Good stuff

 

Road trip coming up soon

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

It is with a few things thats for sure

 

I wish 2 years ago i knew what i know today

 

But lets be honest, the switches looked gay and it will be ten times neater with only a couple up at the old ac control panel

 

Wiring is a million times better and this time im happy

And as gary says i to believe it takes a step up for F/I set ups as what iv found out that I put above is for N/A set up

 

But still after others oppions on what they would use and why running a set up like this

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

Thats the absolute bare baisics

 

Its gets a hell of a lot more complercited then that

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

From what i can gather its calulation between peak torque at what rpm and CI of engine

Peak torque been at

4700rpm in 355comes is about 1 7/8

3600 rpm or below 355 is more like 1 3/4 and can go even less if its peak torque is at 2500 rpm and

 

A 304 engine would be less again

 

My torque climbs all the way to 6000rpm and is still on the rise

A 355 peak torque been 5000 + comes in at a fly hair less then 2 inch and over 5200 rpm is 2 inch and higher continues getting bigger

 

The same 3600 rpm in 454 would be more like 1 7/8

 

But yours gary hits torque at 2200 so 1 7/8 will be big and may benefit more from 1 3/4

 

If you go bigger cam and raise the torque line then the bigger pipes will work more effictevly

 

Correct me if im wrong as this is just what iv been able to gather

So I’m continuing on my fix up stuff inside my car, all my stupid switches are gone and this is now smoothed done and ready for either paint  for stereo part and/or suede witch ever I decide to do on gear surround

 

and because I no longer have a/c or a heater or a fan or ducts it seams pretty useless to have the switches there for it so I did this

I do have a couple switches I’ll be using here next to stereo, such as thermo fan over ride, they are controled from ecu but I have a over ride, and fuel cut of so if I every get a leak I can cut fuel and it will conk out and depressurise lines, also a switch to turn the lights on and off the gauges as gauges at night can get annoying when run straight of the lights

Suppose it all comes down to how cranky you want it and where you want your rpm range to be

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

If I was building a street user engine I would agree but myn is not street user

it’s a rip tearing off it’s head high reving engine

 

have a look at my dyno graph, that is 6500rpm at the top dot and this was the 4th power run and still blowing black smoke so it should make power till 7000rpm

 

all my torque is up in the rpm range so that’s where Im focusing on

 

I’m not interested in the area lower 4000rpm, it just is what it is down there

 

all my calulations point to 1.9 or 2 inch primary’s in about 34 inch length

 

getting this length right is where I’m goin to spend all my effort, And from what I can gather using 1 7/8 inch for first 8 inches and 2 inch the rest of the way seams to suit this best

 

I haven’t seen collectors yet but I hope the have a bit of a choke down then back to 3.5 inch and if they don’t I might modify them so they do

 

I’m not in any way doubting you this is just what I have found in my reshearce

 

im interested in knowing what you think would be the optimum size for this type of combo

 

and thank you very much for 1 inch info and O2 position same as factory exhaust manifold on a ls1

 

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

What size would you suggest delco wizard for this sort of power between 3000-7000 rpm ??

 

And nd can anyone tell me how far down the pipes the LS O2 sensors like to be ??

And how close a EGT sensor should be to head port ?

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

What do you declare as low down torque ?

I dont get boost till 3000rpm and has no power below that so not after torque below that rpm

having 1 7/8 for first 8-10 inches then 2 inch after that is what quite a few have said would be about the perfect size for 800-1000 hp and leaves me room for down the track if I go a torque power block and throw all I can at it

 

this is entire set up was not built for low torque, it’s all mid range to top end power

 

I was also advised by Daren him self and others to go with 3.5 inch collectors over 3 inch running this power level

There a prick of a thing

 

iv had like 3 sets jammed over my time

iv tryed every thing from multi grips and getting Arnie to come help squeeze them on, you must a good set of multis for this, not the old stuffed out set in a water filled tool box

 

to using a blow torch trying to heat the nut

 

most of the time is all about getting the open end spanner on the right way, 1 way it will strip easier and the other way it will grip more and getting the revolution of wheels in right spot and applying hand brake

 

its just a prick but persistence gets it

 

 

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

Fixed it

 

carnt be loged on with Samsung phone and iPad at same time, them two company’s don’t get along real well lol

 

cars rs looking bloody awesome, I’m always watching from a distance on this one

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

Are problem solved

 

this is why it won’t keep me loged in on my devices

 

each time I go onto this site on either iPad or Samsung phone it has unloged me and I have to log in

 

Samsung and Apple hate each other with a passion and I realized this when I first got talked into getting a Samsung when my iPhone5 contract was up

 

with  I messages turned on the iPad it converts it to iMessage and Samsung doesn’t get it so you get home and see messages on iPad and not phone from all apple uses so needed to turn it off and if I’m loged in on Samsung phone on this site apple gets screwed over lol

 

IT wars

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

Samsung phone was loved on before and now it’s not

 

did that change anything

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

Doin a test of samsung 5 s phone

 

Did that work

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

<p>Not that I know of, tryed all setting up top, I’m on iPad, I’ll try throwing it but no guaranties that will work either lo,  </p>

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

<p>Can you see the <p> ever time I try to skip a line and start and finish off every sentence ?? </p>

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

<p>Yes I carnt shake it, </p><p>If I </p><p>add some </p><p> </p><p>spaces </p><p> </p><p>it gets </p><p> </p><p>real bad </p><p> </p><p>lol</p>

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

<p>Looking good </p>
