Small Update!


The head has been worked and put back together with the brian crower stage 3 kit, the Radiator was apparently full of mud when they put a hole in it to clean it.
Flywheel has been installed as well and I still have not got my PFC so 850cc injectors are not going on without it...

having problems with the turbo touching the starter which will be dealt with by grinding the starter housing a bit..only need 2cmfor the EFR to fit, the wastegate will have to be cut and moved a bit more inside because it DOESNT fit at all...its a tight fit...thats what she said.










Here lies the problem

[pitcelica]

Aren't you able to move the wastegate bracket around the compressor housing to get some space? IIRC, BW have 15° increment holes to fix the wastegate bracket, maybe you can move it.

thanks pal yeah i thought of that but it only goes one way you cant bend the waste gate around the turbine which is the main problem right now...

[3WayStunna]

You cant just clock the turbo...i know they have a "how to" on their site on how to do it..might help give you the room you need...

[Neon90424]

There is just no way...I can move it lower but thats exactly where there is no room look at this pic...If i Could mount it somewhere else perfect but it just aint happening... the problem is because of the pre-made exhaust manifold...its not custom, and I am not going to pay 1200$ for a custom manifold..

Hi,

consider a cutom mounting plate for the actuator if possible

You can clock it and repostion the wastegate...start at page......69 (lol) and read from there...or read the whole document if you want...its worth the read....btw when you get the chance to post up dyno's please do so..would love to see the figures on that thing!

Yeah sunny Yesterday we agreed on a custom wastegate actuator bracket and cutting the actuator shorter and re welding it so that the wastegate is infront of the water nipple thing.

3waystunna: I read the manual and by clocking the turbo Its actually joined like a Vband so the WHOLE cold side of the turbo doesnt turn just the outside of it which is pretty clever but still, if you look at the picture my actuator would have to go on the other side of the turbo, and there is only 1 wastegate hole and cant be accessed from the other side..., If I had a FMIC I could just mount the turbo the other way around, hot side on the right cold on the left and no problem the wastegate would face the radiator...but i'm using the chargecooler which will also be tricky to mount since this seems to be shorter... pics and updates soon!

Hi,

it is the best way i think too

one more thing, when i did my gearbox & egnine oil radiator build i found that the position with the connectors downward is not good becouse it is not possible to get air out of the system

in your situation i would clock the radiator 180° and would route the lines through the hole next the right headlamp (away under the cooling panel, use rubbers to protect the hoses from abrasion)

another quick tip, go for a export spec gearbox radiator which is bigger and plug & play

Yeah sunny I wish I could follow your advice but I am having some fitment issues this was actually the only place I could stuff the oil cooler rad, It should flow constant pressure though shouldnt it? air should leave the system once it fills? I actually just re-read that about 4 times.... I will see what I can do...I thought you wanted the rad sideways....

Hi,

the problem is that oil is heavier against air, both connectors look down......there will be a air bubble in the rad

a friend of mine did it this way

Yeah I informed my mechanic about it and he understood right away...we are going to go behind the LEFT high beam because I dont really want to route the oil lines next to the down pipe but under the turbo, I am going to relocate the battery and mount the 2nd filter there somehow... I already bought 8 meters of 0 gauge. and audiophile terminals.

BTW I read most of the 126 pages of the EFR ( lolled at the Earth Friendly Racing [there is no such thing, we all know racing kills kittens]) and there is no way to move that wastegate where it wont bother me, I will have updates and a sore arse on monday (gotta pay the mechanic)

[Neon90424]

HELP GUYs I have a problem with my fuel system, apparently I don't get any fuel pressure, the boost gauge is stuck all the way up, the fuel pump fuse gets "stuck" which is what my mech says, injectors get no power, car starts if gas is poured into the intake.

any ideas?
