[project] Sarty Evo II - Phase 2 Of Project Sarty

[DrSarty 90 1 Cars]

it'll still be setting car alarms off at idle

 

 

P.S. The loom wasn't partially pre-built, although the 4 coil plugs had pigtails on.

 

When I mention the DIYAutotune loom, all it is is a bundle of 12feet of coloured and labelled wires. There are no connections at all.

 

I made the Emerald connector, and then wherever possible re-use OE connectors from cars, e.g. injector looms and plumb them in. So on the car are 2 injector looms (4 x JPT connectors = 8 wires each set, already joined by the manufacturer into a 3 pin plug) and then make a plug to join them into my loom.

 

I hope that's clear as mud.

 

Here are the pics of the finished install.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It'll have a grille soon to protect the rad from stones.

nice, looking tidy, the track is very wide at the front, should be interesting to see how it handles. lets see a vid or twoo then rich!

 

contour hd cam is a good bet... it's what we use for all the in kart footage.

Excellent stuff

Only thing I;d say about the ECU is the location, Not sure on the IP rating of the Emerald but it's never looked that great to me

I was thinking exactly the same thing

 

Must admit, the front spoiler is growing on me.

Looks like room for a half cage in the back

I would've just cum in my pants if I wasn't wearing a kilt right now (seriously!) As it is I have a sticky desk, cant wait till you bring this up to Bonnie Scotland one day!

[Batfink 201]

although a very nice car there is no substitute for a good woman.

Looks really good Rich, I hope to see it in the metal soon.

Yep me too, I thought you'd locate this inside, especially in the orientation it's at. Are you planning to cover that up?

 

Really good thread though, spurring me on.

Yep, liking the front spoiler - especially knowing that it's not just for cosmetic purposes.

 

Whole car's looking fantastic

Looking good Rich but I would have to agree with the other comments. Any motorway spray will be in there like swimwear.

 

Big thumbs up with the progress though cocker, have to have a meet up when mine is done.

It looks really awesome Rich, you should be very proud

You know what I meant. don't be so obtuse

 

P.S. When did you go shopping at Camden market?

[jakey 1]

Awsome car.

 

As Davie said, you should be proud!

How much wider is the front track compared to the rear. It looks a lot but it may just be the pictures???

[welshpug 1,622]

it is a lot, the rear is standard 1.9 width

[maxi 36 1 Cars]

One other little thing Rich, are you going to use that fuel pump inertia switch? Just a little of my experience that on a lowered, stiff motor, they set off REALLY easily, especially those old 306 ones.

 

Not knocking it, just thought id mention my run in with them.

 

 

Maxi

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

Not just the 306 ones the 406 ones are almost as bad, On my old one went over a pot hole and the engine cut out, DOH

[DrSarty 90 1 Cars]

Thanks for the comments.

 

The ECU will be protected have no fear.

 

Now have 2mm spacers for the front.

 

I haven't driven it yet. The inertia trip switch never sprang in that location on Evo I, but points taken again and I will be taking spares plus a bypass joiner just in case.

 

RR and road mapping in about a week.

Great car, so many nice little touches, some of which I might borrow!

 

Might be a stupid question, but what engines / cars did the oil filler and fuse box come from, they'd do me nicely!

 

Mad.

Fuse box is from a Xsara but most PSA cars have them.

 

S16 oil filler stack.

 

Shame this Joe character's used my topic in his rampage to get 30 posts to sell whatever he has to sell.

[Daviewonder 533 3 Cars]

Rich do you have any pictures of the underside of the rear of the car? How are the trailing arms held into the beam tube if there's no torsion bars to hold them in place?

Exactly what I was thinking Rich.

Looking good Rich.

 

Makes me wish i had the funds to build an awesome 205 rather than blow it on child care! Once its on the road, a Curry/chinky meet will need to be organised
