Oil Temperature sender / Oil Cooler


My standard oil cooler is now redundant as I am running an external oil cooler and my coolant no longer runs through this system. Oil still passes through the system so its a good location to fit the oil temperature sender. Its been recommended that Its drilled and tapped into the hollow bolt head.



On removing the standard cooler I marked the location of the cooler as it must go back in the same location.




The standard cooler is really heavily. Going to see if I can get it replaced, a good weight saving to be had here.



Heres the nut bolt that needs to be drilled and tapped. I've sent this off as my drilling and tapping skills are not the best.

My EBT oil temperature sender will screw into the end of this bolt once complete.


The Making of my coolant system..


As I am running the electric water cooler my coolant hose setup is a little different to the MNR setup. This meant there was a little trial and error to get the setup correct. 

Below is my base kit to try and get a setup. 


The electric pump with the connections the wrong way round as it works better for my solution.


Trying to keep the pipes as level as possible on the run between the front and back of the car. I come out the bottom of the radiator, then through the holes in the steering rack plate and then across to the pump behind the engine.








The electric pump should just hang there however I might have to make a bracket to support it.



The wrong connections to my radiator were sent so I couldn't get it fully connected up.

Front brake caliper carriers


The correct front brake caliper carriers turned up so I was able to fit the calipers.

Now I have the correct carriers they fit really well. I had to buy some new bolts off Ebay.






New fuel tank, with Honda fuel pump..


It's been recommended to me to run the bike fuel pump as its self regulating, which means I don't need to run an external regulator and only needs one fuel line. 

My tank from MNR, had a feed and return pipe plus a swirl pop. It needed cutting around so much to make the CBR pump fit I thought it was better just to get a new tank made. 




The ETB fuel sender was pre fitted, it doesn't just bolt through the tank it bolts into a bit of billet aluminium.



The CNC swirl pot is nearly as nice looking as my Billet sump.








Fuel pump installed.

ETB DigiDash 2 PRO+


My dash turned up.. Decided to go with the DigiDash 2 PRO+..  Its a popular choice and well documented so seemed like the best option.







Downpipes..


Some pictures of the downpipes now in my hands after back from the polishers.










Really pleased with the results.. Can't wait to see them on with the body.
