Thanks fellas i have just finished putting the new heads and intake manifolf back in.

Biggest pain was the custom accelerator cable i made up which runs through the centre of the intake manifold to keep it neat.

Tomorrow’s job is run the intercooler pipe and move the purge solenoid out of the road.

Yeah those issues had crossed my mind doz10 .

I ran it around last summer with the air con on and it was very stable even even on the 40 deg days.

The 18″ thermo i have seems to handle it well. If all else fails i have 2 other sizes of intercooler i can put in.

From what is was told it promotes better drop in temps and less loss in psi.

But to be honest they all do the same thing i just wanted the biggest i could get without cutting the car up.

Gotta be happy with that.

Something about a freshly painted bay, the only problem is everything that goes back in has to be at the same standard.

Nice progress.

Just need to spray it black and it will disappear nicely.

ok so after some long thinking i decided to go with A2A intercooler first then if i want to i can add some W/M injection later on.

I researched and spoke with a few people who said to go higher  instead of wider for the cooler.I have actually gone with a cooler for a FG falcon it is 500h x 450w x 55 thick.

All i had to do was remove the AC…[Read more]

would they both seal well enough on the block even if it hasnt been machined?

Looking great nice work on getting it lined up.

I was thinking something similar to the brush seals just trying to figure out how to mount it.

Very tidy rig mate, gold on white looks killer.

It would be interesting to see how he goes with his setup.

At least with his come manifold he wouldn’t get as much heat soak as the bananas.

Someone’s having a busy weekend. Definitely looking forward to seeing the finished job.

Wow you read my mind, vs 355 ute i was going to pm you pretty much what you have written with pros and cons. Appreciate you taking the time to write it up.

Im leaning towards either Snow or Aem w/m injection. Im looking at what fail safes they both offer and the snow seems to intergrate easier with a fall back tune which i can store in my ems…[Read more]

Wouldnt running meth injection cure some of the heat soak issue?

Yeah i did look into it and Cava is spot on $900. Not really interested in.spending that type of $$$.

Just looking at water/meth injection kits at the moment. Weighing up intercooling pipes holes blah blah blah or meth injection for probaby a better result.

Yea it is currently running a sc without intercooler but now that i want to run a cooler for ease of piping and less restrictions decided to front mount the TB.

The sc is getting a new billet impeller and bearings to bring on the power starting around 2500rpm.
