In ###### work @ 8.. Sods law!!

Hopefully get the cooling system fettled this wkend. Saying that, I think I'll be short a bit of hose to connect the heater matrix.

Got one of these..fits well and looks like I can run a pull fan

[Calos]

It's alive!!

Having whittled down & connected most of the 'loose ends' (still a couple left..any idea on the colour of the reverse light wires?) it wouldn't go pulled a plug..sparking but dry. Only had the fuel lines back to front at least the system is well pressure tested now..lol

Je-zus tho, what a lovely noise..made my ear drums tickle. Definitely won't be doing any track days ..or maybe getting an MOT

Time for the inorgaral vid ? can nip over tomorrow with the HD cam and get in 'tinterweb by lunch ?

peace

cool..thought i was in for a bit of a 'mare then

schoolboy error#3..didnt take the diagnostics connector from the Lex' (the round one 'D3'). Should still run without it though shouldnt it? Im going to source one from a breaker to wire back in..sigh

Not needed, it's just an extension from the one on the engine.

Hi Nik
lets us know when you run it up for the first time, so i can go and stand in my back garden and hear it

You don't need the fuel pump ECU, it's just something else to go wrong at an inconvenient time.
Just use a five pin relay connected as follows:
Pin. 30 > Fuel pump.
Pin. 86 > oil pressure switch on oil filter housing, just splice into the oil pressure gauge feed.
Pin. 87 > Crank signal wire @ ignition. (thin black with silver dots)
Pins. 85 & 87a > Ignition feeds.

The fuel pump will work only when you crank the engine over and the relay will switch it over to continuous running when oil pressure is sensed (oil light goes out) and will shut off if the engine stalls.

Pin. 86 can also be connected to the charge signal wire from the alternator. (charge light wire) if that makes it easier for you.



That'll be £15 please.
Any other info you need, just PM me.

Is that Inc VAT? I'll buy you a pint when me an Danny gatecrash your lexurf meet

I used a feed off the ignition to run the pump and check the system..seemed to build a lot of pressure, enough for the pump to bog down a little..I guess the fuel return isn't designed to cope with 55l/min when the engine isn't running, which makes the 5-pin a good call.

Open pipes?? 26" of cherry-bomb goodness there..gonna be a stealth warrior

[gary-r]

at £15 to wire the fuel pump i must owe you a DB9 by now

animal i think you have to make a sound video on the open pipes just for reaserch purposes.

you might get flames out of short pipes like that

[BUSHWHACKER]

I like your optimism..I'll be surprised if it runs, having said that, my relay block is clicking away in the right places..apart from the fuel pump.

I've made a few schoolboy errors to be fair..

not realising there's an ECU (which I didn't salvage) to control the fuel pump from 93- so I'll have to trigger the relay with an ignition feed..

chopped the transmission loom off the surf engine loom when I gave it to Matt, so I need to wire the 4WD switch back into the 4x4 ECU & speedo back to dash..not using the lex clocks initially

hope the garage doesn't have windows - 3000rpm and pipes like that - bye bye windows

[an1mal_69]

lol..not much of a system, but side exit yea. This is the easy option (of course!), if it's unbearably loud, I'll work on a 2 into 1 system, just want to get it out of the garage ASAP

[GBV8]

Is this a side exit system?

They won't do much silencing, you should have just painted the pipes red.
You can run the engine for about 30 secs with no coolant by the way.
