna get most of it done before I put it all back in

Spose I best get reading the mega manual site too

 

[l_jonez]

As I said earlier find the best/easiest place to mount the vr sensor then with the engine at TDC rotate the trigger wheel so that the missing tooth it the right angle away from the sensor then weld in place. Simples.

Any hall effect sensor from a car. ABS sensor will do

Some engine porn whilst it's out

Sorry to see this not work out the first time! I think you'll be happy you went EFI in the end though Looking forward to seeing this boost down a strip in the summer

So am I.

It's all been a learning curve, fun too

But, yes, efi will be great

 

[l_jonez]

I really like the Toyota manifold, should be much better than the standard item and the front of the engine just looks crazy. You seem to have miles of room in the k10 engine bay.

 

[pork]

There's quite a bit off room, not so much now! All the boost pipes run inside the bumper lol

 

[padraicR]

Not like the lime green anymore i take it ? Gone to black ? Loving the build only started catching up here now had fell way behind really hope i get to JAE to see this

 

[pork]

Cheers.
Beings the engine been in an out so many times , I had scratched the hell out off it.
So was starting to rust so had to repaint. There was loads off black so used it lol

 

[pork]

Shiny new stuff

Swirl pot, 255lph injection pump, fuel filter and hose

 

[l_jonez]

Where did you get the filter from? Its pretty much the last thing I need.

 

[pork]

Fuel pumps online

Comes with clips too

 

[h701micra]

That swirl pot looks familiar you'll need a reducer toolooking at it

Glad its coming together

 

[pork]

I've got loads off little bits and reducers at work

Done this to today

13mm to 8mm was mine as a heads up

Nice fandanglry pipework

 

[pork]

Jus need a 5/2 solenoid, and that's the changeover sorted,. Tested, and only need 2 psi to operate it, that's what I have at idle, so there's enough to reset it off throttle

 

[pork]

Are the standard fuel lines ok to use with the higher pressure from the injection pump?

 

[frank]

as long as its got the embedded cord netting in the rubber neil, yes

 

[pork]

I meant the pipes that run under the car.

 

[h701micra]

Metal ones? They'll be fine

 

[frank]

the k11 ones are plastic mate, yours are steel iirc, so fine if not corroded

 

[pork]

Thanks people

 

[pork]

This was done today

 

[h701micra]

Respect given again

Looks good Neil when you planning on having it back together?

 

[pork]

Within next month or 2 lol

Gunna get all fuel sytem and piping done, then when I've got the money, buy the ecu

 

[h701micra]

Good stuff soon be twin charged lunacy
Speaking of fueling I need to refit mine

How's the bodywork coming?

 

[pork]

That'll stay as it is, not to bothered how it looks, as long as it works

 

[h701micra]

Function over form

 

[pork]

Fo sho !
Really would like to go to jae with it this year. Meet sone of you lot lol

 

[h701micra]

I got excited thinking you'd turned up last year
It was another blue k10
James was a good laugh though

 

[pork]

Last year the car jus wasn't gunna Make it,
Should this time.

Should be a fair amount of k10's this year too

 

[h701micra]

Looking like it theres 6 I can think off the top of my head

 

[pork]

Couple off small jobs done today

Crank sensor bracket

Thicker flange made up for supercharger, thus shouldn't bend!

 

[pork]

Got question regarding the injector ports, beings I didn't know about using the cga manifold instead off the cg13 mani for top feeds

The rubber washer type parts are to baggy on the top feed injectors.

Should the injector o-ring be tight on that rubber washer? Or should it be able to be inserted into the actual manifold hole

If so, can I jus drill this out to the correct size?

 

[Noddie]

I think you will need the green inserts and then some thin tube for extra shimming. Frank is man really. You don't want them pushed through that little hole though.

 

[pork]

He did mention about using some off the sun roof rubbers I think lol

So defo don't drill

 

[Noddie]

Yeah. The green bits and then some sunroof rubber slipped over the injected I think is what frank did.
