Did u shield the ABS unit on your setup? (assuming high mount yeah??) I am

Wondering if it's going to cause me dramas or not? And the wiring loom near the manifold is probably an issue too... PS lines? Damn heat!!!

I've seen loads of cars getting around with high mount setups that haven't shielded their ABS units... Whether that means it's not an issue or not, I don't know. Ask JEM? PS lines might be, most people seem to relocate the reservoir to the radiator. But again, that might not be a choice based on function. Surely JEM will answer all those questions?

I have some of that gold heat reflective tape I was planing on applying some to it.

But I'm hoping that a heat proof painted and wrapped dump should hopefully not be to hot ( like extreme heat) so should be able to get away with it .

As for PS lines I haven't given much thought to them , I moved the reservoir to front side of tower that's about it

The PS Rezzy will be going next to the airbox, there isnt any room for it anywhere else unfortunately.... Ill be asking them though for sure!

I want black stuff :ph34r:

I just checked the thumbnail images i had on my PC of the other cars and they both run the Rezzy where i have, so it must be OK to do.....

Updates to come in the next few days... The ECA, Wideband and boost gauges are now all wired up in the glovebox and the car is awaiting the wiring in on the Haltech PS2000.... Once this goes in they should be able to start it and begin the tuning process..... Nerves are setting in...... :ermm:

Yeh tell Adam to pull the french fry out already, we want the nugget started! :rofl2:

Hahaha :P hell yes we do!!! That reply was hilarious!!!

Kurtis34 - will get you pics etc as soon as I can... Looking forward to seeing yours too!!

No where near enough updates man, you're supposed to be keeping me motivated! :P

Any news??

Oh shiiiiii...... I thought u had given up on me :P

No real updates to give.... The man himself was in on Saturday working on my wiring :D because I have to run the PS2000 stand alone I assume it's a Huuuge job!!!

Will call for updates tomorrow and keep u motivated!! Kurtis is cruising along too so I am sure he will beat me to updates :P

And Hijack away man, be more than happy to see another local weapon ;)

Haha nahhhhhh, I let my dummy sit on the floor and get dusty for a bit, but I've picked it up again. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to keep you in the dark with what I'm planning now though, my build thread needs fresh excitement ;)

    • Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.
    • This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.
    • Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.
    • This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.
    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
