HAPPY VE DAY EVERYONE.
In all my boredom, not even being furloughed and being a key worker. With nothing else to do, I decided to go about tidying up my engine bay.
This was my engine bay before sorting it out, little bit cluttered, pipework going all over the place, etc.
Started off with removing the large ECU relay housing and tucking it in with all the cables and water meth pipework.
Then went about sorting out the cables and tidying them, including moving the N249 valve and tucking it out the way. Fitted my R8 oil filler cap.
I then fabricated a pair of holders out of wait for it..... good old 15mm copper pipework, my soldering skills are on point thanks to now being qualified to fitting air conditioning
which my Oil catch can will be fixed to and my horns as I’ve replaced them and relocated them, tucked out the way behind the air filter. I also drilled out and rivet nut gunned the tops so now I can fit my old battery cover.
I’ve also changed the header tank cap and washer bottle cap with an OEM Black replacement.
As you can see I’ve re-done my pipework so now I’ve relocated my DV cold side, plumbed back into the TIP.
I’ve also fitted a 63mm charge pipe from creative motorsport, this doesn’t fit perfectly.... I will need to make a lower bracket to keep the pipe more ridged. I intend to paint all the pipework, DV and catch can pipework black and the charge pipe silver. Using high temp paint.
I will also fit some heat wrap around the silicone joiner of the charge pipe to the turbo. This is a Nomex joiner but still I’ll protect it best I can.
That’s all a job for tomorrow and Sunday
