Mon and Wed updates

Its been a pretty busy week so far.

  • Primed and painted the firewall braces.
  • Shortened the fuel rail return hose to the FPR
  • Re-installed the fuel pressure gauge sender (I still need a hole plug for the FPR gauge port that is unused)
  • Finished the cold side charge pipe – cut out the hole for the BOV (I always cut and port them after welding) and beaded the ends.
  • Installed the BOV and the vaccum line (complete with a nice Oettiker clamp)
  • IMG_2493
  • Removed, welded shut, and ground smooth a notch in the valve cover – previously there for TB clearance on the old setup
  • Also cleaned up the welds on the valve cover, repainted it and drilled holes for the press in studs (to mount the coils assembly onto)

  • Finished up the Megasquirt mods. Added a peak and hold driver board for the injectors and a coil driver board inside the top cover. To make more room for the boards and two new connectors for Spark and Fuel I extended the sides and ends of the case. Also added functionality for boost control, IAC drive, and launch/flat shift control.

  • Painted and installed the firewall blockoff / wire connector bulkhead panel. I used some foam gasket tape around the edges so it can be removed easily and still seal.
  • Re-routed the wiper motor wires to the new bulkhead connector
  • Finished removing the leftover HVAC blower wiring
  • Installed the main Megasquirt engine harness and the coil and injector harnesses.
  • Re-routed the boost gauge tube to the new bulkhead area. I still need to install the bulkhead feed-thru fitting.

I think that is it for this week so far. I’m sure I forgot something. I shouldnt skip an update.
