TrisK Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 have a look at Taggys thread. he did exactly thisbe interesting to see what youve done the same/different Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neil69 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) have a look at Taggys thread. he did exactly thisbe interesting to see what youve done the same/differentTo be honest his videos have been quite helpful. I have put discs on the rear which I m not sure if he did and will be running a standard tank not a fuel cell. Other than that I think it is very similar, oh and I cant afford his front brake upgrade either. lol Edited November 7, 2012 by Neil69 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taggy Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hey Neil, love the work you have done so far, I am particularly interested in how you have wired in your front brake servo. Since putting mine in my brakes are no where near as sharp as they used to be on the EP82 with the same brake setup. I Am just looking at the routing of your brake lines to see if i have some routed them wrong. will have to compare them.Are you going to be using your stock fuel tank from the Ep70 for some how making the ep82 one fit onto the ep70. Only asking as the ep70 fuel tank isnt suitable for a turbo charged car which is why i put in the fuel cell, its got no swirl pott or baffle in it so if you bank hard around a corner your pump is going to suck up lots of air and run lean.

Just had to change one pipe from the 82 between the master and 4 way block on the bulkhead as the ep70 was too short. I have ordered a boltt in unit from usa which has a baffle/collector built in the bottom of it. It needs 6 inch clearance and the tank has 7 inches from the old pickup mounting. The unit comes with a 255 lph walbro pump mounted inside and a return and vent. Hope it works!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neil69 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Right found the early pics of the car. just before I took it all apartStarted to take it apartThe worst rust on the body was at the bottom of both a pillars, cut the outer skin off both at the bottom and let new metal in. Nothing major though. Rest of the body was only surface rust really.Oh and here is the doner car!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taggy Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 i checked the plumbing on my brake servo and strangely its the same, hmmm that is odd! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neil69 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Wiring was removed complete from 82. i have opened the loom. and removed all ancillary wiring so left with engine loom only i hope!! Plan to just solder feeds to original barrel and hide all extra relays away behind dash or in original ep70 fusebox Edited November 9, 2012 by Neil69 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 That is pretty much what i did, if you get stuck with anything though give me a shout and I can help out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neil69 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Im glad you said that. expect numerous pms.!!! i notice on your brakes you have a valve in the vaccum pipe to the servo. mine is just a short pipe to the inlet manifold maybe that is making a difference.

Taggy Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Yeah i wil cut it out and see if it helps The ignition wiring isnt as bad as it originally looks, if you check on the back of the ignition plug there are codes stamped onto the female section of the plug, they match up between both cars but are in different pin positions so you will have to do some creative wiring, failing that just copy the colour codes i have soldered together Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 You need the valve in servo pipe on a boosted engine. It's a one way valve so it stops you filling the servo with boost and giving you a hard pedaComing along nicelyl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 ah just as well i left it in then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
