Got my coolant adapters for the turbo

Old fittings

New Fittings

Thread is m14x1.5

Now onto the "Cooling issue/not issue" if you can been following Big Rons thread... This is what me and Mike have come up with...

Dewis Inlet with coolant feed marked out, you can see it has vent to header tank but nothing from 3 way pipe at the back of the engine

Standard Inlet

The Standard inlet manifold has a feed from the 3 way pipe with internal bore of roughly 25mm and the feed to the head has a width of 20mm.

First off was to make an adapter to go from the 3 way pipe, internal diameter of 26mm. We used a Barbed 1" adapter (external diameter of 25mm) which was braised onto a 1/2" barbed adapter (external diameter of 13mm) The reason this step was used will come clear soon...

Adapter that was made

Then to keep inside the 20mm hole in the head we used a 3/8 BSP parallel thread to 1/2" barbed fitting which uses an outside diameter of 17mm (thread end) the next size up was 21mm which would be to big for the port in the head.

Adapter with dowty washer

Drill and tap the inlet with 3/8 BSP thread

Fitted

Check fitment with inlet gasket

Adapter in

Trial fit inlet with joining hose

With joining hose fitted

From underneath the inlet

Now I know its still slightly more restrictive over the standard feed but some people arn't having issues without them, So IMO anything is better than nothing. There is still room to drill the adapters out internally aswell.

Prepping for paint

Had more time on him recently..

Got some more fuel bits through

Then I shot blasted the removable front panel

All primed up

Primed the front panel

Inlet runners primed

All painted

Connect under inlet for vacuum lines, air temp sensor and vacuum for servo

Inside inlet

New adapter for fuel rail need to machine down the new ones slightly

Next to mount the fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor (Left fuel & Right Oil)

Route from regulator

Next was to modify the top of the tank, I epically ****ed my first one my trying to use weld on boss's....

So plan "B"

New part

Remove the connections

-6 through body connection with dowty washer top and bottom

Barbed connections for hoses inside tank

Fuel system mock finished

Then remove it all and fit carpet and cut away

Thats all for now
