Mick, the fan is controlled via the ecu, you can set it at what ever temp you like.
slight update cab was off road today so my mate rang and i popped over to convert the 2.5 v band into a 3 end, took loads of grinding but got there in the end
need 2.5 welded on the front pipe now, hopefully it will line up ish
big thx to goobster for the FOC DP from the f7r
as you can see my mate got plenty of penitration
Not a bad job that. Get a die grinder on the inside welds to smooth it out a little, your want some ear defenders trust me.
was going to do this yesterday but mates is knackered tbh it looks worse than it is the v band is flat thats the main thing, loads more parts ordered so hopefully crack some more out this next coming week
did abit more last night with top lad jim, got a fair bit done but needs a new ic pipe run as old dont fit anymore, anywayz jim mounted ic and oil cooler but i had to remove ic temp as bumper wouldnt fit, needs slight modding
big shout out to say thx to jim
its getting there but we aint touched car at all for last 2 weeks
waiting on loads of hoses etc now to get more done
Come on Mick, you know the rules, it's not an update without pictures!
I would just buy a new loom to be honest, not to pricey luckly.
loads of parts arrived now goobs so ill have a pic fest this week matey, james is making the old loom look better for the moment till i see if it fires, tbh i need this dp done asap the speed james goes at i cant keep up
right got a fair bit done last night had to move ic a tad and grind bumper slighty to fit also had to re route boost run as it was to low so moved it luckily we had some spare pipe to cut up
massive thx to adey for help and james as usual still got a fair bit to do but its getting there
got a massive air filter but theres no room in the bay for it
Looking Good.
Get that rad and loom in next
thats a job for you mr sargent on weds if ya coming maybe ready for surrey meet lol, adey wants to start dp tom lol hes keen
bit of a update away atm in iow but basically ive ordered loads of parts including water and air filter pipes, james has wiring loom which he is tidying up, when back i will get on with fitting all new parts and get some pics up but basically the main jobs left to do are fit adaptronic and loom, finish water run and boost run and finish the custom dp, then the oil water etc and fore it up lol, a special thx to james5 for always helping etc
Mick, your thread is lacking pic's
A couple of the loom 1st pic untouched, 2nd pic amended removed wires not used and labelled up ready for going into car
james your a super hero
ok been busy around doing bits but managed to find some time to get some done on
mikes 5 sunday and had dp modified and welded yesterday
still a few bits to do but should be ready to fire soon
Mick looking good
thx jim still got this to do
1. fit loom
2. fit screamer/external wastegate
3. fit vacuum run
4. heat wrap and fit dp and fit a support for the exhaust front pipe
5. oil/water/antifreeze/gearbox oil
6. fit wasted spark and plug leads
that's mainly it I think
thanx again for all ya help and get better soon buddy
heat wrapped dp looks much better now
bit of a update lol
got to fit loom still but im slowly getting there, got loads of other stuff going on but would love to get it ready for pod its going to be tight thought paint going off too needs a buff
Excellent that mick. More progress than I have made
thx matt ive not spent that long on it really just abit here and there I had some help from james5 too in places, only really loom to fit and rest of water pipes which are ready to go straight on and the vacuum runs, looms really neat now too, james did most of it and ive finished it off looks like a loom now not a birds nest
hoping to get done for pod but will be very close as ive got loads of other stuff going on too
Very nice 👍
