WideSam Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Looking forward to seeing those going on! Are you going to change the fuel set up at all- parallel rails etc? Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 I had planned to get parallel lines and a fpr fitted at some point mainly just to tidy things up tbh as I don't really need them for my 400bhp target . I've already deleted the purge valve ,charcoal canister and oil breather pipework to simplify things under the inlet manifold, so only have the oe series fuel line under the inlet manifold atm and no vacuum pipes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSam Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 It's nice to have that bit of extra protection with the parallel set up- it's definitely not a necessity for my 300ish, but I just like the idea. Any excuse to buy shiny things... Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Well if I get the turbo ,wheel and fuel set up I think it will be new polished ally header tank and a z32 maf conversion then that's me done under the bonnet . Well unless I give in to my brv and fit some nos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 It's taken 3 yrs, £5k ,3 scoobs ,2 engines and 1.5 gearboxes so far lol Dunno what I'll do if I ever finish it ....... Probably build another engine for when I blow this one up [emoji16] [emoji12] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Had a good grin doing rwyb at santa pod on Saturday ,nice to catch up with a few members from on here camping for japshow too but shame I missed all the rest of you on the stand Sunday I'd only ever had 2 goes at the 1/4 before and I definitely needed the practice as my best time was a 14.2 ( I didn't do the car justice) so went with the intention of try to crack the 14 second mark . 1st run I did it in 14 dead [emoji57] 2nd run i managed a 13.3[emoji4] both with 3k launches and I'm sure if I was a bit more savage with the launch / changes I'd just squeeze a sub 13 second time which would be great on the standard 21yr old/80k turbo The new parallel fuel set up, z32 maf , bigger turbo ,momo steering wheel and spec c peddle set turned up too . So quite a good weekend [emoji4] Won't be fitting any of the engine bits this side of xmas as I have to do a bit of research on compressor housings and hybrid wheels first [emoji6] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Forgot to update on here that I've changed the steering wheel over and fitted some of the spec c peddles .Also managed to drill ,tap and relocate the actuator bracket so the turbo coldside is now clocked Here's the old momo course wheel,which is up for sale (with a momo boss for direct classic fitment ) And the new momo jet steering wheel and a few of the peddles fitted Clocked coldside aps sr40 turbo Can't wait till spring to get the engine mods fitted and mapped in [emoji4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Although running the apexi boost kit add on gives the apexi fc ecu better control over the boost I still wasn't hitting the 1.58 bar target everytime in 3rd or bellow 😞 after a bit of research i decided a avcr boost controller might help as it has a gear judge function which compensates for the variations in manifold and vacumm pressure when the engines under greater loads Electrics isn't my thing to be honest but I'd managed the newage coil pack conversion and I can solder/weld . I had the wiring diagram and ecu pinout list for my version in the apexi avcr box , So i set about labeling up the wires and identifying the ecu pinouts I stripped back a bit of insulation on each wire coming off the pinouts and soldered the wires into the loom . If I didn't have the apexi fc controller I would have left it on standard "scramble " mode (0.5 bar) and let the mapper set it up to make sure the fuelling is correct before changing the boost settings 😉 The hand controller displays the boost target and duty cycle that attowe had set up so I entered the same values into the avcr and took her for a spin Boost kicked in about 400 rpm sooner but I can't get the "gear judge " function to work until I resolve the lack of speed sensor output to the ecu .I think it's something to do with a data monitor that's not fully connected under the dash . I'm getting fed up of not being able to work on the car during the bad weather but it was a whole 9 °in sunny Suffolk today . So I thought I'd offer up the parallel fuel rails and fuel lab pressure regulator Looks like I might have put the alternator in the wrong place 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 really coming along now Clive - I can see the Battery ending up in the boot though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Cheers Ant [emoji106] it's probably cost £450 and my time for the rails ,lines,fpr,inlet,paint and conversion pipes. Even if it's not running the power I'd hoped atm at least it looks pretty from a distance lol . Jay I had thought about moving the Battery to the boot but I might fit a swirl pot in there ,to stop it fuel cutting under 1/2 a tank on