Have the adj caster arms and kmac strut tops.Max of +8 caster.Wheel will still be forward of guard center if you want the most caster possible.

Yeh 100 % is a safety concern,although ive tested my mix and it burns’easily at 44/56 w/m which is 50/50 by weight.

Your qtr mile time should improve out of sight with the new rubber.

Good to get some cool air into those ITB’s.

How are you going to stop water from getting to the panel filter’s?

Interesting to see the different flow rates. Were the injectors tested with gasoline or the test fluid?

I see your looking at a 50/50 mix now instead of 100% meth.Why the change?Looking for more det control with more boost in the future?

How’s the power to the road with the new tyres?Feel like you have got another 100 hp lol.

This is what i would be doing.

It could be done in epoxy with a carbon fibre top layer for around $500.00 if you had a crack yourself.You have the bottom section so the height/width and length are sorted.I could give you the throttle position  measurements and your right to start a mold.As it’s a custom plenum you could place the throttle’s…[Read more]

Thanks.The Vortech makes a huge difference.Worth all the effort in the end.

Good work.You’ll love the T56 behind the 383.What diff gears are you thinking?I have 4.11’s and wouldn’t go any lower.If my gearbox ever comes out i’d replace 5th and 6th gears with shorter ones. 100kph on the highway and it’s still under 2000rpm.My  camshaft needs to be above that to make for smooth cruising in top gear.

No happy dyno Cava,it actually has the opposite reputation of producing conservative numbers.

The problem is my reduced capacity to recollect the correct info from a quick conversation as i get older lol.

Confirmed by the tuner…695rwhp on 15 psi E85  224-228 cam, manual transmission.

Also found out today the VF Ute had a helping hand with a…[Read more]

For the LS boys on here.

Mates 400 ci Maggie blown VF Ute with cam on E85 just made 830 rwhp.Very impressive.

My tuner also mentioned a VH he just tuned with a stock LSA with cam only made  750 rwhp on E85.This same bloke installs the LSA in Nissan patrols for customer’s and win’s traffic light duels towing a trailer lol.As much as i like old…[Read more]

All electrical  tidied up and tray cover back in.Also changed oil again and checked filter.No nasties to be seen just the usual wear and tear after a good dyno rev.Oil level was a little low,will have to keep an eye on it.

Finished tray area with reservoir for W/M system.

What was the final result on fuel issue, is it sorted now?Interested to know what the problem was.

Mate this thing will smash my power level.Can’t wait to see it on the road.

Agree.Sometimes the simple things are best.For me this would stand out more than the same era HSV…..well maybe not a SV 5000,have a soft spot for those.

Haven’t seen the inside of the banana’s before,pretty ugly entry’s.Solid casting.

Thank’s Manta.I’ll have to get back to you on that as i’m not sure.He did mention 13 degree’s but i can’t remember if that was before or after we reduced timing for the final safe tune.Matt has given me a USB with saved info from the tuning runs.Once i can work out a way to access the file i can confirm timing numbers for you.

You had asked me…[Read more]

Cheers Eden.Fuel supply was was one of the easier items to sort out.

I think there may be room for a further drop in IAT’s as i calculated jet sizes on lower boost and power levels to what i ended up getting.Every psi of boost gained reduces the pressure at the nozzles by the same amount i.e. pump pressure is 150 psi -15 psi boost = 135 psi at…[Read more]

Thanks.Yeh it was good to see it all work as well as it did.I was quietly confident in  the benefits of the W/M injection system but without any feedback from other Aussies who have installed these kits i was still uncertain of the final dyno results.Boost response is instant and i love the sound of the V1 mixed with the twin 3 ” exhaust.Has a…[Read more]

Time for another update.

Fuel system was upgraded with another 044.This is set to come on at 6.5 psi by a ground activated Hobbs switch.Both flow into a Y piece then into the stock 5/16 fuel line.While i was there i tidied up the electrical/fuel lines and gave the surge tank a coat of paint.None of it is seen once cover is back in place but i…[Read more]

Great looking engine,plenty of effort gone in to it.Looks like it will make excellent power.

I was very close to installing the same dry sump set up on mine,no room for it now.

My cam is nearly identical except it’s ground on a 108 lsa.Good street cam with plenty of mid range grunt,especially with those heads you have.In a light VK it will be a…[Read more]
