The engine shouldn’t be too aggressive so I hope not.

The factory cats purely for engineering. I also have 100cpi on the exhaust system.

Are you planning on adding a coolant expansion tank for the cooler IC system like the guys in the US are doing to increase the total coolant volume?

ive got a 15L ice tank in the boot. IMO the IC system is as good as it gets without going into the interchiller sort of setups. I done a fair wack of reasarch on what the yanks are using. This is pretty much on part with some of the fastest. Not to sound like a wanker lol

Yeah the ice tank in the boot is the best option Most of the yanks are fitting a tank in the engine bay, it increases coolant volume but is still subject to engine bay heat.

I went boot for simplicity. Funny you say that. One of the forums im on a guy does a lot of back to back testing. Trunk vs bay tank. There was no difference. Ambient heat didn’t effect it all that much.

 

I dont know why they do post and pre cat. It would be something ecu related.

2 pre cat. 2 after

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

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

Whats next Renno?

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.

1 7/8 headers and full twin 3inch. Should sound good. Hopefully

 

soon as headers are done it goes straight to painters to get bay done

You can see where it’s been cut and smoothed. It’s actually the bumper.

We got updates Kunce!!!

Big shout out to mate tony. Helped me pull all the wiring under the stereo today. Also fixed some minor issues that needed attending. We got the starter motor in as well as torqued up all the front suspension.

Thursday car goes to fabricator and gets the headers and Exhaust made.

Engine loom. After 27weeks should be hear by end of month too.

No wiring makes it a hell of a lot neater. Front body panels are back on properly too.

Looks mint with its stealth cooler. 😁

Has brenton said anything about the crank? From memory the aren’t center balanced or somthing like that.

Good for decent revs?

You have to admit though you have a propensity of stringing together select words which seem to irritate some users and you know we live in a very PC society.

No problem.

For some one reason the Forum is behind on Tapatalk. So I search everything via safari (iPhone) and then if I want to post a photo I just on Tapatalk and search the thread and post.

What rockers you going to go? I want to use Crower stainless ls3 rockers. Not too keen on the aluminium type for a street car. But I can get the Comp cam aluminium set for about $1500.

without looking back, I think Gary has ls7 style heads. They are different rocker to ls3 correct?

Wouldn’t trust factory rockers with trunnions?
