Hey Ian how did you mount your heat shields just can not really see in photo’s

I wonder if some one has modified the intercooler inlet and outlet moved to the back of the zl1 lid like the ctsv lid without using the ctsv lid

if you read stuff from the states where 95% of the ctsv lids are , they are not as efficient, and I think the intercooler brick is smaller so a loss in power to some degree but depends on what else has been done to motor

ahh autos

Dam what a pita the joys of cars

yes and just enough room for a bigger blower maybe down the track

will look good either fg or fgx  ,, fgx is longer I am surprised it quite low assume would stick out more still have thermal plates to put on between heads and blower manifold

I only did the minimum for now I can trim more later when I have things fitted

they are the xyz front coil over struts and top plates Plus no idea how they go as never driven on them

they are the xyz front coil over struts and top plates

I just downloaded an app on my phone

Got the A/c belt sorted will have to wait until going to see if works ok ,, put my vb bonnet on and cut a hole for the blower does not stick up much at all bonnet bulge should be easier

would like to know what your motor sits back the angle in degrees is it 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 degrees

I have mine set up now mounts are all welded and it’s 3.5 degrees just seeing what others have with off the shelf mounts Cheers, if Gary reads this he was going to check too

I didn’t think you could engineer with blower has something changed ,, Have you had a chance to check the angle that your motor sits back , (was on brothers Facebook as I don’t have one )

That’s awesome work cava only four and a bit years I have a long way to get to that stage ,do you still need to tune it , and take blower off for engineering

Nice Ian , and I just learnt a new word from you apathy ,, my apprentice is a nerd for words and numbers so going to use this one, Cheers always learning

I think it looks good and tucked up out the way on my gold vk the dam thing hung down pita

Engine and gearbox mounts all done hopefully that’s it went right back to plumb bob down from sills both sides drew two lines parallel and squared a front line on the floor got the centre and made sure everything was parallel lucky i did it as was sitting 11mm out of parallel , engine and box are 7mm of centre
