Well they took a lot of stuff.

Most annoyingly i think is they stole the farking innovate wide band out of my dash so when my avo kit arrives in a day or two i cant install and tune it now any one hae one for sale ?

[PaulF]

That sucks mate. I hope you've got insurance.

[psquire45]

Unfortunately. The insurance company decided not to pay as apparently the home and contents doesnt cover house hold items stored in a garage ..wtf right.

Ahwell on the upsidemy new head deck and wideband are installed

[psquire45]

So after installing the wide band and adaptronic ive now taken delivery of my rx8 injectors and avo kit.

Had a play with it this morning and dummy fit the kit together

Unfortunately now my problem is finding a 5/8th unf tap o put a big hole in my sump for the oil return

[NitroDann]

I have 3/8th NPT and suitable drill, This is the most common size for this. Unsure if this is the same size.

I dont know tap sizes very well but id gander we are talking about the same thing.

PM me if you are willing to post it back to me.

[psquire45]

Ill double check it then

5/8 is a bloody big hole

[Apu]

That's about the size of the pipe from my rainwater tank!

[psquire45]

So this is the drawing avo sent me for the oil return.

Part number 50 is the part that im assuming is the plug into the sump.

The thread onto that is a 5/8 unf

Dann what do you think?



The connection im using for the oil return is the long brass tube off the bottom of this picture with 5/8 rubber line to the supplied part number 50

Im using these in conjunction with the fm instructions

Blow off valve drawing for recirculated system



Water plumbing diagram



Manifold to turbo to down pipe diagram
Most of this comes pre assembled from either avo or fm except the down pipe

After consulting a mate whos a machinist.

I now have in my possesion a 3/8 bpt tap...... Apparently i was chasing the wrong size anyway lol.


I have to admit this drilling the sump part is the part of this that i really am most nervous about.

So this is where im at

Exhaust and intake are out

Bit of a prick of a time getting the exhaust out theres a bracket that is bolted to the bellhouse / gear box, im assuming to stop the exhaust vibrating against it. Bastard of a thing to get too and the exhaust wont come out in one piece if its there.


While pulling the exhaust out i also pulled a plug out for the heater ........ Not overly happy but it looks like its held in place by a mount to one of the exhaust manifold studs and seals with an o ring and liquid gasket .... This could probably have been avoided if id moved the mount before yanking at the exhaust.
To much enthusiasm.

Heater line can be seen running directly under the exhust ports


Picture is of coolant leaking out



Finally after about 2 hours of head scratching ive decided to delete my air con ( ive never used it as its been out of gas the entire time ive owned the car ) and damn it if its hot put the roof down and drive faster

This made oil bung placement much easier



And some random pictures of dummying up the rest of the hoses.







I still need to get the oil feed line attached.
Im not sure if ill struggle through the wheel well or as im sticking new injectors in at the same time just remove the intake manifold completely. Ill have a better look at it tomorrow after work.


Mean while so so happy ive got that oil drain in. I was absolutely certain id ƒü¢k that up

[A.Chen89]

looking good!

[Sean]

Looking good mate.
I've fitted a couple of these problem free, just take your time and get it right the first time.

There's plenty of experience with these kits on here, feel free to ask us all questions if you like.

[psquire45]

Cheers.

Actually 2 questions im looking around for answers for at the moment.

How to get the oil temp sender out easily.

Currently it seems to be either a 17mm short spanner or a 24mm deep socket through the wheel arch

Which belt and where to buy for ps without aircon.
Currently i think i need
M8x1.25x45mm bolt
For ps pump without aircon bracket im guessing bunnings will probably have one

B61P-15-907A ps only belt
Im guessing repco?
