haha, I'm looking forward to seeing that dash unit complete. The inside is going to look like the interior of the back to the future delorean at this rate!

What is the nos set up going to be running, 50 shot?

el_bandido What is the nos set up going to be running, 50 shot?

the jets are rated for 150, but I'm not using it top end, I'm going to get it mapped as an antilag type system so probaly only in use between 2.5 and 4k and the solenoids will be pulsed to control it.

Christ, it's going to be rapid!

Have you told the insurance company about the nos yet? Seems to be a premium killer.

No not yet but with all the other mods I have I'm hoping it's not too much extra.

Stav - what injectors are you using? Edit: and what fuel pressure are you running?


Little write up on the evolution of my car - Sparkystav - 24-12-2020

Fuel injectors are power enterprise 550cc. I'm running 3.5bar pressure same as standard. But the rising rate FPR will be mapped in next time.

Right a little update for this week,

I did some hidden jobs, like tidy up the water injection wiring in the boot, and rerun the rear speaker wires with some better stuff.

I also finished the boot strip, I wrapped it in the end as I fell out with it when spraying lol. looks a lot better without the keyhole though.

I did some more welding, this was all that's left of the wiring loom in the engine bay:

So I covered it:

Started welding in the panel that the multiplug will come through, have to do this a bit at a time though so I don't set the sound deadening inside the car alight lol

Also started some headlight rear covers to hide that wiring:

Unfortunately my welder is playing up and not feeding cleanly so the weldingis worse than usual. I've sent the welder off for a service so will redo the welding when its back.
They should look good once finished and filled though.


Fitted my new overflow tank in its hidden place:

Just need to bolt it down and put a level sensor in it.

The reason I've mounted It there is that the new radiator I'm fitting is a sealed unit with a cap, so I'm fitting this at the back of the engine:

Basically it's from a motorbike but is the highest point of the engine so will work perfectly, then any water the cap releases goes into the overflow tank, then is sucked back into the system when it cools down.

Also fitted a trick new toy lol

Think it was Grinch who had these last year and I loved them

Also got a shiny new inlet pipe to replace the old one:

And a new tool box! (well new to me!)
[Image: 9ab7f4ed3f8d37c42c06353ff2ef85ba_zpse691d521.jpg]

Also finished all nitrous pipework and engine wiring so that's ready to go back in as soon as the engine bay is ready.

That's it for this week!
