hummm... and once it is in ill be scared to "start IT".
that is assuming the engine even fits haha

lol, i'm sure you'll manage to shoe horn it in there somehow. Crack on, i can't wait to see this beast together.

It is a weird feeling, ain't it? I know it too well, could not really sleep the night before the main swapping work. But c'mon, be a man
and make us all happy

hummm....spent the day cleaning and wrapping bits, checking im not missing bits that could hold me up, and putting them in a pile ready to be fitted
also stripped and cleaned the turbo again as its been thrown around a dusty garage fr the last few months.
pictures...because i could lol

hummm.....spent the day doing stuff I didn't really need to just to put off the inevitable fitting
also did some other bits i didn't need to.
pictures....i needed to take some as i still had some spare time doing the above so had to spend the rest of the day doing something else
only kiddin'

very good and accurate translation...
How's the IAC on the Dell'Orful done?
OP
OP
half inch tail welded into the intake manifold. the gets it air from the half inch port(guess it was made for the crank breather) that is before the butterfly.
fitted together pretty well. (you can see it here https://www.fiatforum.com/cinquecento-seicento/180108-turbo-time-24.html?p=2827269)

from what ive seen hes only fitting this anyway?

Christmas come early... lol
received loads of post:
AN-3 90degree male to female adapter (for the turbo oil feed so the hose dont come out the pump pointing down with a sharp bend going up... anyone with a turbo cento will know what i mean)
tons of silicon hose... not boost pipe but vac hose and hose for the waste gate and other bits (3mm bore/8mm bore/12mm bore.... all in black) even bought stainless spring clips to make sure they stay connected.
loads of wire... all black with coloured stripe. new headlight (H4) connectors as mine have melted. small relay/fuse pack (3relays 9fuses) lots of heat shrink (melt glue/waterproof type). braided wire sleeve.... MUCH easier to fit and use then the usual split/unsplit stuff... looks neater to and you can poke the wires out of the braid where needed without any uglyness (this is the stuff in case anyone is interested http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Braided-s...nnectors_RL&hash=item279c799916#ht_1251wt_812 never bought it from there though)
new header tank from a saab. nice and see thru. pipes leave the opposite side to the centos so will work well when fitted on the other side of the engine bay.... it also has a reed switch built in that triggers when the coolant is low. going to wire this to a little buzzer which will be VERY useful (good chance of loosing all my coolant at some point while working out the new hoses)
small universal washer bottle... only about 1.5liter but its going where the battery tray is/was so easy to see when its getting low.
my spare megasquirt is working well on the stim.
removed ALL the original injector and VR sensor components (the board looks empty!)
wired in the 4channel injector/ignition board.
added high powered FETs for the pwm idle valve and boost control.
extra 5volt regulator for the cam and crank sensors (felt that the original regulator is pushing its limit by powering the ecu and all the other sensors)
sure there is more

Missing piccies
Sounding good though
Sure the regulator is fine, it can supply over an amp easily if i recall right. Two won't hurt though. Just make sure the MS reference and all the signals (tps, ait, clt ) are powered off the one reg and the other is used for the crank ad cam halls. Otherwise there may be slight voltage offsets between the two regulators.

no photos... not much to see really.
yeah i was not sure whether or not it can take it megasquirt manual says wire them to tps 5v but ive gotten used to taking everything they say with a pinch of salt ... think the regulator is 1 or 1.5 amp not tested the idle draw but i know the cpu runs from it and that gets pretty warm and the regulator is VERY slightly warm but does have a large heat sink.
The regulator shares the 12v feed and ground from the other regulator but the 5v going to a spare pin that feeds the cam/crank sensors
better safe then sorry
