If all goes well I should get my overhauled engine back in bits in June. Last year I removed all turbo parts and sold most of them. The block will stay the same, but there is a new stage 2 high head and high compression pistons. Also a new camshaft SW5 from Swifttune.
At the moment I am building a new subframe with the Watson spring conversion, but in the mean time I am buying parts on Ebay for an EFI installation. I already bought a set of throttle bodies from a Honda SP1 Firestorm:
I will only use one TB that will be installed on a standard MG Metro inlet manifold. I got this set with everything on: TPS, MAP, fuel pressure regulator, 2 330cc injectors per TB, it even has a choke (although I will be removing that).
This week I received the new brains:
It's an Emerald K6 ECU that can hold 3 maps. I got a 3way switch with it, so in theory I could have f.e. an Eco map, road map and track map and switch between them while driving. It came from a Clio, so the loom I got with it is also from a Clio. I will canabalize it to make a loom for the Midas.
The next step is to buy a broadband lambda system with cockpit dial. Then I can run the ECU closed loop, I insert a required AFR in the map and the ECU regulates the injectors to get to this AFR. I am quite excited by this, but no doubt it will be a steep learning curve and a lot of cursing to get from books and theory to something working.
Also a zillion other small parts need to be bought, wiring, special plugs, the trigger wheel and sensor bracket, relays, fuses etc.
I except to be busy setting it up during July and be on the road in August at the earliest. TBC.
