Cheers it has come up well now just need to hunt for some more HP without killing the motor lol.

Im a huge fan of the vs i like my cars clean and without the tacky add on’s ( i have done the whitewalls but thats it ) as well.

You dont see many clean ute’s getting around much these days.

Thought i would finally get around to putting some shots up of the ute at Summernats.

Yeah definately looking at it.

Ive decided to drill 3.25 inch holes either side of the bay and weld in some v band flanges you normally use to clamp IC pipes together, to finish it off.

Im only running 2.5 inch IC pipe so should have plenty of clearance.

Love this build and updates.

Its giving me some ideas on intercooler setup for my ute. should be something different with the choice of colour when finished.

Been following your build when ever you update it it will be a nice clean when finished.

So true about finding nos parts if you need it and can justify the price just buy it i say.

Gods country at husky mate, heading there next week for a break.

Thats pretty good numbers with only 11psi.

I might start making a few calls to see what it will cost to change pulleys etc.

 

[HDN05LParticipant Canberra ACTVS Olympic Edt 383 stroker Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 289]

Yeah that is something i have thought about just didn’t know how much the motor could handle without a rebuild.

[HDN05LParticipant Canberra ACTVS Olympic Edt 383 stroker Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 289]

Great advice always appreciated cava. Cheers

Ok so i have upgraded the diff to 3.7s what stall would be best suited and what are the major differences in changing the stall?

I guess from what i have read is that the dual planes will help with increasing the rpm flow from 600 – 6000 rpm but how would that work in with a sc that comes on at 3000rpm?

Would i be just wasting money for no gain?

Standard 304, cam has been swapped out for a senator cam not sure on specs.

Currently running 9psi with current Raptor centrifugal charger.

Non intercooled.

What others specs do you need?

Once or if you put plates on it, it will look good with the body colour.

[HDN05LParticipant Canberra ACTVS Olympic Edt 383 stroker Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 289]

Good question im in the same boat.

[HDN05LParticipant Canberra ACTVS Olympic Edt 383 stroker Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 289]

Nice to see it coming back to life, keep the updates coming 

[HDN05LParticipant Canberra ACTVS Olympic Edt 383 stroker Ute View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 289]

I looked at this when i set up my Raptor charger but it just wasn’t going to make a huge difference. I currently run 9psi with a cool air fan plumbed in to help out.

It can be done put as you said it will need some surgery and some playing around.

Thanks for making this a great site to hangout and get some great ideas and answers to some not so simple questions.

Yeah im not to worried these guys have been around 20 years in canberra and they have a good name.

Either way as you said it will be a good change from the 3.08 gearing and shitty lsd.
