How'd u block off the back of the block?
Or maybe the return hose fed back into the stock coolant fitting?

The Thinggy that is where the blocking plate is attached, That thing the OEM one... That feeds the Stock TB Warmer and H Core..

There is no second loop nor is there a thermostat in MP5T.

The Pump Speed is what regulates the engine cololant temperature.

The haltach is set to speed up or slow down the pump based on coolant and oil temperature.

If the Oil is normal, the coolant decides the speed, however, if the oil goes over max target, the pump spins up 50% normal to cool off the oil.

(No Faggy Oil Cooler Required)

All of this s*** is automatic and requires no intervention by the driver.
 
Thanks for the video. I really like the layout of the bay now. You have so much more room for activities! Curious how the final product will sound, engine + cooler at proper speed. So damn envious of your car and it's parts. So much of my car is stock and has been untouched. It saddens me to know that I have 10 year old parts that need tlc or replacing. It's a shame I can't clone your car and paint it Blue!

Question I've had about your straight-cut gears. I'm sure the transmission is a great improvement over the OEM gearing. I'm curious how your transmission would effect gas mileage on a stock car. I assume your gas mileage is hindered due to performance set-up, turbo, etc. Have you seen an increase/loss? What rpm's are you seeing around 105 to 110kmh? I can feel the loss of power in the higher rpm's of the transmission and can see where the is room for improvement. Sorry if anything I say sounds stupid. I'm a transmission n00b

There are three real factors for economy

Mass
Front Cross Section
Gearing

Mass, CHECK (The P5 weighs less than my wife's Mazda2)
Front Cross Section (Cant do much about that)
Gearing (Making the engine move less at the same speed will greatly reduce internal friction)

The other factor is that the transmission has Needle roller bearings and straight cut gears... Both reduce transmission loss... So more HP can make it to the wheel... which means I need to make less to move the same..
I have no Power Steering killing HP
I have no AC killing HP
I have no water pump killing HP
my rotating assembly is 1/3 the weight of stock.
The wheels weigh 16 Lbs (My 18" weigh 3 Lbs less than the OEM 16" RIMS)
 
Cranked Engine over with Oil on pistons, No Spark Plugs until I saw Oil Pressure (10 Seconds)



So A List of what is left.

Wire Oil Temp Sensor (2 Wires)
Wire Home (1 Wire)
Wire Trigger (1 Wire)
Power to RA-10 (2 Wires)

Verify Trigger and Home are read by ECU


Wire Injector Power (1 Wire and insert Fuse)
Ignition System (Insert Fuse)

Gap 4 Plugs

Connect Fuse for Fans
Connect Fuse for Water Pump

Check Levels

Run Up Car to operating temperature and shut off. (No Driving)
 
Clutch working and Bled. Had a chance to see the new shift gates for the first time. 1,3,4,5 are short... 2nd (Pull Gear) is actually really long. It is expected as the 2nd gear set is twice as wide as normal to handle anything that can be thrown at it. The long pull is to allow the gear to fully mesh. Continuing with "Operation waste a sunny day in the garage..."

Can you explain how does that help it fully mesh? Im a bit confused
 
Whatever distance is normal will fully mesh the original gears...

My 2nd gear was made twice as thick, so it has to travel twice as far to engage 100% of the surface.
 
It is double synchro for 2nd and 3rd.

The transmission was over "8 Large" for a reason...

It's the only one like it..

I know there is a water pump but its not the traditional one that is used in cars.... Also did I miss what you were using as a block off plate for the old water pump location?
 
I used the old water pump. Removed the core and TIG welded a silver dollar aluminium plate over the hole.
