A little more work tonight.

Steve and I spent a couple of hours working on the little things. We had tee'd into the BOV line when we installed the FP3052 turbo. At the time we didn't want to drill and tap the turbo for a boost source. The turbo is on loan and we want to return it in the same condition we received it in. So I installed a nipple in the lower intercooler pipe to provide boost to the boost controller.

Steve worked on finishing up the wiring to the trailer and after a little tweaking of the trailer light everything is working perfectly. Steve then moved on to the water injection wiring. Mike had started it on Saturday but with everything going on we didn't get it finished. Steve made quick work of it and when I grounded the relay to test it out the pump powered up and everything worked great. We wanted to have the WI working for the dyno tomorrow so we can come up with a tune with and without it.

In the photos you can see the work Steve did to mount up all the electronic gear. Steve fabbed up a pair of tweed wrapped boards to mount the power inverter, wireless router, and water injection pump.

You can also see the cold air box Chris Wirth built to go with the turbo intake pipe I fabbed. There is a hole in the bottom of that box to grab air from outside the engine compartment. You have to see it in person to understand the attention to detail Chris put into this.

I also got a good picture of the hood vents that TunersNation.com sent us. I think they look killer!

Those vents look great!! Just curious, what do they come from? Off another car, or aftermarket?

Those are factory JDM Galant VR4 RS hood vents. Basically everybody but USA got the RS model with cyclone intake, some with the 16 turbo, and with hood vents. TunersNation.com donated them as part of there Race Day Sponsorship of the RochesterDSM One Lap Team.

Cool vents. How do they attach to the hood?

 

[wibblersnatch]

Just curious. Whats the wireless router for?

 

[housegsx]

Nice progress. Good luck on the dyno today!

The vents have a bolt boss at each corner and on the Factory RS hood they sat in a frame that was recessed in the hood. On my US hood they just sit on top so I cut holes for the bolt bosses to pass through and a big square hole for the air to pass then using screen door window clips they are held in place from the backside.

We are going to use a moble broadband card along with the router to create a moble hotspot whithin the car. That way we can post blogs and photos while in transit. We can also stream live video so everyone can follow along.
