Also put extensions on o2 bungs a few weeks ago.
They were sitting 10mm into the manifold and would most likely get hot as and fail pretty quick.
Welded a 10mm spacer to help a bit.

Great work mate. How close to being done is it?

Hoper · 11-10-2019, 05:13 AM

Nice

Brule · 11-11-2019, 03:48 AM

Not sure how long.
Trying to run cooler lines tonight spent 2 hours got nothing done as nothing fits easy.

Brule · 11-13-2019, 05:46 AM

Had to get new fittings for the transmission cooler.
I will get them fitted this wknd.

The driveshaft will be here next week which will be good.

Then a bit of vacuum lines, wiring and starting it up. (A bit more then that but weeks to go now not months)

Only small things to go now

With the temperature up in Darwin, it won't take long for the engine to warm up after you start it. My daughter came back from there today and said it was 39.9C at some wildlife park she was visiting yesterday.

Brule · 11-17-2019, 03:54 PM

Yea its getting hot.
You start sweating just putting your shoes on.

Brule · 11-18-2019, 02:14 AM

Cranked it a few times to get the oil going.

Put coils and lpfp fuse back in. Accidentally put it in 42 i stead of 40 its been that long.
Put it in 40 5 seconds later fired up.
It just goes for 5 seconds then shuts off.

Hooking mhd up to it now to see whats going on.

Hoper · 11-18-2019, 03:29 AM

WOW, excellent news that it started, hope you find out what's going on with it Brule

Brule · 11-18-2019, 02:04 PM

Ill start with charging the battery as it wont even let me pull tbe key out and steering locked without the jumper box.

I want to start it up before I go to work but I like my neighbours. Have to wait till this arvo.

Brule · 11-18-2019, 03:49 PM

Just has 1 code for rear 2nd o2 sensor which i just plugged until rear o2 sensor arrives.

Should be just a battery issue.

Brule · 11-19-2019, 04:02 AM

Drive shaft turned up today.
Put it straight in.
Put heat wrap on vacuum lines.

Put wastegate pipe on. Still need to tighten them.

Then I can put the exhaust on so it doesn't sound like a tractor.

Brule · 11-19-2019, 04:05 AM

Im just worried i have to get a jb4 for quick and easy boost control

Socket · 11-19-2019, 01:10 PM
