FJ1500 Turbo EFI Katanaha Project, with a whiff of Nitrous...

[Havoc]

.........If anything I was thinking about using a milder cam from a 1200 for it's initial road trim.....

I have heard in the past that the early FJ1100 cams were more aggressive than the later FJ cams, however, when Randy was doing my '84's rebuild, we looked at the 1100 vs. 1200 cams side by side, and taking measurements shows that they are the same.

Pat you know I've never measured them, always been a belief, urban myth?, there you go. However the part numbers are different for the 1100, all the 12's have the same part number, doesn't mean they're different though I guess.

36Y Inlet - 36Y-12171-00
36Y Exhaust - 36Y-12181-00

1TX, 3CV and 3XW Inlet - 47M-12171-00
1TX, 3CV and 3XW Exhaust - 47M-12181-00

I like it here, not been able to talk to peole about FJ specific issues before, been making it up as I go along, thanks

Lookin at that though the numerical parts of the numbers are the same, never noticed that before..

Made up the main oilcooler feedlines this afternoon. I have used the bottom section of the original cooler feed lines.



Cleaned up for paint.



I did this by welding a fixing on the top of the old pipes to accept Earls stuff.





The radii of the bends are a little too tight for my liking, I think it will be stressing the fixing a bit much, we'll see. Just to say I really do appreciate the input I've had here, problem is I found this place too late, I don't have the funds to go back and retro fit better ideas at this stage, it'll be running in a month or so. But when I rebuild I can take the expertise offered here on board. Thank you folks

Hi Havoc,thats a nice looking set up on the cooler pipe work. Can i recommend;

if you need fitting at less cost than the big name brand stuff?? I use this company for all my stuff when it comes to hose's,AN fitting etc. Ive never had a problem yet with any of it.
Just a thought.

[Havoc]

That is a little cheaper than Earls from Pirtek, cheers.

Not a massive Bling Fan but I've got a machine at work that engraves. The window clutch cover will be engraved. Here are some test pieces, will be going with the clear background 'Oldskoolperformance' design. The 'FastByMe' logo is a friend of mine that does ride in, ride out Turbo installs.

Fitted the new 680cc DEKA injectors into the TBs, coil pck and 4 BAR MAP sensor arrived this week as well.





making up the fuel system this Sat if it's not to cold in the shed. Earls SS lines in many pieces. Tank-course filter, filter-pump, pump-fine filter, filter to fuel rail, rail-rail, rail to FPR and FPR-tank. Not sure where to mount Coil pack and KMS ECU, they need to be as far apart as possible, one in the nose , one in the tail but not sure which way round to go. HT leads would be shorter if the coil was in the nose, recieve better cooling there as well.

My shed is cold and wet this time of year and has no electricity so the build has been transfered to the Turbo experts's workshop a couple miles away.

Onwards and upwards...

Seems like a tuning nightmare to me to ever start playing with alternate carb configurations, I can't imagine making all the drastic mods you're doing and still getting it to run well. I get going fuel injected does make it a little easier, though. I just feel comfortable getting a bike back to stock. Can't imagine the experience it would take to do what you're doing well. Hats off to you. 

Definitely enjoying the read.

I'm enjoying the saga too. I'm visiting the UK next year, maybe see the beast in person?

Thats a good place for your bike to be. One day i too hope to pay a visit to that particular person's garage armed with some cash and a few ideas.

i've been following the thread eagerly too... more detailed pictures of turbo oiling and fuelling please!! 
keep up the good work!

More than welcome, will be running at the Straightliners events at Santa Pod. I'll be trundling around on it on the road in between meets. I'm slap bang center of the island near Nottingham

Will be sorting the turbo oiling next Saturday and finishing the fuel lines, didn't take any photos of that last Sat.

[dixiethedog]

I too live in England and would love to see the bike!!!

Kettles always on Brett...
