i have an idea for your water bottle sensor.......when you see a puddle on the floor its full

Little write up on the evolution of my car - Sparkystav - 09-12-2019

Lol but having a sensor is just way more cooler

Yes and you will also know when to refil it...I was thinking to fit at the same place the bottle of the water injection. I also need to get a level sensor...

I've bought a 5l metal tank for the WI. Going to mount it in the boot

Unless you remove the standard water bottle you won't have space where I've mounted that one.

Aha, what about the other side of the bumper? I think there is a good space there to fit the bottle. I also thought the boot, but i have not found a good place to mount the bottle. It will be a good idea if you post some pics of your WI installation to give some ideas.

I thought about that but got the alarm siren and if I need to fit a decent sized tank, pump, and other bits they wont all fit.

I'm Going to follow Jims installation, pump under the carpet in the corner and the tank on top fitted nicely in the corner.
Will post some pics another time.

Few more pics:

Engine bays nearly done, its not perfect but its good enough

Engines nearly built as well, just need to check all the shim spacings before putting the cam covers on.

Also in order to fit the new manifold im having to move the alternator so its not in the way. I had already made the decision to remove Aircon for 2 reasons - save power, and the pipes just mess up the engine bay lol.

So the brackets nearly done just need some thinner aluminium so it lines up perfectly.

def feel like im getting somewhere now.
