Well the following got done today :
Collected new SC belt
TPS loom has been extended
Final fixings of the throttle cable and adjustment for tension
Final install of the crossover tube
Made a blanking plate for the mazda TB
Replacement of TB gaskets (Both sides)
Instant gasket use
However i came across several problems, actually spent more time in the clio driving around today looking for parts than working on the mazda.
Issues of the Day :
I've spent loads of time this morning phoning around trying to get a MK2 dummy throttle body or ICV (Idle control valve), no luck from the shops.
Need some 45 degree silicon bends for the intake, looked all over the place, couldn't find anything, even went to the scrappers but it was shut!
The ICV is wrong for the TB i have so in the end i've got a mate sending me one down from Scotland, had another friend over this morning and he is going to bring me an ICV off his second engine, but i don't know if it will fit, should have this tonight for testing out tomoz!
So this leaves me in the following position :
The car fired up several times today, but without some revs the thing just stalls, as above due to the ICV, so without this i can't run the car to map it, once i get the ICV / 45 degree silicon hoses and extend the MAF wire thats job done basically.
A few side items still need finishing like connecting the washer bottle up again etc.
Missing intake bends, you can see i need one to bridge the gap from MAF to pipe and the other needs to go at the back of the throttle body :
How close are these belts (Running through the new tensioner!)
Overall engine shot, what it looks like after today :
