I asked Chris from Norwood Automatics the question – he said it could be a jammed piston, broken piston spring or something caught in a ball check-valve…  Basically there isn’t one thing to look at.

In other news, I picked up my trans from the boys who once again looked after me – great price, great quality and great guys.  Pick up my c…[Read more]

Grant’s doing my 4l60e trans for the VK as I type this.  I’ll pose the question to him when I pick it up tomorrow and let you know what he says HDN05L..

One of my favorite builds on this forum…!!

It is

Might be a good excuse to drag the HR out and cruise over there…

If I do, I’ll be sure to come and an introduce myself

All good mate. 

On a boosted application I am not surprised that there wasn’t much in it – lets face it, 1.6hp/ci for a turbo application isn’t exactly wringing the neck out of it and the banana manifold kinda suits a boosted application with it’s big plenum.

There’d be a fair bit more in a DP manifold for a NA application which was ki…[Read more]

My point is if someone wanted the stock look of the banana manifold, they could replicate what he’s done in terms of DP manifold, elbow and TB covered with a gutted banana top and stock engine covers.. 

This car used a dual plane manifold with elbow and single throttle body covered up with the gutted top of an original banana manifold…  (and a turbo to run 9.9’s)

Looking good..  you must be excited it’s getting so close.

Out of interest, what’s been done to the engine?

Yup, no problems doz..

‘My’ modules are just rebuilt units as per above.  No silly claims about extra power – just a much more reliable unit that works as per the factory’s intended design which is more than enough for most applications.

PM for details.

So loving this project and the progress, albeit it too slowly for me…  I just find myself checking in for updates. 

And I love how the end result and plan includes your wife and you cruising Oz in something you built.

Pity I didn’t see this earlier Manta as I repair these modules – $70 for most units.

I perform an initial inspection and bench test, then stripped down the unit, the PCB is ultra-sonically cleaned, all solder joints reflowed and wearing parts replaced and a new MOSFET driver transistor fitted.  Good for another 20+ years.

The units this guy is s…[Read more]

Oops…  well mum is a nice lady and a smart move staying your folks.

I love the VS..!!

Many thanks Exec24..!!  Exactly what I was looking for..

On another note, you’re lovely wife noted that it was a good thing you weren’t home to see my VK or “you’d want another car and your already have 2”
