Builds Wompom's Painfully Slow Rebuild Now Part II!

[ChargedSHOTaco]

I’ve debated it. The issue with that becomes I would have built it out more if I planned to do that

Keep the boost at 7psi and think of the standalone ECU as added insurance. Someone touched on it prior, but the stock ECU does some things timing wise that I would rather not see on my boosted 1FZ.

Cerakoted all the exhaust side.
Prepping for paint on the rest

Phosphorising

Looks great, did you do the cerakote?

Yep. Used the harbor freight hvlp touch up gun with a 0.8mm tip. Came out great besides a few runs.
I should add I did follow the instructions very closely. Sand blasted with 100grit alum oxide, heated, degreased, etc.

Very nice. What kind of durability and heat tolerances do you expect? Is it as durable as powdercoating?

Cerakote I used

Should be pretty good and more durable than powder in this environment. So far feels super tough after a 48 hour cure. Fully cures in 5 days.

Primed the axles and suspension parts.
Started my steering reinforcement plates. Ran out of gas.
Started seat heater install

 

[Wompom]

Welded out the steering reinforcements
Finished seat foam and heaters
Sprayed out the axles and suspension linkage

Being able to take your time means being able to address little details like this.

105 series 4 hole injectors. Giving it a go after a rec from a trustworthy source.

 

[Wompom]

Made some EGR plates out of stainless. I thought it would be faster to do with a cutoff wheel than my plasma table. It was definitely not.

Got almost done rebuilding my rear locker. Then shattered the housing changing the shaft seal. Ordered new front and rear lockers (aisin).
Just waiting on them to assemble the diffs and build the axles.

Fresh oem bushings pressed into all the suspension arms.

 

[Wompom]

Stumbled into a new machine

Washed the housings with degreaser and water inside and out. Got a lot more blasting media than I thought would make it in. Fingers crossed I got it all.

 

[Wompom]

Doing this as my full time job til we leak for AK.

Tried mixing the green and grey cerakot together as a base for the valve cover. It ran way more than the “glacier” line I used on the exhaust. Speckled it with a few mixtures of the gray and green. Don’t love it but don’t have time to change it

 

[Wompom]

New foam and seat heat on both sides

Where the injectors come from?

Legit hammertime.

I ordered them through partsouq. Can’t buy them through Japan I learned after my first order was canceled.
I belieeeeve but could be incorrect they are out of a 105.
I’m hoping the 4 hole with help with atomization with the turbo vs the normal 2 hole.

They do the same in old school 4.0 Jeeps. And it made a difference in drive ability. I’ve been interested in something for the 1fz.
Based on part number that looks to be true.
