Alright buddy got this pump from the states it comes with a weld on flange which mounts to the end tank of the rad.
I maybe wrong but is that a Gordini engine in there

850cc injectors The fuel pump is inside the tank in a custom swirl pot and is a bosch o44 you like asking the odd question?

Yeah I do like asking random questions
that'll be fun to map! I was down to 1/100th's of a millisecond increments mapping the idle and low load of 2.5L engine last week using 440cc injectors, my 1800cc is twitchy with 500cc, a 1500cc will be very twitch with 850cc.New poster! (less than 10 posts)

Only going by what Ive been told by the mapper he said 750cc to 850cc
I think Scoff mentioned 1500cc above!
danny, thats enough injector for 500hp
Weird, you would hope a mapper would know about sizing injectors

My engine is a 1600cc
Danny great looking project, I love threads like this, we need more of them on here
Bet it wont take long to get to 20 pages!!
How long have you been working on this? and how long do you think its gong to be before its running?
There are other options other than the big slow reacting Bosch type injectors! You can get big flow Pico's which are much faster.
looking ace m8wondered where youve been Danny not seen much from your car progress in a while , get a set of itb's on it
you no you want to
Have you set a completion date or is it a case its finished when its finished ?
looking forward to seeing it fully assembled and running
picos ftw and the price of them in the states is quite good even with the exchange rates

Ive been working on the 5 for about 3 years,Im hoping to have it finished for the summer.To speed up fabrication Ive got a second 5 with a gordini head on it which is having the manifold,rad,intercooler and pipe run fabricated on. The guy who is mapping my car is Tweeny Rob who worked for Perfect Touch.
Danny, the fabrication looks ****ing awesome mate, good work!
I remember speaking to you at Trax 07, **** me, that was ages ago LOL
Still planning on those cheeky 'wheely bars' for the rear of the car ?!
ive seen a tweeny bob liner hitting the strip, man that thing was insain
Traction bars if they work on civics in the states might be worth a try
very nice
those injectors do sound very big for 1600cc, might idle a bit lumpy, all the cossie boys run seimens injectors, and some of them with autronic ecu to,
seimens have a better flow, spray pattern and faster reactions over old bosch gear, and they are the same price to.
better spray pattern, as in nice and wide for a 16V engine?
Whats your thoughts on injector size and type ?
Good to see it's still coming along mate
TweenieRob is a good lad. Met him a few times when he was at P.T, and seemed to know his salts. One of my mates had his 32 Skyline worked on at the start of this year by him, and was chuffed to bits with the finished article, although he wasn't too impressed when the fuel hose nearly popped off at a Spa trackday...but that's another story
850cc is surely gonna give a v low duty/be o.t.t for its application? I'm only running 780's (@ 3bar base fuel) in the heave ho, and that gives mid-high 70's duty (thus, still plenty of headroom), running mid 11's afr, on a maxed out E9gt blower.
I'm sure he knows the bobby though.
Look forward to seeing the car on the roads/track next year...hopefully!
Been a while Dan. Have you got all the proper engine in now? It looks it. Might have to pop down when you're about and have a look at the car again. Not seen you since we picked up the manifold/exhaust.
What make is ya wstegate?
It's a Tial one.
My new GAZ shocks with remote reservoirs
i've just wee'd...
i didnt think peeps rated the gaz shocks surprised youve not went and got a set of ledas custom built for your project? i guess cost will have played a big part in what brand to go for ?My new GAZ shocks with remote reservoirs
ive been trying to decide what suspension to invest in and ive decided to just stick with what ive got and invest in a new set of konis, i was just not convinced by the gaz shocks and ive heard a few peeps slate them .
where will you mount the remote dampers ?

LEDA are no longer trading and Dave from LEDA now works for GAZ thats why they are nearly the same looking s the LEDA shocks. I am going to try and get some CNC machined billet brackets made and mount them to the tri bars of my cage going to the struts
Just fitted my new shocks, will be having clamps fabricated so the resevoirs can be mounted to the tri-anglelated strut bars between the engine bay and bulkhead not staying on strutbrace.
Oh my.... I am amazed...you have Gordini engine...and gearbox is?
Are you after similar things with this finnish guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WChvnIsqcE
BTW: that car is road legal

The gear box is a JB3 with a few mod's
My 5 is also going to be road legal and I am also going to be drag racing it and may be a few track day's
I see...why not JC5? I think that it is better (more durable atleast). I doubt that JB3 is "bolt-on"...The gear box is a JB3 with a few mod's

JB3/JC5 both just bolt on. The strength difference between the two boxes isn't much more than the difference between a good and bad example of each.
Nice work, keep it up
Gotta ask, how did ya make it 1600cc? are there different pistons and liners or somit?
it's 84mm stroke, and I think 77mm bore (maybe 78mm)
Everything about the JB3 and JC5 is naff when you compare it to a similarly sized Volkswaggen 02J or 02A. JB and JC are both poor excuses for gearboxes when you compare them to the rest of the field.
