on the fuel economy thing I can gauntee a worked holden engine is absolutely fucked and on that principle alone If I was building a engine now it would be LS every day of the week

 

not ot only is a Holden 3 times more expensive to get decent power they are then 2 times more expensive to run once you are done

That’s my thoughts to cava

 

iv had my hand under my bypass valve and giving it a hard sharp rev and doin only sees A couple psi and bearly makes a noise when doin that compared to when driving and it actually builds up boost in the pipes

 

the old v2 blower use to do big woooosh should, now with v7 it’s more a sharp hard crack noise like a whip noise

 

i can can tell you that is a lot of air that comes out, so much it’s had me concerned if it would blow my plastic radiator shroud Into the radiator one day

 

infact its so much I have actually wondered if it would physically be able to travel down a 2 inch pipe of any distance like 600mm to the  intake or 2 metres to the exhaust with out having back pressure issues

 

grp A ute please let me know how it does go and if it gets any flutter noises at all as I’m very interested to know, never seen them actually plumbed back in but have heard it is a legal requirement

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

Are yep

 

iv wondered if it creates pressure flutter when it goes of when plumbed into air filter

 

a massive amount of air comes out at high rpm

 

i actually thought its ment to be plumbed into exhaust system but not sure that’s just what I thought

What’s with second pipe off that ??

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

Yeah i thought about that

<span style=”line-height: 1.5;”> </span>

<span style=”line-height: 1.5;”>Personally i think the restrictive part would be the filter its self </span>

 

My plan is to make a bit of a funnel so it scoops a lot of air into them side parts

 

I wouldnt make a full air box down in there especially using the inside of bumpa as a side of it

 

Doin  250km/h backing off i think it would probley blow that side of front end off its mounts

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

Yeah I just bodgied this up out of fibre glass

 

I just st made it out of cardboard and sticky tape then glassed over it

 

about 2 hours later glass was strong enough to hold its shape but allowed me to remove cardboard then I had a skeleton out of fibreglass to work from, had to cut a big chunk out of side as I have pipe work there

 

also wacked a bolt through it all to hold air filter in place so it has 20-25mm clearance the whole way around it</p>

Chucked the Monaro on the rollers just to see what it’s making

 

242.7 rwkw

 

not bud for a stock LS1 engine with exhaust extractors and OTR

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

What tyres did you put on it ??

 

Thats insanely expensive man

 

For about $500 more then the cost of these wheels i got adjustable coil overs, 356mm brakes all round with 8 and 4 piston callipers and my new semi forged wheels with 10 inch rears

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

Ar yep just had a look at the alloy bits holding rails in place

 

stuff changing that

 

but definetly change injector plugs over, them adapters are not known for there reliability

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

Expensive rims there, they look good

 

by the look of front and rear are they all 8.5 ??

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

Sean though you built this car with not much left unmodifyed on it

 

why dont you take them adapters and throw them in the bin

 

then set set up the fuel rails to sit lower onto the 3/4 length injectors ??

 

Or you you can just keep going and anodise them and I will just be quite

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

Either of them

 

irs7 say they come in 18 but don’t have details if they come in 10 inch or not so finding out as I kinda like them

 

if anyone knows other films that come in either 8 or 8.5 inch for front and 10 inch rear and must be 18inchs and must be big brake compatable

Was only able to get about 73 L with dual exhaust

 

myn goes all the way up to chassis rail at back of diff and all the way to back rail

 

to to remove harrop diff cover would be either a diff removal or tank removal

 

tank removal in myn is very easy

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

That’s good price Gary

 

honestly thought that that would of been more like $3k for yours

 

don’t worrie about thread hack

 

if I had it my way I would of just hacked my manta build with this one lol

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

My tank cost me $000 and $200 or so for walbro 460 pump

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

Poor thing is sitting waiting for new shoes  so haven’t driven it for few weeks now

 

yeah agree the stickers set it off nicely and suit it’s custom style

 

yeah back one is just scaled down to the height and length is what ever it worked out to be

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