Stops the diff from rolling on launch and hard acceleration.

So maintaing the geometry, pinion angle etc to maximise traction.

Not much of an update. Still waiting on engineer to free up some space at the shop. Then I’ll drop it in for the work. In the mean time, bit the bullet and purchased a Pro9 Stabilizer Bar kit.

Should help with the killer launches.

Back on the dyno? Did do tweaks? Or just finalising the tune?

Hows the intake tracking?

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

Mild cam. Not much lift, so it should not making the most of the l98 heads. Power sounds right. But seems like tune needs s tweak.

It’s amazing how much a strut brace actaully does.

Looking great mate. Any more photos of the raise battery area.

I have a machine shop at home so made my own.. There’s also a proper tool to do Reluctor changes, I winged that one and got it perfect.

we aren’t all that fortunate 😩

Yeah I only recently seen the reluctor tool also.

ITB’s are always a bit more complex, agree once the Airbox is done you’d be able to run a system much like mine to good effect, it’s just a fact of life these engine breathe a little heavy under power and the stock system just won’t flow the volume required so they push the dipstick and can weep at the rear main.. I even went to the effort of turning up an alignment tool for the rear seal housing..

Apparently there is a proper tool so you can aline the rear main properly. I winged it and the bloody thing wept.

It’s something that’s always neglected and over looked. 99.9% people just top it up.

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

I’ll be going -12 off the valve covers also. I’ll be getting some billet ones.

U can get billet valley covers. If it fits and works you could Weld a -12 bung to it also.

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

I Was always under the assumption that the valley should run to a seperate oil/air seperate and back into the system then have the valve covers government a seperate system. One has to breath out will the other sucks fresh air in?

no doubt Ian will know this a lot better then me. I was gunna make a catch can with a hidden filter going to atmosphere and then a fake like running back to the intake which was actaully internally blocked off.

^Yea right, no he hasn’t tried it yet, will post when he has. So seems my lift pumps may have been causing issues for a while. Was chatting to my Chemistry analysis mate about whats actually occurring last night, and apparently what happens is the main pump hasn’t been supplied enough fuel so it cause a low pressure on the suction side, that low pressure causes some of the fuel to vaporize. Basically thats not good tune wise, or really anything wise tbh. Now the new lift pumps in its cured, I also am pretty certain that’s been the cause of my fuel pump noise issue after about an hour of cruising, basically the main pump hasn’t had nice fuel flowing through lubricating it and keeping it cool, but will test that once i have it back. On a sour note there apparently was some drops of trans fluid dripping out the bell housing on the last dyno run….Don’t like the sounds of that, one step back one step forward.

</p>
This is why I mentioned be weiry that new lift pump doesn’t flow much as if that’s not up to the task the same thing can happen.

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

Bloody better not.

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

If your gunna bleed the brakes maybe drain and completely re fill the fluid

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

U can get vs bracket which is reversed and you see the studs. I hate that.

Im gunna buy a lowe fabrication billet bracket. Ive sent him photos and spoken to him. He will mod it so it’s got that spacer built in.

I looked at relocating the stud but there isn’t a flat section on the tower to make it work.

In regards to bay. I’m welding the holes, and flattening off the battery tray ( not raising it) and give it a lick of paint. No smoothing towards and shit. Just welding holes. It will share the factory contours.

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

I would, since your going to the effort. If  it’s the factory window I think it’s easy to remove as they aren’t full sikaflexed in.

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

So I took Ian’s advised and sourced a Vz Booster and Master. Cue VZ Maloo setup.

Got it installed today. Was a bit shorter then the vt, but IMO a lot neater, being more compact and less complicated on the master it’s self.

The bracket was short so for now I made a spacer. I will be ordering a CNC bracket which I’ll mod when time comes.

Also finally got the bonnet cut properly and it now shut. Everything clears. JUST

This is clearance to the TB. I’m going to invert it so I gain more room.

When bay gets painted I’ll get painter to clean up the bonnet and paint it also.

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

Be weiry they don’t flow much.

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

4.00 mark

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

Looks good mate. My mate was looking to buy this a few years back. I can tell forgot that hand written spec sheeet haha
