More amazing build process loving it. Although that air filter will that not be just sucking in lots of hot air from the engine. Surely it would be better closer to the grill or where battery would have been behind the light. Still amazing stuff tho. Wish I could get me an fittings sorted for fuel lines to get mine back out for summer

[@SuperRon]

It's not such a big deal in a turbo'd car as it passes through the intercooler anyway, but yes for optimum performance a cold air intake would be better. But it's not a major compromise to performance for the looks of the bay. Thanks for watching 😁

[@bigec20let93]

Great progress, nice little touch there with the wilwood bias valve, looking forward to seeing how you do the air ride build

[@richie7714]

@SuperRon fair point. Intercooler would fix any of that by rights then happy days. Any thoughts on battery yet. Still can't decide what to do with mine but defo want it out of engine bay I can put a oil cooler in its place

[@SuperRon]

@richie7714 we're waiting for the seats to come back, but will probably be a sealed gel battery under the seat.

Hi Ron, have you ever replaced the mechanical power steering pump with an electronic one on the astra mk3 ? I ve read about the saxo and astra mk4 pump which is somehow easier to do but I am not 100% sure if true.

[@SuperRon]

I have fitted an astra mk4 one to a bmw 1series race car to replace the mechanical pump from what I remember you just had to power the pump off a switch and plumb it in like the mechanical one.

[@Heisenberg92]

@@SuperRon The mk4 pump has 4 wires, ground, switch and a 2pin conmector.. any ideas whats that for? Does it need to pass through the ecu in order to work?

[@SuperRon]

I just dug my wiring diagram on the job to see if I noted down the mk4 pas wires but unfortunately I didn't 👎 no ECU's involved though, I think I just had to give it a big battery wire then an ignition feed to 2 of the wires and there was an earth. Hopefully Google will have your answer

[@Heisenberg92]

@@SuperRon yeah managed to find out.. Big red goes to +ve, big brown to ground, then from the three small wires (one for ecu diagnostics - not connected, one to ignition live and one to alternator output to give it some delay). This will speed up the pump instantly, rather than connecting both wires to 12v ignition.

Got a link for the header tank? Can’t find it online with that part number

Until you find a new reservoir, bleach it using hydrogen peroxide. It'll soon come out looking brand new. 💪

[@SuperRon]

We did consider the dishwasher too, hopefully we'll find a new one 🤞

[@marijevandermeer3383]

The air filter seems very cheap an air filter from a mk2 turbo diesel of a G60 would have looked much Nice and take in more cooler air al so

[@SuperRon]

It looks to be a nice item, thanks for watching 😁
