VERY neat mate. But what about the rear ports.

also confirm those ports on the pump are both on the suction side as apposed to flow.

They allow any excess air that is trapped in the head coolant ports to escape. So yes they do flow coolant.

For the mean time I have left the rear ports blocked off, as per the factory setup. Not too sure if I will end up joining them up to the front ports just yet.

Both of the ports share the same common void in the housing, but they are on the flow side, rather than then suction side. I’m going to see how they preform and if I have any issues, I’ll revise then.

I dont have the rear ports plumbed, zero issues with overheating.

It won’t overheat with them blocked. It just creates hot spots.

Whats next Renno?

I’ve got a few things in mind, but I’ve recently got my hands on an Astra electric power steering pump. So that will more than likely be the next project Cava.

For strengthate. I like that cover you got made. How much you selling them for?

I think the stitch will be more than enough to stop the arm from folding in on itself on a hard launch. But I guess time will tell… The covers are $35.00 posted to your door.

wasnt there a pic of this?

I don’t know where they went, but that post has been updated with the pics again mate. I’ve also added them below.

Basically a mate of mine and myself got a bunch lazer cut just incase anyone was after one.

They were based loosely around the CAE starter relocation bracket, which from memory is the same for all transmissions. In saying that, I was a bit particular with mine and trimmed it down a bit more to suit my application. For example one of the tabs on the rear main plate stuck out on my engine, so I had to cut a small recess out for it (as you can see in the pics). So I usually advise anyone that wants one, that they might need a little bit of trimming to fit as each setup is slightly different.

They are $35.00 posted to your door.
