Well,been a while since last update and i’m glad to be able to say it’s back on the road.Haven’t driven the ute for 18 months so it was good to get back behind the wheel if only for some short cruising.Everything is on and working except W/M,need to wire that up.This was the first time the new suspension had seen the road so after a quick string…[Read more]

Curious to know what head gaskets your using now and what your upgrading too Cometics?Have you got o rings?Also are you using bolts instead of studs or are you going to the bigger 1/2 inch studs in the centre?

Car looks great,should be able to put more of that power down now with those tyres.

Some small progress  and a few parts arrived this week so i thought i’d do an update.

6mm W/M line has been run to engine bay and metering valve is installed.Need to run 4mm line and T fitting to complete supply line.Pump relay fitted and wiring routed into cabin.Still need to wire majority of the electrical.

Had a 68mm core PWR radiator custom…[Read more]

A2A is always going to be the best choice if you don’t like maintenance and on going costs.As mine is a ute ,i had the opportunity to have a 20 litre tank($35.00 to fill at 50/50),and should last month’s of weekend driving and no need for fill ups on track days.Long drives would  be fine unless you plan on being on boost to get there,off or low…[Read more]

No problem,you need as much info as you can get before making a decision.Snow would be my choice from those two kits.

Both W/M and A2A will do a good job of reducing inlet temps but only one will give you a 110+ octane rating.It’s the spray’s ability to prevent/eliminate knock that persuaded me to install this system over a traditional intercooler set up.It has other benefits as well but this was the main reason for my choice.Iron heads,10.1 comp and boost on…[Read more]

Wow,didn’t think it cost that much.No wonder it’s not seen that often.

Nicely done,will look tidy once finished.For a few more dollars extrude honing would make it a decent manifold that looks better than stock.Depends on how far you want to go with the banana’s.

Those Race Products adj Watts links kits would be a nice addition to any live axle set up.Looked into these a while back,the owner was a good bloke,really helpful.

Car is first class.

Sounds like a couple of Mark 1 Escorts….Seriously though i can imagine the music it plays at 7k would be glorious,need to hear it on this latest dyno run.

Thanks for the positive replies,it’s been a longer process than i imagined,but hopefully it all comes together once tuned.

For me ,the best model before the HQ series.Well done.Love the tubs with the standard exterior and period paint colour.

No major updates to share  recently,just tidying up a few areas of the fibreglass and starting to sort out where the injection system will go.

Drilled and tapped for nozzle holders and IAT sensor.Also attached dash fittings for IAC and catch can return.Next is to make mdf templates for blower brace brackets and get them off to the engineers to…[Read more]

So true….but give an LS the v7 and cam spec you have and the fuel won’t stay long in the tank either lol.

You and me both,maybe while yours is on the dyno we could hear that induction your talking about.

Cheers for the feedback,that all sounds good, just need to get it finished.

The camshaft has been the a part of the existing engine that has had me thinking once boost is added. It will bleed boost at low rpm but i’m starting to think it will perform well once over 3000 rpm when the cam “comes on” and the blower is starting to make good…[Read more]

Also depends on intended use of engine.Mine is no longer a daily driver so i want it to give me a grin when i turn the key.Grumpy is good.

I’ll never use an LS engine,they just don’t get my attention,although i am aware of there advantages and excellent range of aftermarket parts.I chose an fg xr6 turbo as my daily and and believe it was the best…[Read more]
