- Sat May 09, 2009 4:01 pm #115784 Today i decided to build the mounts for the brake fluid reservoirs, they are not so small so gave me some trouble to find a good spot. after some measuring and lots of trial fittings, I decided to mount them under the former vent in the top center of the dash, this way they are easily accessible and easily covered and out of sight.

Problem was that the heater didn't leave much room to work with, so decided to mount a bracket onto the heater, which itself is a solid steel cased unit, so this was good:







I had disassembled the heater unit in order to safely weld the bracket onto it, thereafter re-assembled the heater core:






Mounted the heater onto the brackets that we had welded in a while ago:





I had measured out the distances so that the reservoirs would basically be about 2 mm over the welded in crossbrace, luckily this came together nicely:






Now fitted the dash over it:






And nicely covered up:

- Sun May 10, 2009 1:01 am #115863 My next project is meant to be a 240Z (with an RB26DETT), but after seeing this project I'm really temped to do an EF9 to the same specs as this.

Although if I get my 240 done as well as this then it too should be awesome.



Keep up the good work.

Yeah, very cool, and it would work out a fair bit lighter than this aswell making for an even better power to weight ratio.

- Sat May 16, 2009 3:42 pm #117255 Today I decided to finish up the work that had to be done underneath the dash.
The pneumatic shift system uses an air compressor and an air tank to make the 40 microsecond shift time even possible, so these needed to be mounted decently and not let go in high G turns.

Made brackets to accomodate the compressor:







Then I made brackets to hold the air tank and K-pro ecu:























Also made brackets to mount the fusebox on the driver side:






And finally trial fitted the rear bumper and taillights:

- Sun May 17, 2009 2:17 pm #117390 There weren't enough hours in a day yesterday, so finished up under the dash today by mounting the shifter solenoids:






Also had some steel inserts made yesterday to be able to weld into the chassis and provide solid and decent mounting points for the seatbelts. The seatbelts eyebolts screw into them:

Remember when Civics were cool ? Yea me neither

- Tue May 19, 2009 9:06 pm #117789 After some studying of the sadev manual that came with the transmission, I decided it would highly benefit from it's own cooler, since it even has it's own integral pump. Then decided this evening to turn thoughts into actual stuff:

- Tue May 19, 2009 11:01 pm #117800 Cool, I suppose keeping it cool will result in less wear to the internal parts.



Looking forward to the next update.
