The last picture is giving me ptsd of the new defender ecu wiring madness! Looking really clean mark!

Oooh!

Water meth tank in. It’s around 7 to 8 litres so should be plenty of capacity and won’t need the OE one as deleted rear wiper.

Has built in fluid level sensor too. Just need to add a fitting to the bottom of the tank to run to pump and then sort out the rest of the plumbing when the cars back.

Still waiting for wiring to be completed and tested, there’s a possibility that could be the end of this week.

Filler neck sorted with two x AN10 fittings for catch can and 1/8NPT return for turbo oil pressure regulator. Gave it a quick coat of black.

I’ve ordered coolant & lines for oil and turbo feed.

Next up need some custom ign leads, oil and plugs.

Dash and keypad all powered up.

 

[Francob]

Lots of final checks and trouble shooting by loom builder and tuner today but has resulted in everything in good working order before fitting to car.

Dash and keypad powered up for the first time today.

 

[rx_dreamer]

What are u going to assign to the keypad?

 

[Francob]

What are u going to assign to the keypad?

Fuel pumps, ignition, water meth, power, logging. Will add cruise control at a later date.

Have two toggle switches two for MAP setting changes too.

 

[Francob]

Dorito Design FBW set up tested and working.

 

[Copyninja]
