Post #1
It has been some time now since my attempt to go SC failed but today the post man had a very very nice surprice for me.It has been covered many times here with alot of questions and answers but i will attempt to take it for all of you step by step. Comments are always welcome.
Before i begin a few info about the engine. My beloved baby is now running on its early 40000 miles had a cam/water pump service done about a few miles ago and runs super smooth. Work so far done to it:
Ported and polished free flow head
BMC filter
Free flow custom 2.5 inch exchaust with race cat.
Custom cam reprofile
Billet steel flywheel (from Rich)
And a remap.
Dynno return 197hp on the fly (184HP at the wheels)
This is for now
So now the time has come to fit some bodies.
For my project i got a set of R1 2002 bodies from Carl (millic333) and a spare mani.
The idea is to fabricate the bodies in such way that the OEM ECU can be used. In order to do so i am using the OEM TPS ICV and MAP sensors in a way that i will describe in the following days.
First thing first. Some photos of the bodies.
To begin strip the lot down to bare metal by removing first the wirring and then the sensors. One good thing with the R1 bodies is that they use absolute pressure MAP and that can be handy
You can see the MAP bolted on the fuel rail next to the fuel pressure regulator remove the screws and take them off.
Next take the R1 TPS off
The R1 TPS axis unlike the XU10J4RS is a bit different so that one will go down to the milling machine as you will see later.
We can now remove the hoses from the bodies but keep in mind that we need these so dont brake them
Time to remove the fuel rail and the injectors
And by now we have the bare bodies
The black covers under the bodies are simmilar to the AVAC system only here they regulate the idle on tickover. Turn the bodies over undo the two screws on each cap and jently remove it. What you see inside is a rubber diaphragm that holds the regulating blade in place and a spring. Remove everything and put it on the side.
Now its time to seperate the bodies by undoing the two 10mm screws on the side. These screws run across the lenght of the bodies. Mark each one with a number before you remove so you can put them but together in the same order. Once done you have four bodies to start working with.
That is for now lads. I will continue tomorrow with more photos.
These should be finished by the end of next week so it wont take long until you have the complete how to guide.
I do hope that you will enjoy my write up and as i said before comments are more than welcome.