righthand bends . It's not that I don't trust myself with fuel lines but I'm not a fan of having them in inclosed spaces with things that can spark . Plus the Mrs would get the hump if I couldn't fit the holiday cases in the boot of my daily [emoji39] I definitely need to sort out this speed sensor output issue......cos It's starting to get a bit busy with boost sensors under the bonnet [emoji16] oe map sensor /3 port solinoid, apexi fc lead and map sensor, apexi avcr map sensor ,avcr 3 port boost solinoid but until I've fitted everything and relocated the catch can I don't know exactly where everything is going [emoji57] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 well the weathers been a bit better lately but instead of fitting some of the engine bits I thought id buy something else the front shocks were given a advisory on the mot last year and I fancied a change from the elbaich springs oe shocks and group n top mounts so I took a punt on a set of meiser r zeta coilovers I'm already running elbaich rear camber bolts and the new coilovers come with pillow ball front top mounts so I ordered some extenders to adjust the rear dampening easier and some anti corrosion spray ,when they arrived the seemed to be quite well made I knew a few members on here were considering fitting new suspension so I took quite a few pics while fitting them and will chuck a few pointers in too your probably better off to give the threads on the bolts at the bottom of the struts a wire brush a squirt of wd before you start, if the suspension doesn't look like its been off in a while . I just cracked off the wheel nuts and the top mount nuts under the bonnet first , then jacked the front of the car up and got it securely on axle stands . wheels off then used a big breaker bar ,19 mm socket and spanner to undo the bottom strut bolts but left 1 bolt in to hold it all in place next up was to disconnect the brake line ,I had already cut the bracket that holds the brake line when I fitted the front struts .As doing this means you don't have to disturb the braking system and have to re bleed it I removed the last bottom strut bolt and removed the strut from the hub, then supported the weight of the strut while I undid the top mount bolts under the bonnet so I could withdraw the complete "leg" from under the arch . of cause I took the opportunity to clean the inner strut turret while the leg was out then sprayed the coilovers in anti corrosion spray to help with my ocd . put the new coilover in position and loosely did the topmount nuts by hand I used a block of wood on a scissor jack to slowly raise the hub while I guided the coilover over it copper slipped the bolts fitted the bottom bolt first and put the top "camber" bolt in the neutral position (cam facing upwards) while the scissor jack was still in position I hand tightened the top mount bolts before using my torque wrench to tighten both lower strut bolts to 75flbs and not forgetting to secure the brake line into the bracket on the coilover rinse and repeat for the other side ,double check everything under the arches is as tight as it should be, pop both front wheels back on and slowly lower the car making sure the wheels don't hit the wings ,like mine nearly did but ill explain that after I've run through the rears next time then finally tighten the top mount securing nuts ,check the pillow ball adjusters are in the neutral position and tight along with the wheel nuts I sort out a bit of a write up on the rears next week along with a few pointers on base heights to start from when fitting this particular brand to a classic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Advisory on the fronts 😆 I like them alot might be the magpie in me coming out with all the shiny red bits, Good write up for anyone that's never attempted to change a shock beofre mate [emoji106] I'll see if we can chop bits of the thread out for the 'how to section' Least on these we don't have to ***** around compressing springs to be able to drop the shock out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Stants I agree they do look real purdy and I haven't seen any bad reviews on the meister 's yet .They seem to get better reviews after long term use than teins or b.c's . Both of those seem to crop up for sale second hand with leaks and complaints of a harsh ride . ( time will tell if they're any better or worse though) Honest they were advisorys. ..... But mainly cos I advised the mot tester that they needed changing😉 I'll try to prise the laptop of my daughters tonight and run through the rears tonight. I did consider writing a "how 2" but my spelling let's my spanner monkey skills down .so your welcome to chop n change it to make it work ,but in the meantime it will give other members a idea of what's involved when fitting them 😉 If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I'm trying to move house today so if noting gets done that's why ! I didn't even know these were available I wanted coils for mine but again due to the bad reviews on the bc's I gave up, what spring rates did you go for ?
