Could you tell me how the acusump protects the engine on start up by 'priming it'? Interested to learn!
Probably a more elegant method of making sure there's oil pressure from the first rotation than what I did with old planes - hand cranking the engine (took 2 people) with someone else pumping hot oil into the engine (doubt acusump heats the oil, may not need it though... the oil we used was like butter at times) until it leaked out of somewhere high up in the engine (I recall oil coming out near the propeller).Coats everything in lovely oil before the engine's really hammering around.
As the car is having an audio system, twin fans ect we wanted to make sure it had the power.
We also wanted a nice stock look for the interior so didn't want a big ugly battery just siting in the boot.
We went for a twin battery instal so we could use 2 smaller batteries and put them where we wanted.
Custom battery trays were fabricated to house the Kinetik battery's
Battery trays finished and painted
Custom SRD sub box with Alpine R Type Slim Sub
Washer bottle mounted In rear panel with stock filler kneck
Boot floor trimmed for sub

Closer pic of the SRD 160amp alternator.
A must have when running twin fans, Audio system ect.
Intercooler pipe work is now finished and dump valve mounted
Custom PS tank we made, holds more fluid than stock so helps with cooling. We also have a PS cooler as well.
Wanted it to look like it's floating so the mounting was a bit tricky

Few pics of the underside now its all together.
We have made the wastgate pipe switchable.
Its a recirc system with a cut off valve that's controlled by a switch in the car. Screamer pipe at the touch of a button
The down pipe, mid pipe and screamer are all Zircotec coated.
Front under tray:
The bumper didn't have one at all so we made it in one piece to cover the whole lot
Nice flat floor
