I more meant im sure there are requirements like how close they can be to exhausts etc. I was thinking this is something you might need to consider when making them up.

Looks neat, Gary was this something that needed to be considered engineering wise?

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

Glad to hear mate, might be also worth speaking to them about what sort of stuff engineers require in this stuff

 

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

Yeah hoppers stoppers are good to deal with go there. Holmart could well be the rudest people I have ever dealt with in the auto industry lol

 

Might also be worth talking to hoppers stoppers about engineers look for as well in braking systems

I absolutely love my revshift mounts, I have the blue trans mount and green street/strip engine mounts (http://www.revshift.com/product-p/pmm-vtt.htm) they do transfer some vibrations to the cab, however they really help you feel in tune with what the motor is doing, aswell as holding the motor nice and solid in place.

 

They look very simular to a vs auto gearbox mount wonder if they are dont suppose you know. Be interesting to see how harsh they are just the trans mount on its own.

That place has some shocking feedback wouldnt touch them.

 

 

 

Holmart are rude to deal with but their products are sound

No engineering in that, exhaust,  tail shaft, custom loom?

Anyone managed to get cruise working and the trip computer for fuel average working with this?

Noticed a few mentions of guys needing leather embossed hsv gear knobs.  This guy makes them and they look better than genuine

And nice power things coming along well

I suppose it comes down to how much you can do yourself and if you want it engineered or not budget wise. And you can always paint it later on anyway.  Interesting is has a vh bonnet mould on a vk not seen that before.

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

Can the top of the trumpet cover be left on top rather than attached to the bonnet or wont that work design wise?

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

Shame to see that happen. So will you keep cruise control on the new one?

 

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

Be cool if you did an intake for ls series engines into vn-vs as well. That pics of air from the front like an OTR.

Could you use a urethane  instead of screws to make it look neater?

 

 

Love the cad work and design ..

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

Thats not good lucky it was found. Considered a larger air filter to fill that opening more?

 

 

You going to all holden day ?

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

Very nice ute mate .. Came up nice after a clean. You going to get it painted?

 

Would make the old 5.0lt feel pretty slow in comparsion.

 

 

And  this might help

Not really Sands it would just be circulating the already hot air, I’ll hold off and see if the last round of changes fixes it or not, If not I can more the PCM inside the car if needed but I’d prefer to leave it where it is (getting lazy) if it’s just a case of the other PCM being faulty.. Thought about a Vent/scoop just above it but the car get’s used in some really bad conditions so not really keen on channeling water/mud into the engine bay. ditto on running a duct to it..

 

Holy shit.. Get the karcher on it?

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

Could you rig up a fan to the pcm to test the theory?

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

So much thought going into this.. Im confident it will come up nice. Be interesting too see what sort of intake temps you are getting before and after.  You still looking to vent the rear of the bonnet with early commodore rear vents?

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

Coming along well. So much development in this car. Id be putting some heat wrap on the base of the intake to stop heat soak from the radiator especially.
