Josh K. Posted November 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Pulley is still too big. I could use it but why not make another one..... RevE. Finished the fuel rail. Going to send out this week for yellow zinc plating: 3 Quote Link to comment
f1ndM3aTaco Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 You sir are a champ thank you for sticking to this and not giving up. Just spent the past 2 hours reading this whole thread. Your skills are more than impressive. Carry on good sir. Carry on. 1 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Thank you for the kind words :) I cleaned the shop this weekend.... couldn't work until I did. Stayed late at work and made up the threaded mounts for my fuel line clamps. Will weld them to the floor next. No screws poking through the floors.... 3 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 That is a great idea. :cool: lol at the next gen pulley, always pushing the envelope :D 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Yeah, that's a great idea. It's nice to see peoples' great ideas...so maybe in 30 years I can implement them on my own build. That is, if I can still function and haven't developed altzheimers... 1 Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Thanks guys :) Need..... to..... work.... on.... car............ Baby duty this weekend so momma can do some contract work. Couple weeks ago I replaced the rear passenger wheel bearing on the S4. Appears the driver side was worse.... Replacing that one this week. A little tip for tough to press out bearing races. Use a MIG welder and weld a bead around the inside of the bearing race. After cooling the weld shrinks and shrinks the race with it and it will press right out. Works like a charm. 3 Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I couldn't get mine out with a 8ton press. After two beads it barely took any handle pressure to push it out... As she sits...... Don't know if I showed the fuel filter location. Still need to shorten and rethread the 90deg fittings so they'll sink in farther and not poke so much... Right side will go under the manifold and connect to the fuel rail with a soft line. 4 Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I've struggled with how/if I'm going to trunk mount the battery. I really dislike the long power cable either under the car or through the passenger compartment. I finally decided I'm going to mount one of these http://www.odysseybatteries.com/batteries/pc680.htminside the glove box. I already have one of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000Y87SEE/ref=aw_wl_ov_dp_1_1?colid=C58OIKUVFUK6&coliid=I3EGTJPM4U96Y5 to get though the firewall. 1 Quote Link to comment

jeph Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 nice ive ran those batterys on a few hondas i have wire tucked, they also sell this tray. http://www.jhpusa.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=6395&idcategory=128 And then you can mount it anywhere and it holds it secure.

Josh K. Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Thanks guys. It's been a long road but that first time I pull her out of the shop under her own power it's gonna be glorious :) Jeph. Odyssey makes a nice steel one also. http://www.odysseybatteries.com/accessories/hdw680.htm Looks nice but I think I'll make my own to save money.... :) 1 Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Started running brake line from rear to front. 2 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Made some clips to secure the brake line and ran it all the way forward. Still need to secure it up front. Got the flared fuel lines back. Those are done. Now just need to make up the stainless braided Teflon hoses to connect to the fuel rail and fpr. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 This thing is really coming together! 1 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hey Jeff! Gotta tackle things in 3hr increments. Slowly but surely. Once I get the soft lines made I can focus on finishing all the pieces and start doing final assembly! Its all gravy from here as all systems are done or finalized in my head. Big parts are finish weld out on turbo manifold, weld out exhaust and machine the new water pump pulley. All else is just a matter of time... Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Motor back in... Lots of clearance. Final stretch of soft lines are ready for mockup. Little tight over here.... Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Thats real tight, might need a big heat shield I've that master. Quote Link to comment
