Things are starting to roll again with this car... Tackled the fuel lines, and for the sake of convenience in trying to mate-up the factor hard lines, a beefy aeromotive fuel filter, SARD FPR and the factory fuel rail I just went with quality 8mm (5/16") biofuel-rated hose. Few speedflow fittings later and it was sorted. I looked into the sausage-style fuel filters and they were too long and hard to fit in the engine bay. Too much effort trying to mount it under the car too, so settled for the can-style with a 10 micron filter. Its a big bastard so was fiddly making up a mount for it.
Then it was off to Havoc Fabrication, who did a good job of sorting a lot of the remaining To Do List.
Distributor delete cover:
Catch can (still need to make up the hoses)
Intake pipe. GTX28 compressor is 80mm, dodges the radiator hose then goes to 4". Apparently had good results with that el cheapo pod filter and 4" to 3" pipe. I dunno, we'll see how it goes.
Mounted fuel pressure sensor to the SARD fuel regulator, had to tap out a brass fitting I sourced from Pirtek. Hopefully no leaks! Mounted to the firewall.
and this is where we're up to now. just missing catch can hoses then engine bay is done.
I damaged all the rubber ends on the CDI pencil coils while doing test fits and then the rubber ends getting trapped in the spark plug well. Grabbed some rubber ends from a wrecked SSS and have glued them onto the coils. Used like an epoxy super glue or something, should do fine hopefully.
New intercooler piping dodges the tow hook a lot better than the old one (once tightened it doesnt touch the piping), but ideally i would like the hook to poke out infront of the bumper. I haven't really looked at whats available on ebay to fit hondas and what not just yet. I suspect the current one fitted is off an N14 as the N15 hooks dont have the bend in it.
Finally I had some chrome-orange indicator bulbs lying around so chucked them in. yay no more orange.
