Following on from my previous post, I got the clutch, flywheel, motor and box in only to realize the concentric slave cylinder was leaking. Now I’m not sure if this was my doing or it was dead out of the box but I’m leaning towards the latter. Taking it apart I couldn’t see any issues, so I think something internal had failed. It was also marketed as an “upgraded’ CSC however it was almost identical to the new one I got. Thankfully, the CSC came in my clutch kit as they are ridiculously expensive alone. I also got an absolute bargain on the kit as part of a sale.
With the CSC problem, I had to delay my dyno day and I wasn’t very impressed with the support from the OEM.
We must move forward though. After a brief break from the frustration, work kicking my ass and waiting on the new CSC I eventually got it all back in with the clutch working.
I also tidied up the wiring, extended some sensors etc. It’s looking good.
Today I dummy fit the oil cooler & intercooler with associated lines. I will get Rob (the tuner) to redo most the piping, but the overall layout appears to work. The dump pipe is going to very tight – he has his work cut out for him!
Not much to do now, need to do fluids, check for leaks and that’s about it. Touch wood…
