7 porter progress, Engine build Number....seven?? ....now K1200
Turbo Mini Forums

Done a bit more today,

trimed up the flanges on the runners and welded them into the plenum backplate, was having big problems until i realised the footpedal on my tig isn't working properly, i'm only getting about 50A flat out so couldn't get enough heat into the plate, so just used the torch trigger in the end, an extra 100A made much lighter work of it!! shame i didn't work out the problem was the foot pedal when i was doing the other bits.

after that i tigged on the stub stacks.







after that i was just about out of gas so had to leave it there.

Cheers Vegar,

Sorted out the hall effect sensor mount for the crank damper today, I did a quick one before, but forgot about the rad being in the way because the S damper is further out than a Std one so this is the Mk 2 attempt!!







and fitted.....







Came out not to bad, a bit over kill, but i like stuff sturdy!

Looks proper and ment to be that.!

Which is always a good sign thats its going to do the job.

Keep up the good work. And its nice to see everything in pics to.

I drill holes in everything..!

Right, after considerable slacking recently i'm about to push on with this, I had come to a bit of a dead end due to not quite being able to fit the fuel rail under the bonnet, I remember Dars also had this problem with his so my solution may be of use to him also.

I have bought a set of short Pico injectors, IWP069's which are rated at 490cc/min or about 300 hp, They are roughly an inch shorter than a std injector!!

These together with a new set of injector bosses and some fuel rail mods will give me that extra bit of clearance i've been struggling to find.





So now i have the injectors a can knock up the new bosses and sort the fuel rail proper, so i'll have some pics of this soon.

Also on a spending spree i bought an ally rad (it was the right price) so heres some pics of that, interestingly it has one big core kind of taking the theory behind the 2 core rads a bit further.

Oh also regarding the injectors, smaller ones can be found in a number of fiats (Brava's, barachetta's, belingos ect) and in some bikes. but i went for some after market ones.

hopefully heres the datasheets.

My CBR 600 injectors are pico versions too, just not too sure on the flow rates?

J

I can't help with the CBR injectors but i do have a PDF with what injectors are used in what model car covering itallian cars.

2,642KB though so I won't post it.

have you got somewhere you can morror it off?

If not psot it to me scirocco_turbo@hotmail.com and I'll host it for you and post up a link.

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

I'll email it over when i get home from work, it lists all the electrical engine parts also, coils sensors ect.

good work, keep us posted! what ECU will you be running?

Megasquirt,

Have had that working on the kitchen table already hope to run the MS2 extra code. Will use an LC-1 too.

Looks like I have finally got the fuel rail sorted!!

I've cut the injector bungs off 3 times now and done 2 fuel rails LOL! means the weldings a bit ropey but not too bad considering i'd never used a tig until i started this!

it all screws together and misses the bonnet reinforcing struts by a good 1/2" now, all thanks to the TINY!! pico injectors. Glad this bits finally out of the way. Next job is to duct the 4 runners in and make the flange for the vauxhall throttle body. that bit'll be much easier.








Managed to get a clearence pic with the bonnet shut too...

Looking really good there bud

thats looking like a good tidy solution!

keep up the good work

well i don't know about looking good or being tidy....

but it should work and if it does i'll be happy!

Looking like a nice setup that!

Have you managed to source the correct length sparkplugs yet.?

Also I had a good look at head at MINISPIT the other day, and they look like they almost run horizontal into the chambers to.

Very interested in seeing it come together.

Si

I drill holes in everything..!

I want a 7 port...... a boy can dream....

have a look at plugs for a mondeo V6, tere really long in the thread.

turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Denis O'Brien.

The mondo plugs are 14mm thread, i need 10mm,

started to cover the front in today, have attatched the main 3.5" plenum pipe, after checking it clears everything.

I love these clearance shots, what set the timer on the camera then slam the bonnet down quickly?

No it's a camera phone, if you look you'll notice there's no grill, wedged my arm in and pressed the button, bit of a squeeze with those spots in the way!

Beats using bits of blue tac and seeing if it gets squished by the bonnet.
