meh, its probably worst from here. No one lives north of the watford gap, so at least he won't have traffic.

Looks ace.

Awesome stuff sir


Did you find it pretty straight forward? Any major issues?

The suspension swap was very straight forward, supercharging less so To be fiar, it all went together pretty easily, with no major headaches. Could probably do it in half the time now and didnt have any help, just plugged away and it soon all comes together.

It'll get mapped in January at the earliest. Ive got to go down for a conference then and dont have the time before that, given its about an 8000 mile drive...

Nic, where's that vacuum pipe going? If it's not attached to the servo, where is the servo getting vacuum from?

[CocoPops]

Oh yeah, does look a little odd. Where is the one way valve also?

[CocoPops]

Actually it looks like the breather pipe and vacuum pipe are the wrong way round.....

Breather pipe seems to be going to the catchtank/filter next to the header tank. Vacuum pipe routing is interesting though. Gorgeous work on the injector loom part. That looks so oem

I connected the vacuum line and one way valve up to the throttle body, the hose thats going off to the right is the fuel vent... Thought it would make for neater routing, still need to tidy it a bit more. Seems to work grand, would it be better to stick the vacuum line onto the SC itself and not the throttle body? The breather pipe is routed to a small catch tank. Fills up with condensate pretty quickly. Ive read that thats normal?

You created an entry point just before the TB for that, as i fail to see the TB itself having a connector for it?

Its the brass connector on the RHS that I used...

[CocoPops]

The brass connector on the tb is for something else. Can't remember what tho

[smiley]

That connector is on the lsj 68mm only. Capped off on mine. If your braking works fine, i guess it works though. As for hose routing; swapping brake vacuum and fuel vent would look a bit better i think.

Yeah, probo right... Still got a few odd jobs to do, like solder in the EGR cheater, so will check it all over next weekend

He doesn't use his brakes.

Ah yes, thats not quite right. SC vaccum goes to servo with a one way valve. TB goes to charchoal canister thing (fuel vent).

[JG]

btw CS blank the TB, which isn't quite as nice as the above.

[CocoPops]

I would assume that the brass inlet on the tb is pre butterfly, thus never has a vacuum? Where as the sc vacuum inlet is post butterfly, so when you let off the accelerator it generates a vacuum.

So Ive painted the hardop now and managed to get hold of an OEM spoiler. Lookin a bit sharper I sprayed a set of tubby ears whilst I was at it, but still in two minds about whether to stick em on or not!!

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]
