I'll catch up with the engine builder and get the ARP rod bolts part No, but remember these are to suit a Jaguar con rod not a 2F.

Now I had a look at a few options around for filling the the EGR hole on the headers and elected to us a 3/4 BSP Plug in Stainless Steel as this was the easiest for me.

So the metric hole was re tapped with no drilling required to 3/4 BSP and a plug fitted and stud locked.

The plugs are a stock item at most pneumatic outlets who deal with galvanized pipe, or a good plumbers merchant.

Well did a little more today and came across a surprise, the heat shields off the 3F-E headers I thought were some kind of fiberglass or moulded plastic but actually they are two layers of thin metal pressed and folded together.

So rather than just washing off the mud and giving them a good scrub I popped into work and shot blasted them clean.

Now the question is will these give me any benefit if i have them ceramic coated along with the headers or will a coat of heat proof paint do just as well.

Well ever since I rebuilt my 40 after this in early 2006

With this from eBay

Back to this

I have had this hole from the PO, in which resided a vacuum gauge to show how economically you are driving. Now come on we all know this is a total waste of time, it's a 40 and the only way it's going to be anymore economical it to make it lighter. So I did and through the gauge out
The old air filter and snorkel left a hole which lent it's self perfectly to the twin battery isolator switch in red. (comp requirement)

The ash tray and radio hole became

Well for just over a year now I have had this annoying hole just above the head light switch Well guess what I found a use for the hole

Now I have only to fit and connect the turbo and find a use for the long range fuel tank hole.

All quite when I got home for work this morning

Sprayed the Heat shields yesterday for the headers

Paint has to cure in an oven for best results

Windows are now wide open hmmmmm this stuff stinks

I think I'll stack the dish washer

Might be in trouble this time.

 

[matt.mcinnes]

Injectors are in bound from TLF $335US Plus shipping

http://stores.ebay.com/TLFperformanceparts


Flow rates for these are 550cc plenty for what I need

Headers will be back next week, Time to start saving for the Turbo and ECU

 

[matt.mcinnes]

Well the headers are back

But so bling are they i elected to put the heat shields on so not to hurt your eyes



Now your eyes have adjusted

Might have to get some shinny anodized bolts to replace the old heat shield ones

400 hp??

You really need to dyno this thing..

Oh we will we this thead started with a Dyno read out and this is where this thread will finish

The Engine may make 400hp and be the most powerful 2F know to man but it is far more likely we will run a little less boost. It needs to be reliable at comp as well as powerful.

At first glance they looked slightly different but they are a perfect fit.



You can see here why they deliver a little more fuel



Fuel rail now complete

Connector on the injector looks different. Are you modifying the harness?

Might be right there but no great stress harness will be custom anyways

Edit

Just had a quick search and it looks as if there are two types of clip low and high impedence. Mine been one type, both Genuine Toyota though so thats cool well spotted though.

Called in at the engine builders today to cough up some $ as we now start work on the block while I save for the ECU and Turbo.

Have also asked for the part No's for the ARP rod bolts and the final choice of valve springs (these were not what was originally quoted on page 3 VS677) as they did not have enough lift for our application. As soon as I get the info I'll post it up. Have also asked Colin to photograph the work to the block if he does not mind again as he did with the head.

 

[matt.mcinnes]

Well the heads all but complete the inlet manifold now hold the new 550cc injectors and the headers have their ceramic coating.

All torqued down to toyota Specs.

Time for a little help from you guys

The 3FE I picked up was already in bits hose cut and so on, it had basically been hacked out by the PO

1st up is the brake booster vacuum hose, where is this feed from?

2nd There is a hose that feeds in just below the cold start injector, what is this?

3rd The fuel rail has a pressure regulator but where does the vacuum hose come from?

That will do for starters

1st up is the brake booster vacuum hose, where is this feed from?

A: Brake booster is fed from a port on the rear side of the plenum. There are two ports back there. The booster hose comes off the larger.

2nd There is a hose that feeds in just below the cold start injector, what is this?

A: The port at the base of the cold start is for the PCV. It runs from the PCV to a rubber hose, to a steel hose, into another rubber hose, into that port.

3rd The fuel rail has a pressure regulator but where does the vacuum hose come from?

A: It travels from the VSV on the fender, into a tangle of steel lines, to the regulator. Since I desmoged I dumped the tangle of steel lines and routed directly from the two-way port on the left side of the plenum.

Two pics attached. One showing the booster hose and the PCV routing. The second showing how I dealt with the fuel pressure regulator.

Many thanks Pappy for the very helpful photos

Only one I'm not sure about is the Vacuum to the VSV and then to the regulator with my system been positive pressure at times, I may look at an alternative to having it there at all and do away with all the vacuum system. But for now at least I know where it goes, the VSV switch was damaged along with all the others when the PO removed the engine. So if I do need one I'll have to order it.

TKS again for another piece in the puzzle

I would just hook it up. Looking at the documentation it appears it might not matter since it helps with warm starts. See attachment.

Good tech.... Nice buildup

Well its taken just over 2 years but finally got around to re mounting the Magellan sat nav. It used to sit bolted to the glove box cover but my navi at comps is a pussy and wanted a Jesus bar instead

So while the block is under way I thought I would get it out of he way.

Just squeezes in nicely without affecting the gear selection.
