beautiful build ....also waiting to see some vids / results

[meminto]

Thanks for the comments guys

I have no internet at home at the moment, however i have pulled the finger out and finished off more this weekend gone..

We had a break in a couple of weeks before moving house, with over ten grand worth of electrical gear + other gear stolen, so I have now purchased a digi comcorder as part of the insurance..

I have really pulled the finger out now, gotta pick up the last of the fittings for the oil cooler today, changed some positioning of the nos solenoids and I have run the main power throught to the fron to fthe car form the battery in the back..

I have recieved some new gauges through shift (in australia) and sourced a boost gauge that can read past 25psi (up to 40) although I would highly doubt I will push it into the realms of that area, unless I am still making power, who knows.. but needed something to display at least 30psi..

I have also setup centrafuse to handle the comforts in the cabin, although I haven't installed the computer in the car yet.. But I can easily launch the nistune program from within centrafuse so it looks like a good bit of kit as far as front ends go..

All in all, I should be ready to run in and tune very soon...

I will have some more photos later on, hopefully should have the internet setup this week..

cheers

Serious hotness on this front.

[bradt]

Hotness is an understatement.

[s13redmon]

I love watching this build progress, the car and engine both look amazing, I can't wait to see some numbers to make me even more jealous lol

[meminto]

Finished some more work off this weekend..

All the sensor leads are now rerouted and hooked up, looks much neater than it did...









And this shot I like... lol



Cheers

[ca18detgabby]

sooooooo HOT!



cant wait to see this one fire up.

[meminto]

Cheers gabby, not much left to do now... hoping to have it registered, tuned and drivable by June 16..

[themadscientist]

It's got so much power it appears to be warping the space time continum there.

[exacyzm]

That looks absolutely fantastic. Very nice work.

[meminto]

lol, now I just need to find a flux capacitor..

ebay to the rescue lol...

[meminto]

Thanks mate

[meminto]

As an update, I am part way through making the exhaust system, but the motor is looking more and more complete now...









I am sourcing the alloy for the cooler piping this week including clamps very similar to wiggins clamps and will make a start on the mounting for the coilpacks this weekend..

Cheers

[Ryan1200]

Nice build mate. Page 3 looks like you upgraded your fuel pump wiring is it fuel rated?

[meminto]

Thanks mate

Yep, the lift pump is a walbro 342, I upgraded the wiring as a precaution...

Cheers

[Ryan1200]

Where abouts did you get your fuel safe wiring from? I upgraded my intank cabling couple years back with special hazardous chemical rated cable, 2months down the track i started having leaning out issues so i pulled the intank pump to find the cable had no insulation on the cable. Think i got lucky it didnt short when the fuel level was low...

[ca18detgabby]

hey mem, can you post the link to growly or w/e it is that makes those CAS mounts. I want one SOOO bad right now. ...... and I lost the link I had.

[meminto]

http://www.growly.com.au/

But a couple of things i have discussed with a mate about it that you need to be wary of before you buy..

1) You will need to sort out a mounting bracket of some kind for the cas wiring, it sits very close to the cam gear...

2) The tension bearing is wide open, may cause issues with foreign objects if not careful, I have a stone gaurd to bolt in so my risk is minimal, but others remove it (the one underneath the cross member)

Cheers

[meminto]

I actually finished off some interior work today, rather than spending time under the car or over the bay..

Its all sitting loosely at the moment, I gotta finalise a couple more things before I can hook the battery up and check connections etc..





Cheers..
