Thanks! Car runs very good now. But it still isn't the way I want it. I've got that tuning bug in me
Anyhu... back to the build. Wideband oxygen sensor & LC1 mounted and connected
Wiring went through the firewall
Quite a few cables
There was no other place for the wires to go in the cabin, without taking the engine out, except under the windscreen
Just behind the passenger airbag
I've also installed wires for three gauges, which were mounted on top of the dash (no other place for mounting in this car)
Tidying up the wires
Silicone around the hole, to prevent any water to come inside the cabin
Making an adapter plate for the Porsche throttle body, out of an old intake manifold
Drilled holes
Test fit on the manifold
And on the TB itself
Putting everything together, to see if it fits. I had an old coupling hose laying around, so I could start the car
Of course, there's always a problem with customization. TB is too wide, so the original expansion tank would not fit anymore...
The appropriate tank was from a Golf III, which is also one of the cheapest around
Test fitting
Port matching on the TB
Enlarged intake manifold entrance
I've enlarged the hole by 9mm...
Some more port matching
It looked like this before the very first start up with the new TB
And with mounted gauges. Some people would say they look "ricer", but frankly I don't care that much about that. I prefer function over esthetics
all day long
To be continued...
