Hi Mate,

As promised pics of progress while you were away:

 

Rad fixed in final location.

Fuel plumbing done, may foul edges of air box slightly?

Clocks in place, look good.

Wiring 'tidied up'!!

Now there's something to look at!! :bow:

Lovin' it!

Looks very good!! but you will not get far on that fuel lol!!

Ooh tilt !!

Nice!!!!!! :bow:

oh i want to here that start up sooo bad!!!

Aaaaand I'm back in the room (and bloody glad as well, it was -18 deg C over there at one point......-18!. AND I had to be up before 5am two days running. Up till then I thought there was only one 5 o'clock in the day...;) )

 

Great work chap! Lol @"tidied"...now, they weren't exactly a mess to start with...this is you we're talking about...obsessive compulsive doesn't begin to cover it...:p :D ;)

 

Now I'm back I've only got to seal the garage floor and the new "workshop" will be fully functional. Itching to get stuck back in (the bodywork as much as the engine on mine...;)). Really nice to see a bigger photo of the clocks and fascia in situ as well.

 

Meh. I have jet-lag from hell. Will call you tomorrow!

wow :bow: :bow: !!

 

Is that the oil cooler in the nose panel for the dry sump ?

 

Whats the two red buttons for on dash ?

thats simply stunning

Whats the two red buttons for on dash ?

 

I'd say they are the "function" buttons for the two SPA gauges in the dash (oil & rev counter).

 

I

Fantastic, has to be one of if not the best zed projects in the UK apart from mine of course :D

Awesome work jon, been ages since i popped down and had a look, i'll have to come down soon anyway because i need to let you tune the zed when you have some time

Cheers for the comments.

Yes, that is the oil cooler. Bit worried it might not be big enough but will suck it and see.

Aaron is right about the buttons, nothing more exciting than that I'm afraid!

Blimey! It's about time there was some progress on this :D

 

Looking good though John!

looking good !! you must have some serious patience !

Oil cooler does look a bit small but as you are not running any tubs and you have a big rad I think you should be OK.

John, is that the k3 version of the emerald? If so are you going to use the multiple map facility? Looking good by the way.

Good to see an update John, looking great :cool:

Yes it is, and yes.

I've basically set it up with a circuit that switchs maps on the ECU in sync with the exhaust bypass valve.

 

The ECU has 3 maps

1) Mapped with Exhaust closed

2) Mapped with Exhaust open

3) Mapped with Exhaust open + full throttle shift, pops and bangs etc!

 

I had Karl modify the ECU PWM table to an on/off which then triggers the map switch between maps 1 & 2 and also opens the exhaust if the selector switch is in mode 2.

 

The selector switch has 3 modes:

1) Exhaust closed and map on 1

2) Exhaust auto and map 1 or 2 depending on exhaust pos (prob open if throttle > 30% and rpm >4000)

3) Exhaust open and map 3

That sounds awesome. :bow:

 

When you open that thing up its going to sound like The Gods are angry!!!
