First time a Tornado in Barcelona

Hi Scott, I am excited to hear the engine I hope in two or three weeks the engine is running...
Hi Jason, this box is a petrol tank to ensure petrol for the pump, my mechanic want to do the "best petrol pipeline in the world", first we put a small pump from each petrol tank to the small tank and the principal pump takes petrol from this small tank, after the pump there is a pressure regulator because this engine works at very determinate pressure....

Very nice build Oriol, so fast and with a great attention to detail, your fuel/petrol setup its great, a very neat and clever solution to the twin tank FI return issue :thumbsup:
 
Testing the body

respect for your work so far, eye for detail in the build, also that engine sounds lovely.
I also can't remember seeing a LHD centre-shift Tornado before :) nice.

Hi I just started looking through your build pix. Great looking. But there is one thing I noticed as a plumber by trade. How are your refridgerant copper line soldered? They look to be done in lead based solder (soft). I can tell you that they need to be silver soldered (hard). Use actual silver bearing solder actually it's siver brazing "soldering" is a miss-nomer. The vibration, expantion/contraction & pressures will break appart lead solder joints. It's also best to use as few joints as possable & copper specificaly for refridgerant lines not water.

Very Nice Oriol,
One thing though ... I am expecting the next pictures would be of you driving it down the road !
The builds going " faster than a rat up a drain pipe "

Hi Mike, all is silver soldered dont worry
 
The electronic circuit is finished, the electric installation is completed pendent the body installation, the dashboard is compliant with the IVA test (I suppose)
