FTO AUSTRALIA

I decided to take a few more pictures today as I had to measure the air filter (as per last post)




Here is the oil filter relocation kit and HKS boost sensor


Where the magic happens!


Blow off valve




Grooved disks don't have much left on them



Battery relocated to the boot.



To the interior...








His and hers fire extinguishers...














I noticed some wires sticking out from under the passenger seat so took a closer look and to my surprise I saw this!







Kappa Infinity 6x9's

good pics bro...

one question

the oil filter comes off by pulling it up???
wouldnt that spill oil n sh*t everywhere??
(yes i know the oils in the sump, the oils drained etc etc but it cant be 100% empty right?)

umm...
and the the blue... eek

Air freshener in the boot? what use it that?

You're right Mike, I don't know what's going too happen when we come to change that, perhaps it drains out completely when it's not running?

Steff, it hides the smell of the bodies of people I put in there when they ask why there is an air freshener in there

Think it will be 150mm, just wanna check.

It's a bit bigger than that...

Nah, sorry mate, I should have been more specific, I need the width of the entire filter, not just the mouth.

Those filter element replacements come flat, like so:

I measured the mushroom and you're right, it's 150mm across. Should I use the link above?

BTW, mechanic is coming to do the filter, belt and oil leak tomorrow then it'll be back to the dyno on Thursday and pick it up on Friday, if Herman hasn't blown it up!

did taffy do all the aesthetic work himself?

Yeah, he did the blue/silver interior and the blue stripes on the outside.

100% yes.

I bought the 200mm replacement back in june for mine.

seems big when you get it but once you press it up into the mesh it fits like a glove.

+1 mine is same and replaced not long ago 200mm is what you need

Lookin good Al.

I've never been a fan of those dual entry on the one side units, better flow from entry one side, exit the other.

Yes they have better flow end to end. However, there are two important aspects your not considering. Firstly, unless you have a engine that has had its intake plenium reversed eg. Jeffsfto. then you are going to have more pipe work which in most situations will have more bends. Secondly the same side units have better cooling as instead of the air travelling in a pipe to the other side of the car, it is travelling in the actual intercooler. I read a article a few years ago about it. I'll try and track it down

Fuel filter has been changed today. I don't know how you open the old one to take a look but my mechanic left me a sample of fuel...





Also changed the other belt as the old one was looking a bit worn like Lawso's.





It's going back to the Dyno tomorrow to be tuned on Friday. I won't be there to see it run but I'll post the figures if it doesn't run too lean.

The mechanic said that some of the dirty fuel may have got to the injectors and that could be why it ran lean too. Lets see what happens next...

Which do I need? "A dry 3-layer, triple density or wet 2-layer, dual density construction."?

I don't have gaypal (it's *~delightful!~*) is there anywhere else to buy these?

and how would u go about unblocking the injectors?

glad to see your giving it the TLC it deserves!

OH that looks yummmmy

I went with dry 3 layer but up to you really

That belt is missing a rib supposed to be a 6 rib.

And yeah, that fuels a bit how ya going Best way to open the filter up is just to hack saw it in half.
Bring it to Dwaynes & I'll do it for ya, add it to the fuel filter wall of shame

Envy do have an injector cleaner machine down there. Does require the intake manifold to come off thou, if they've got the time.
If they do, don't forget to get them to do the 7th injector

OK, I'll try to bring the old fuel filter with me to Dwaynes.

I drop HKS FTO off at Envy tonight and told him what got done yesterday. He's going to dyno it and if it's still running lean he'll do the injectors.

Figures coming soon... I hope...

This happens on some models of harley... and yes you spill oil everywhere. There's probably some trick to it

Btw i just read both of the threads and id like to say congradulations AJ on a fantastic buy (*cough* u son of a bitch *cough*)

and i cant wait for you to fix it up so we can have HLBA day and DIY day.

Happy Laps with Ben and AJ... just imagine, a whole day of boosted fun
