did a bit today.

it always annoys me how time gets eaten up by nothing. all i did today was cut 2 busa spindles in half, face them off, machine a plug to go in the middle, weld them together and put the wheel back on.

and suddenly 2 hours was gone.

bov welded onto the end of the plenum

piping from the turbo to the plenum is finished.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/p180x540/10881593_10152576858918365_3066823272598317240_n.jpg?oh=f899dbed1c6b47d8826d8591eede8ae1&oe=553F5869&__gda__=1429651327_afde39d492c1b6ea7789d1782f7e5a19

i'm not particularly happy with the plenum, its a bit wanky compared to the quality of the headers. it'll do for now, but i'd like to make a better one with some laminova interycooler things in it.

i can probably do another one which extends backwards between the two frame rails to house the intercooler and bring the boost pipe up through the subframe.


instant battery box, just add weld

gonna prep the throttle bodies (plug + epoxy the secondary butterfly shaft holes) and machine the inlet 'rubbers' for the nitrous foggers tomorrow.

its pretty much ready to fire up again, bar strapping the plenum and tb's to the head.

it was bugging me how to seal the tb's to the inlet stubs and then the plenum to the tb's.

decided to cut down on one leak path by welding the tb's to the stubs.

then the plenum can be anchored to the tb's ( which have lots of threaded holes and stuff.

tb's were proper minging to weld, not sure what there actually made of but i dont think its designed to be welded to.


stubs on a spare head

https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/l/t1.0-9/p180x540/10689500_10152599061853365_840156415059262298_n.jpg?oh=83dfe46e2b0aceaa59c5c08b5e0493a4&oe=556D44D9


welded on and fuel rail fitted to check everything is still square and spaced properly

https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/10933874_10152599061868365_6891189902397879478_n.jpg?oh=17f5506dba18b2f780f504e0996b1253&oe=55352BA3



top tie rods, will be another two on each end at the bottom

yes. they pull the plenum up against the tb's ( sealed with o rings ) to prevent the boost popping it off.

brake caliper fitted up, new pads and bled.

it operates through the front brake lever for the moment, just to give me a brake that's easy to use.

https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/10942448_10152623133178365_1012982554889510069_n.jpg?oh=27af85b5217c56b8437d493e97b637de&oe=5569AAF8


i spent the afternoon trying to get it to run, the microsquirt is being a full on bellend for some reason, ive swapped from speed density to alpha-n with multiplicative map for boost. it fires up for a split second then dies. i think its something to do with the various enrichment options but i gave up today after it backfired and undid the sprag clutch bolt.

https://youtu.be/F-46ZNdf-iQ


for anyone who's interested why it wouldn't work;

with the microsquirt all the enrichment options are multiplicative % so if you set 20% @ 10 deg.c afterstart enrichment for 300 cycles, you get the req fuel value * the ve table value * warmup value * 1.2 for 300 cycles, then it just goes back to req * ve * warmup


except the warmup enrichment is on a different scale, on the warmup table, 100% is "do nothing" and 0% is the equivalent of sticking -100% in any of the other enrichment tables.

so i thought i was making it simpler by ignoring afterstart and warmup by sticking 0% in all the cells. which was basically making it * all the fuel values by 0.

when i put 100% for all the values in the warmup table it started working again.
