Josh K. Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Yes sir ;) Intake is done. Air filter is mounted with a really soft rubber isolator. Water pump is fixed. No more leaky. Next? Weld the whole exhaust system and put in the crankcase ventilation system. Also need to TIG up a surge tank for the cooling system.. And last but not least mount the boost solenoid and cooling fan.... All planned. Need to build. That's it for the motor! 7 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Looks like I get to keep my glove box ;) bought a nice fabricated battery box. Welded it under the dash. Done. 5 Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 nice! that is where I mounted my battery. 1 Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Got a link for that battery box/holder? ... is it made for the PC680 or is that a different odessey battery? ... Nice work as always 1 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Made for the PC680. The threaded inserts are janky. I think they sent the wrong hardware for mine. I replace with nyloc nuts later. http://www.odysseybatteries.com/accessories/hd_welded.htm 2 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Mocked up the surge tank. Not sure I like it. We'll see. Seems small. I think it would be OK. Gotta do research... Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Discreet, I like it. Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Not that discrete in my opinion. Kinda detracts from the symmetry of the bay frame. Still better than most others I've seen, but your bar is kinda set high. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I think once its all it an painted it will be less noticeable than most. Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Yeah I'm not sold. I would like it to be higher then the radiator. We'll see. I'll give it another look next time I'm at the shop. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Mocked up the surge tank. Not sure I like it. We'll see. Seems small. I think it would be OK. Gotta do research... Dig. Surprised you didn't run it flat against the fender wall and go with the curve of the wheel arch/ 2 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I'll be building a new one. Going to a cylindrical one mounted vertically next to the radiator on the driver side (next to the filler). I ordered the filler neck tonight. Need to measure for tube diameter. Thinking 3" OD x12" Long, 0.125" wall 6061-T6. On another note. Looks like the engine bay will be shot around Christmas/new years!!! Stoked! 2 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Went out to the shop after work. Cylinder doesn't fit well and looks off.... After some brainstorming I hit on the solution. I don't have the filler/cap yet so height might change. Its definitely the highest point in the system, not that it matters as much for a recirculating system but that's OK. I like!!!! Lots of capacity and looks like it was designed that way..... I'll put baffles inside to prevent sloshing. 3 Quote Link to comment
moath Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Do you need a surge tank since the radiator is mounted vertically? When I was reading about them it seemed like they were more necessary when you had a radiator mounted at an angle like a 240sx or rx7 or something. Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 From what I've read is if your pushing the car you need a recirculating system. Basically when the system over pressurizes it purges coolant. When it cools it sucks air back into the system. With this system it sucks coolant back. This is really good in my case because the radiator is so low. It will purge air and replace with coolant... 2 Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 That's the one. 1 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I want to put the cap on the angled face right above the radiator cap. Not sure theres room. We'll find out next week. Traveling this weekend for work so no play for me. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Nice solution! So are you going to have to figure out a way to get a hose/pipe to lay along the bottom and stay submerged? Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Fitting is gonna be at the low point and baffles inside to keep the sloshing down. 8 Quote Link to comment
