gary88ross Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Ok thats perfect going to paint inlet in next few days got to strip yours looks same inlet was it easy enough to strip looks like theres a lot to take off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Yeah loads of vacuum and petrol pipes , sensors ect bit of a mare tbo . If you wasn't so far away you could have one of the spare v3 inlets I've got to paint then clean / paint and switch the bits over . just take loads of pics beforehand and use new gaskets on assembly , you'll be fine fella 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary88ross Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Cheers does look quite a challenge might look for a spare sounds easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Made a start fitting the hdi fmic as you can see there's quite a size difference One of it in situ didn't manage to get it all back together , but here's one of how I left her looking all sorry for itself lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary88ross Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 That's well smart are u selling your old sti one Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yeah I'll be selling my sti tmic for about £ 40 + p&p , but cos its for a v3 I'd make sure it will fit your phase 2 inlet cos v3 should be phase 1.5 and the recirculation valve sits in a different place compared to phase 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary88ross Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Ok will look into it Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary88ross Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Don't think it will fit do u think I should remove my fuel rails before painting or tape holes up and paint it Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 I personally prefer to completely strip anything I paint and use plenty off pannel wipe between coats or after sanding.As any small amount of contaminant (oil, grease ect...) can cause a reaction with the paint . The injectors need to seal into the base of the inlet holes as well as the fuel rails ,so plug em with blue tack or play dough if you do strip the rails off ;-) How are you going to get the v5/6 engine running in the v3 Shell ? Is it just a case of using the v5/6 engine auxiliaries ,engine loom ,intercooler and inlet pipework ect and plugging it into the v3 loom /ecu . I know a bit about v1to v4 and know that the later ecu's can't be fitted to them without a loom change and I'm just curious as I don't know a great deal about electrics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary88ross Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Ok thanks and I haven't got a clue he's helping me put it all in will it not work with v3 bottem and v5 heads and inlet Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Any 2ltr heads (including avcs) will fit any 2ltr bottom end , but I've only ever seen people use the same version inlet as the car (apart from reversed inlet set ups ) Mechanically it will fit no probs I just know there's a few differences and don't know enough about them to advise you with the electric compatibility issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary88ross Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Ok thanks spoke to him he says it's ver5 engine phase2 and Shell is same not a ver3 so all sorted lol he's got bits everywhere doesn't no what's what is the ver5 sti a good engine Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 gary a good uk turbo engine would push enough power to break any standard classic drivetrain so unless your aiming for 350 hp + it doesn't really matter to much if it has sti cams and pistons ( if it isn't a sti the insurance would be a bit cheaper anyways) as for my project my ocd got the better of me again and I had booked the day off work so I removed the bumper and fettled :) I wasn't to happy with the height of the intercooler and dropped it 25mm on some spacers ,re routed the fuel lines , made some temporary pipework up for the recirc (which whistles a bit at 1 bar ) and relocated my fuel pressure reg pics to follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Painted my rusty blue bracket ;-)I'll get some mesh made up to cover the intercooler eventually but for now I managed to trim and re fit the old lower grill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Cheers gary , will admit it's not as mint close up lol well I suppose it has done 3k miles now . doesn't leak any oil or water but having a scoop seems to chuck a lotta !Removed! over yer shiny bits :-) This arrived friday a divorced wastegate cusco decat with egt sensor :-) Guess I'd better get some heat wrap and gaskets on order ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Very nice. And I agree best the get them ordered :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Quite a productive weekend for me again gave the decat a clean up and wrapped the top section with some heat wrap .which is made from the itch'iest stuff know to man :-( As I had to handle it a lot due to not adjusting the top mounting bracket before I wrapped it , to allow for the extra size of the 6 speed gearbox . Ideally due to running maffless I needed a intake temperature sensor so the mapper can trim the fuel finer because he has a reading of the temperature/ density on the incoming air . I fitted it to the fmic pipework just before the throttle body . also relocated my adjustable fuel pressure regulator as it was cable tied due to being fitted to the tmic I used to run . you can see them both in this pic Although I'll be running off boost again :'( my last test for boost leaks I had I slight whistle @1 bar and had tracked it down to the temporary recirculation pipework I had made to get the car up and running . so I cut a ally elbow off my spare uk turbo tmic and made a hard pipe elbow which don't look to pretty but she now boosts to 1.4 bar and holds it :-) just need simon @ JGM to work his magic should be at the end of the month cos he's proppa busy mapping a few time attack/race cars . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 thats a nice bit of boost you have there - interested to see the post JGM figures :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Both my previous remaps were done on the road and the last one wasn't to much fun as simon recons I was running about 340 hp ,we'll definitely enough to break the 5 speed 2 days later .after about the tenth full throttle run in short period my kevlar pads we're starting to fade a bit and the traffic was getting a bit heavier and scoob a bit faster ;-) Anyways I had a rolling road shortly afterwards and only showed 294 /270 @ 20 psi (1.37 bar) turned out not been running the full new map ( a mixture of two maps instead) as my alarm system had kept cutting the power to the ecu during the transfer of simons box breaking map So in short once simon unplugged his lap top I'd reverted back to a hybrid map , which simon then came back and tweeked the map for free on the road to make sure I was running safely . im unsure what power I've been running but do know once it's mapped the tdo5 will be the only thing stopping me breaking the 350 barrier cos everything else (clutch , box, injectors ect ) is good for 420 ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Well the mapping saga continues :'( Tried to road map it this morning but had to abort due to the rain causing the tyres to light up in 4 th . Drove to attowes rolling road in Norwich managed to get 320 hp before the walbro run outta puff . so I now need a rcm pump fitted before I can get any more out of it . on the up side at least my new brake pads and billet ally rear 2 pot conversion brackets have turned up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 so close so close - you are doing well to hold any frustration I woudl be haveing a right Arrrrrrrrgggghhh moment now, so close to the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Shame about the rain and the series of events after :( But as Jay said not far away now theres always a positive :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah just want it running at it's best but ,the fuelling was all over the place and all 3 mappers that have worked on my scoob are good at what they do .it might have been the pump all along as I've done a bit of research and some recently fitted walbro pumps have been failing :'( Ordered a rcm pump and new fuel filter this evening , just unsure when I'll find the time to squeeze another mapping sesion in . hopefully find time to fit these over the bank holiday weekend well chuffed with A.S performance's service and advice regarding the billet ally black anodised brackets and pagid pad set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
