| From the left,
3/8 QR fuel inlet connector, tee to supply fuel to the
pump, manual bypass trim valve and lastly a NC fuel
shut off valve.
|
|
The Fuel filter
has now been secured in to place.
|
|
|
|
Oil bypass trim valve fitted, this
has now replaced the 3bar pressure relief valve. I have
decided that oil pressure will be regulated
manually, at least for now anyway.
|
|
The thermocouple has been held in
place by using a 3mm compression fitting, which in turn
has been tapped in to a hole in the turbo. |
|
|
|
Fitting of the glow plug, not particularly
pretty I know but it works. I may still have to switch
back to using the High Energy Igniter if ignition this
way is a problem.
|
|
I am going to reverse the rotation
of the router by swapping the brush's around 180 deg's
so that it can be used for starting the engine, speeds
of up to 30,000 rpm should be achievable. |
|
|
|
Current wiring diagram, I expect this may change slightly
at some point.
|
|
Work in progress. Front of the control panel. Nothing
like using scratched aluminium.
From the left:- Throttle, RPM, EGT, P2, Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, Oil Pump Switch & Indicator,
Glow Plug Switch & Indicator and Fuel Flow Valve Switch & Indicator.

To help improve efficiency I am
going to make use of an agricultural aluminium lamp shade,
it has
all the right curves in the right places. Thanks PD!
|
|
Attaching the newly made intake
trumpet is going to be a rather crude affair, but it will
serve its purpose. At some point I will make use of the bolt
holes that are available in the compressor housing.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately the housing does
foul on the metal frame, so I had no choice but
to cut a small slot in the aluminium.
|
|
Start of a basic jet pipe, this
is definitely going to be a pain as there are no bolt holes
to attach any form of pipe to, some drilling of the turbo's
flange will have to be done here.
Enough time has now been spent on it as a stationary
engine, its time to put it in a Kart.
