Nice stuff Ian. Where at? What’s the racing calendar like. Obviously plenty of dates given you built a dedicated track car

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

nothing quite like Anal Intrusions 3.0 whilst taking the 3rd corner at 6300

 

haha. When’s next race meet?

Looking the goods now mate.

Just be wiery the paint on the headers will flake due to the temps.  If it’s in the budget I highly recommend ceramic coating.

She went back on the road January 2015. There is a slight difference between the VT/VX and VY/VZ sump. Improved have had a baffle for the VY/VZ sump for a while but it wouldnt fit a VT/VX sump, it was only recently that they released a baffle for the VT/VX sump.

 

ahh never new that. Wonder what the difference was

Heat soak is a good reason as to why the MAT sensor should be placed in the correct position also.

How u find the ASR baffle. I was looking at them but decided on the Improved racing in the end. I did however buy the ASR windage tray.

U can run a shield that protects it from the oil spray.

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

would depend on cams and fuel.

 

Have ve seen some boosted cars run 10.2:1. But they have some big overlap cams that bleed pressure and drop the dynamic comp. This is e85/meth sort of deal.

There is test and tune that weekend on the Friday and the Sunday as well. I wouldn’t stress to much.

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

I run everything in F when it comes to cars.

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

Used both the Pro Comp ultra lite and the sport comp liquid filled.

Never had an issue.

10-15mins it would of knocked and you SHOULD of heard it. Try get a mech gauge if you can. Not that the electro one should be playing up.

I like to prime my systems with the air compressor that way I know oil is completely throughout the engine.

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

Looks wickid man.

 

Not it a fan of the rims. It’s need some phat as Fark 15’s on the back to go with the American muscle theme.

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

Did you prime the system prior to firing it up?

Screw just the after market gauge straight into the oil pump. It’s very rare that an auto meter gauge fails.

Is it mech or elec gauge.

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

Id be suss on why the autometer gauge isn’t reading. Oil in the heads doesn’t necessarily mean it’s got adaquate oil pressure.

Any photos of the tub work inside the boot area?

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

The way I see it you don’t build a motor like this to just put around in. Some sported driving will be inevitable. Motor like this will like and want RPM so it’s going to have to rev to make the most of it.

IMO and what I did was sell the t5 for some decent coin and put that towards somthing you know won’t break.

each to own
