    Had a bit of a tinker over the last few nights.
    Managed to paint up my PVC intake as well as my airbox. Think it’s looks a lot more finished. Just wacked a bung in it and that’s were my PCV system will vent too. I looped the 2 lines behind the engine and ran a single line to the air-box for the neatest way.

    MAF is also placed in the intake instead of the air-box like I was going to originally do.

    This should keep engineer happy.

    Too much. Id go the Holley Terminator X if I were to do it again. Significantly cheaper.

    Also if engineering laws are more relaxed for you I would go cable Tb also.

     

    However the factory ecu does make engineering simpler, otherwise I’d have a haltec in it.

    <p style=”text-align: left;”>Mate tony come past again today.</p>
    We made all the earths, run the alternator wiring as well as the start loom. All off it has been heat sleeved and double heatshrinked over the ends.

    Also managed to hook up the fuel system and do a full bleed. So it’s ready to roll. No leaks but I did cross connect one line. No big deal.

    The twin 460’s move some serious fuel.

    Not long now. If the coils were wired and leads done we could of started it today!!!

    Its got a HSV BASE tune already in it. Just needs a tweak and she will be good to go. I’ll be engineering it with the blower.

    I didn’t think you could engineer with blower has something changed ,, Have you had a chance to check the angle that your motor sits back , (was on brothers Facebook as I don’t have one )

    would like to know what your motor sits back the angle in degrees is it 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 degrees

    I have mine set up now mounts are all welded and it’s 3.5 degrees just seeing what others have with off the shelf mounts Cheers, if Gary reads this he was going to check too
