great news! well done with all the excellent prep work!!!

have to say the above description is how diesels work wammers has described it perfectly, not trying to butt in, maf signal does have a bearing on fuel input,but its really there to measure the amount of air going in

Have to agree with

thats somewhat as i was expecting! Thanks muchly, it how i worked it out but then saw the mgf system, and thought I had it wrong, lovely neat installation that, and anyone know the top hose diameter? i..found a t piece i think will work if it fits the top hose bore, if not its down to welding...

Hey thanks for that,did see a similar one but it siad cut most of the pipes off so ignored it lol can see now that i do need a t pice for the top hose to bypass, damnit lol

yep thats the one i got!

well the kit was expensive i thought and i got the prt for 15, so thought i could make up some suitable hoses, however as I didnt even bother looking at how to fit it, just assumed soemone would have done it i didnt look until it got here , doh!

everytime i think i hove foundit turns out to be an mgf!! or an elise, let you know how to if i find it , may just make up my own at this rate, got the basic theory flow worked out now , but putting it into practice wil take some careful thought i dont want to blow the new gasket by getting it...

just been back and reread the whole post,for the amount of work required, I think you have doen a stonking job! and even if it gets to 600 you still gonna have a cheap 4x4,if you keep it and run it for 2 years,that (minus the insurance and tax) still only stands you in at 40 pounds a month...

lol long as the welds are strong! function over beauty as i often tell the wife!! looks like you dont clean the surface to be welded? just start welding,it always pays to get some clean metal to weld to,makes it a lot neater

As i know loads of brits here who have one? usually parked up lol

well its all done, used the polymer gasket, after a hiccup getting the right sized rotor arm,put it all back together as i thought it should, now dont shout at me for this, but i didnt lock the crank or the cams,used no special tools at all, just my god knows how many years of playing with...

quick tip! if you weld somewhere like that, whilst its still hot but not extremely lol spray the weld with wd40 or 3 in 1 or duck oil have even used engine oil! the oil will soak into the weld and surrounding area,next time you look no rust! it just stay the same as it is now,ive done this on...
