More good progress Phil, those pressure wave sensors are something I have never heard of how do they work?
Does that fuel rail allow use of injector clips? Also where is the acc cable bracket from?

Hi Luke,
 
The pressure wave sensors are a high speed/high pressure sensor that the equipment uses in conjunction with a crank position sensor to create a pressure wave map. The software can then analyse the data and confirm if the combo is correct or if gains can be had. I havent seen it in action yet but as soon as the tune is done we can hook up the gear and see how everything shapes up.
 
This fuel rail doesnt use clips but swallows the injector enough to prevent it from being able to move anywhere near the orings.
 
With the throttle bracket, I bought it years ago off ebay from the UK so not sure who the supplier was now, but all the other alloy cnc parts are from MK Motorsport...top quality gear!!
 
Cheers,
 
Phil.

With the rain today came a chance to get out into the shed...I finished the Accusump install and capped the pipes until the engine has finished running in...just needs a -10 hose installed to become functional!! The remote pressure valve has been successfull tested and after sacrificing a nice chrome valve cap, I had a nut to secure it in the alloy shield panel.

One of the last goodies required for the engine bay turned up a few weeks back...its a Turbosmart fuel pressure regulator for -8 fuel lines. I've made a bracket to mount it under the inlet manifold out of the way. Just need to shorten the fuel rail a touch and make up the fuel lines then its pretty much a case of waiting for the head

Cheers Guys, Its been a while since I've updated so have missed your replys....
Milan, Im pretty sure it was about $275? Was from an Ebay shop.
 
The latest progress is the centre feed fuel rail, now has had the mods completed and is finished ready for the fuel lines to be made. Still waiting on the head, but should be ported very soon:)
