Yeah that’s fer enough then with the wheels, I just completely winged it and put a bid on a set I found on eBay from a Gold Coast tyre shop and suprisling I was the only 1 to bit and got them at the opening price

 

they where ordered from China and not sure if it’s true or not but apparently only a hand full made,  apparently he ordered 9 sets to fit Commodores, dont know what brand they are or nothing as nothing is printed on them beside 20-8.5 on the back and a tiny sticker that said made in China, boxes where white with a symbol Iv never seen before and a small sticker with rim size, width, off set PCD and that was it

 

They are nothing special but they do the job for me

iv had people ask me what they are and I don’t know lol, I know my car to great lengths and know every aspect of it but don’t know anything about the rims on it lol

 

nice clean bay will suit this nicely and TK is a good choice to build it

still goin blower ?

thats some dam expensive wheels when it already has nice wheels on it

Yeah foward would work nicely

 

yeah i see they are not shrouded on the pwr radiators and doesn’t look the best designer but they do seam to work, surely a good shroud designe would work better though

 

yeah Iv have heard how it does mess with flow having spaces between them, was just a idea with second fan between them but I don’t really know how flow would work like that

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Yes could easly cut holes in the side radiator supports, could also have the 2 hoses coming foward and just go around and under the rails

 

they only need to be 40mm or what ever size water pipes you run if you did cut holes

 

also so just out of curiosity have you thought about having just enough room between the 2 so you could fit a thermo fan to back of water to air radiator??

 

Wouldnt need it it all the time but there is the option if it is needed at times

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Where will your inlet and outlet be if the W2A is between the rails ?

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

pipes can have big affects on engines and where there torque is and so on

 

maybe the lengths of primary’s on 4 into 1 where completely wrong for where your power is in rpm range and the try Y just have a much better scavenge affect at the rpm for you

 

where they both 1 3/4 ?

 

I was quite worried when building myn that they wouldn’t perform well but despite all odds I picked up 200rwnm down at 2600rpm where myn should have very little torque and making same power but with 7 degrees less timing and 5psi less boost (same cfm of air flow though)

Oil FLOW is more important then pressure. If it’s done right it will be fine. Good stuff. I can’t open the photos. What power and torque did it make?

</del>

 

667.7 hp At 7300rpm

 

its still 667.6 at 7500rpm

 

nice stuff man, so that’s on e85 is it ?

Good stuff

 

they look good

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

What size is the out let on the collectors ??

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

The above happens when logged in on multiple devices

 

Samsung phone and apple hate each other, if you have short cuts on your home screen on both devices that are already logged in delelte them both then create short cuts that are of the forum that are not logged in, and if you go from one to the other make sure you close the page down

 

I get it some times

 

now I know exactly what your talking about and I was wondering the same as Holden heads are ment to be 3/4 inch length but it seams racing plugs from either company don’t come in this and are 0.708 thou witch is about 1.2mm short

 

i have in ngk in none projected tip the options of

b8efs

br7efs

only difference is the 8 is none resistor witch in 8 is normal

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Ok so still having trouble finding a list of there plugs but am getting there slowly

 

iv found AR474 witch is in the racing plug section

 

so thats equilevent to b8efs In NGK terms

 

so 14mm thread

5/8 hex head

0.704 reach

equilvent to 8 heat range in NGK language

and a non projected tip

non resistor

 

only thing I go I can find in a 7 heat range comparable is 103

 

thats got a projected tip though, the ar474 is the hottest of the racing plugs and has 2 colder plugs but I really really doubt I will need any colder then the ar474

problem is 7-8 heat range is where it bounces from resistor to none resistor so they are listed in different sections

 

what  autolite plug part number is it that you are using narva that is resistor, none projected and equilvent to 7 heat range to NGK ratings ?

 

All i I can find 103

Iv been looking and it would appear auto light is absolutely f#cked for trying to find a parts list with the relevant info to there plugs to choose a set

 

Only thing I can do is find a parts reference to find comparable plug to another company’s part number

 

that’s shit, it gives me the same auto light plug (103) for comparsion of  NGK tr6 plugs and br7efs

2 very different plugs, different heat and ones projected and one isn’t

 

 

I want to see there list of plugs so I can pick one and after using

them either choose a set hotter or colder depending on the plugs condition

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Yeah just had to check

 

Iv got big Ksport brakes and myn just worked perfectly with the disc and brackets and could not remember if the brackets had a specific side to be on or not

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

This is probley silly but I have to ask just to make sure

 

it can not be that the brackets are on the wrong sides ??

 

Does it work if the current  passenger side bracket is swamped over to  the drivers side calliper ??

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

No I have never looked at autolites

 

would have to search there parts to find a 8 heat range, to suit Holden engines and in a non protruding tip

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Yeah cool as

 

there is nothing saying projected tip is right or wrong with boost, lots do it

 

I have a had projected tips in myn as well and didnt notice any difference at all and worked perfectly well

are you running MSD 8.5mm super conductor leads?

 

All i have read that where using these and non resistor plugs had no problems at all, couple others have had issues with serial cable while tuning with lap top and eradic idles but not sure what leads they where using, had never heard of the brand before

 

believe ver some have had coils stuff out as well

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Gary we all know FI wins 

 

Stroked or FI, can only choose one

 

now that makes it harder

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Holly shit

 

is there any chance of getting your dollars back over this ??

 

And lastly could you go see a machinist and get them to make a set of brackets up ??

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

If it was red head vs blonde I would put money on the red head winning

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Yeah I’m a manual person as well, I’m well aware a correctly stalled auto is quicker on a drag strip when In a low 11 second car or faster but I figgered 99% of the time myn will be on the streets or a cruise or something so manual it is for me

 

must admite been passenger in a quick manual car is much more hair raising then been passenger in a auto
