No spacers. Bonnet would be 5-10 from the underside of the group a scoop.
Throttle body had to be installed upside down to fit also.
January 18, 2018 at 8:50 am #25708Few more parts starting to arrive. Moroso Battery box came today as well as my OKC fuel rails. 👌👌👌
Car is going to mates house on weekend so we can get a start on the wiring side of things. 👌
January 16, 2018 at 11:04 pm #25706What made you go reverse?
January 15, 2018 at 5:35 pm #25694I would from either tuff car parts or aftermarket industries.

You could call these guys. THey sell the whole assembly inc a Walbro.
That corvette filter/reg goes outside the tank.
January 15, 2018 at 6:17 am #25687Yeah that makes a masssssssive difference. I never seen them before. Aside from the ones to suit the round carby type filters.
Do you know of a 5inch inlet filter but the equivelant size to yours?
Been doing some reading in the states and they are getting great gains by going 5 inch.
I’m piecing bits and pieces together. Got my MAF card and billet MAF Mount on route from USA.
January 15, 2018 at 6:13 am #25685I just brought what I needed. I couldn’t tell you what a complete kit has. But if it saves you the effort. Just get it and keep the extras for a rainy day.
Will you be assembling the Cam etc with the engine out?
Do you need a sump gasket? I may have one.

January 15, 2018 at 6:10 am #25684This is what i had to cut to fit the headers
What headers mate? That’s the first time I’ve ever seen anyone have to cut to make it work.
January 14, 2018 at 10:39 am #25678Looks good mate. What size intake you running. I’m chasing a pod like that. But in 5inch opening. How does that sock around it go?
January 13, 2018 at 8:45 am #25673Just picked up my radiator, heat exchange and headers from Race Coatings.
All got done in a ceramic thermal displacement coat. Come up killer and very well priced.
January 11, 2018 at 9:49 pm #25658Photos didn’t work mate. How’s engine tracking along.
January 11, 2018 at 9:46 pm #25657SOME awsome updates mate.
January 5, 2018 at 5:02 pm #25615Yep shit rule.
Had a big day today bay is ready for paint. Good mate Tony come past. Helped me remove engine and all the body parts. Also Sussed out the wiring etc and a plan of attack
Thankfully we removed the sump again just to double check everything I did last time it was out.
Turns out it was a big life saver. There was metal shavings in the sump from where the bolts have stripped the holes in the baffle kit.
THANKFUCK we caught it.
January 4, 2018 at 8:10 pm #25608Yeah goes over the limit. Of cubic inches to weight for boosted application.
January 4, 2018 at 1:19 pm #25600Standard clamps or stainless would work.
Plug sits in the fuel and prongs to the existing ones.
January 4, 2018 at 10:23 am #25595Your last dot point has been haunting me for 3 years haha.
You can always hose clamp the pump in place. Make sure it is at the correct height.
Then u can weld the clamp to the existing hanger so u know it won’t move with vibration.
January 3, 2018 at 9:50 am #25592I have just spent the last 2 nights reading through your build and all I can say is wow CAV!!!!! My hat comes off to you. So I am about to set off on a similar journey however not as hard core!!! I have a few questions for you all My Plans: VS LSA & T56 Combo. How big of a KFrame space will be required to reframe from utilising the group a toilet seat?
WILL NEED 50mm ID IMAGINE, if you have any chance of fitting stock hat
UNLESS U USE UGLY CTSV HAT IMO and then still use 30mm spacers
Will engineers sign off with KFrame spacers?
DONT KNOW IF THEY ARE LEGAL
Do you have a link to the caddie hats ?
NEGATIVE. WILL, NEED TO BUY FROM USA, AROUND $500isg
Parts I am currently thinking of using * tuff mounts thoughts? * GOOD
Pacies, thoughts? * EASIER
Astra power steering thoughts? * NEVER USED ONE
Gearbox mounts? *TUFF MOUNT WITH RUBBER MOUNT
W2A pump Brand recommendation *
SAME AS ME, I CAN SUPPLY BOUT $550 depending US dollar
Electrical A/c pump, any recommendations
DEPENDS IF LOW MOUNT OR HIGH
I Will definitely use PWR rad & Heat exchanger & Vz booster and master. Lastly if I am reading this correctly you will be engineering this as N/A? Thanks Daniel
I CAN GET YOU A PWR HEAT EXCHANGER THAT WILL FIT YOUR SHAPE ALSO
ABOUT $850ish
CANT engineer with blower.

January 1, 2018 at 9:34 pm #25588Can’t beat a quickly converter. Makes or breaks a combo.

January 1, 2018 at 8:33 pm #25586Hopefully this is In the sweet spot. I do plan on giving it some decent boost. Hopefully doesn’t flare it too much.
The bloke said there is plenty to move with the stator in this. So if it needs re adjusting in future it’s no big deal.
Hopefully in next couple weeks can have some decent updates.
December 28, 2017 at 3:15 pm #25581What’s your engineer said about running an Adjustabke Reg? I know some don’t like it.
