Grant Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Cheers mate.Head is now off and engine being pulled in the next few days. Just bought a new head and cams plus a socketed P30 ECU so I can map the engine once it's all back in. Managed to strip the last of the wiring loom today and mock up the interior ready for re-wiring. I'll post pics in the week but pleased so far.Progress nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLaSoul Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Okay, proper update: Started on the loom (spaghetti junction) again. So this:was dragged indoors and laid outwith all the components. All the relays, plugs and components were mapped and cut out of the loom (checking everything against the Honda wiring diagrams - ) Leaving another mess of wires to be cleaned up Leaving the dash with just the wiring to the switches attached and the separated plugs to the engine. With the nice "clean" interior, everything was put in place ready to be re-connected. Cardboard templates were made for all the brackets needed to hold everything in place. These will be taken out and made in aluminium when I get time (few months away then!). Main fuse blocks are now in the middle of the car to shorten the cable runs, so I need to only run one wire from the battery to the black fuse box. I also mocked up the brake bias lever (yellow handle next to the handbrake) Everything is labelled up with my favourite tool! New mini heater matrix is in place - small fraction of the weight of the original but should be enough to keep my feet warm. It's directly below the original screen vents so I can duct it to blow up the middle of the screen if required. And the plugs labelled with the heat-shrink function of my printer Battery in place And high flow fuel filter (metal element type) also in place ready for fuel lines and mounting bolts Time to pull the head off Pistons relatively clean, bores still have the honing marks so the original block still good Original P72 head next to the PR3 head and ITR camsExhaust side is the same, intake and cam profiles are quite a bit different. Head gaskets and pulleys are identical so they will swap cleanly. I couldn't photograph it but the ITR head has double valve springs vs the P72 head single (MORE REVS!!!!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
