Last night I installed the RHS manifold and exhaust can for what (touch wood) should be the last time before the car is shaken down.
Some gratuitous engine install pics:
In terms of what is still do do before I can fire up the engine:
- Fill with oil (Shell Helix 5w40 ordered and en-route)
- Install final coolant hose (currently being welded), fill coolant.
- Create engine wiring loom - coils, crank position sensor, cam position sensor, oil pressure sensor, oil temperature sensor, coolant temperature sensor/s, TPS, air temperature sensor, connect injector looms.
- Install battery and main power to engine loom.
- Create loom for fuel pump driver module, power to fuel pump, fuel pressure sensor feedback to ECU.
- Create loom for EWP control from ECU.
- Create loom for Cosworth Omega dash, so all ECU outputs can be displayed.
So quite a bit still to do! Whether I complete all this myself is still a bit up in the air. I might do as much as I feel comfortable with, stuff like the coil looms etc is pretty straightforward. In the meantime I'll continue with the rest of the car, the plan being that I can get it in a rolling chassis state in case I need to take it out to a specialist for the remainder of the wiring and then mapping.
Stay tuned! :)
