Getting closer…..

Downpipe done

Intercooler pipes done

Gonna notch the floor, (rear passenger side) to tuck the center section of exhaust as high as possible.

Not done much over last couple of weeks, back into it though.

Firewall notched for downpipe, and started building exhaust.

Last section done 4″ up and over the diff, 4″ muffler.

Pretty sure your turbo is about maxed out.

mates forged cast 6.0 wouldn’t make any more than low 400rwkws through a TH400 and 3500 converter with the same turbo (pump gas) going from 12 to 18 psi only netted about 20 kw.

Testing exhaust manifold back pressure pre turbo would tell the story.

But where its at is still gonna be plenty fast,…[Read more]

Good job , That should be a bit of fun with the TH 400.

Not sure what regulations you have to deal with, but have heard of VL radiator support being used.

i chopped mine out and made something from scratch to suit.

You could try some poly air bags inside your existing springs, then you can just pump them up when loading up the car.

245s on 9.5″ rims must be pretty dam stretched…

looks like you need 9″ rims or narrow diff and mini tubb.

I have a mate that is building a tube chassis Monaro with a 640 cu twin turbo Steve Morris engine, will be around 3000hp that will be complied and street legal here in NZ

This car will easily comply

Haha yes,

but this car will be street legal here in NZ, and will need to have wastegate plumbed back to get certed.

Coated the manifolds and crossover with VHT Flameproof paint, baking it on in the BBQ then will apply titanium heat wrap.

I used the “Bel Air” engine mount and starter relocation kit which was designed around the V6 K frame and power steering, it uses V6 mounts which would be fine for an NA build, but I upgraded to V6 billet mounts for added strength.

I believe the V6  power steering rack is not as bulky as the VK/VL rack giving more clearance for headers (not…[Read more]

I wouldn’t recommend a Z grip for a boosted car

My clutch never slipped, just went bang .

A two step will produce boost off the line resulting in much more power and load being transmitted through the clutch and drive train especially on sticky tyres.
