Phil's Fabia 1.8t Build Thread (ex 1.2 12v)

Recommended Posts

All wiring not put into bay and plugs connected. Injectors and regulator put into fuel rail and connected to the car. Fuel lines and cooling pipe rerouted to suit new charge pipe.

Fitted front end and cut everything away that would get in the way of the intercooler. Didnt secure FMIC as want to weld the tabs onto crash bar to make it secure. Removed all the front end until my oil cooler pipework arrives as it makes it easier.

Fitted catch can to strut brace out of the way, but still useable.

Routed all my sensor wiring from bay through bulkhead and into dash. Fitted gauges to dash pod. Just requires loads of soldering and a switched live sourcing.

Ordered lots of pipes so waiting on them arriving for FMIC before the big startup.

Everything fitted and done 150 miles..

Have a mega oil leak, i've dropped sump and redone it but ive got a feeling its crank seals. Which is game over for Snetterton.

Refill with oil tomorrow and see how it goes.

Resealing the sump failed, so in the morning I'm going to remove and refit without the baffle insert.

If that fails it is deffo the crank seals, which will not be done for Snetterton as it's either going for mapping Monday or no time.

So if it does work, I have sat evening and the drive the Burton to get 350 miles :D
