Awesome updates. Really excited about this build. I’ve always wanted to mount a m62 supercharger clutched
Thanks! Slowly but surely this thing is coming together. An M62 charger would actually work a bit better than the SC14, they're a bit smaller and more efficient from memory.
Progress this week:
- the gearbox mount inserts turned up! I actually ordered these at the same time as the engine inserts but they'd been on back order for a few months. Big thanks to Tony at AWR for sorting these.
- Took
@323's advice and made a backing plate for the engine mount to help keep the inserts in place
- Unfortunately the wiring spaghetti monster has grown! This should be everything that's needed to get the car running.
- Made up a mount for the Microsquirt fuse box and relays. They should be easily accessible for troubleshooting. It sits behind the little kick panel on the center console and it gives me something to aim the wiring at. I've done the power and ground circuits, next is sensors, then outputs, etc
Questions!
- It seems like a good idea to upgrade the fuel pump while I'm at it, any recommendations or specs that work for these cars?
- The microsquirt does batch injector sequencing, there's 2 outputs for 4 injectors. I'm thinking that the best way to pair cylinders will be the same as the ignition (1&4, 2&3) or is it paired like the injector colours (1&2, 3&4) can someone sanity check that?
Next up:
- more wiring (Yaaaaay)
- figure out vacuum lines for the MAP sensor and BOV
- weld the O2 bung in to the header
