doezel Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Well, I I have to make an appointment and have them check if everything went fine and it's safe. Then I can start paying less road-tax and get a green sticker for Germany 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doezel Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Little update: starting time is nearing...  First I had to make my own plugleads; quite interesting to do! Then I could finally build the air-intake since I received the correct size hoses. I use a 90 degree bend front the throttle body to the Megasquirt-V8 air-temp/idle-air-connection pipe. From there I use a 45 degree bend to the standard TD5 MAP sensor house (MAP is not used anymore). The TD5 airbox still fits and is connected to the standard TD5 raised air intake. You also see the Fuel Pressure regulator on top of this picture (The shiny thing). This will reduce the TD5 fuel pump pressure to the desired pressure for the THOR fuel-rail. Excess pressure is dumped into the standard TD5 return line. Finally I was able to bolt the flex-plate to the torque convertor. Quite a PITA but with a good magnetic lamp and my iPhone camera to "look around the corner" I was able to screw in the 4 bolts.  Also the Serpentine belt is now mounted....    Another challenge was that my engine had a secondary air injection system (which seems to inject extra air into the exhaust) Since I wasn't using that system anymore and since the thread was really weird, I had some plugs made to block the holes for that 2nd air system. Just leaving them open wouldn't be an option.... 🙂   Still to do before starting: create/connect cooling system, put oil in the engine, check all sensors and actuators, mount the exhaust and start the thing!
