an update to the transmission side of things.
The calibration seems to be working well, I'd say it's at 80%
6th gear hooks up now, and I just need to get it to hang on a bit better,
All in all,...
I have got an electrical guy on the hook to tidy up the wiring, and by that time the trans should be done and dusted.
So a few more weeks me thinks.

Yes, I was referring to the Astra pump. It's not a viewpoint thing, just a flow in l/min thing. Wanting to know if the Astra unit will drive both at the same time. Do you know the specs of the Astra...
Hi Pee Bee
Have you thought about the aux electric pumps capacity to run the steering and the brakes?
I talked to Ultimate Power Steering, and they said you'd need 12l/m flow and the electric...

with COVID and a family member passing away, the Ute has been on the back burner.
but, 'tis a new year, and now its time to press on.
did the drivers...
looks to me that things are working out finally for you PB.
good to hear that the engine is smoother, thats got to be a good thing.
your rpm at 100kmh is remarkably low for the gearing, you'd be...
that would actually be great
Thanks again Pee Bee for the info.
I'm assuming that you are running that bracket and spring with the supercharger then?
Question guys:
how long is your throttle return spring?
I'm having issues trying to get a reasonable feel on the pedal, it is currently way too strong, and I suspect that the geometry is all...
Hi guys,
Looking at getting some new carpet for the ute.
Was wondering if the 1998 to 2005 ute floor is the same as a 2008 ute?
reason I ask, is on the Knox Auto Carpet web site, the listing...
Hi Pee Bee,
no the fitting at the rear on the manifold next to the super charger, for boost pressure measurement.

OK, got a question for all you Super Charged guys, (I'm looking at you Pee Bee)
What is the thread size at the rear of the manifold to plumb in a MAP sensor?

Anybody running 8.5 wide rims with 0 (zero) offset?
I wanting to know if 33s would clear the body work and chassis etc, and if there are any issues.
Alternately, what's the go in the...
All right, passenger side done.
At SWIMBO's request, I will get new carpets. So none installed in the pics.
That just leaves the doors to do which will be an easy job.
One thing for sure, if you...

OK, had a conversation with the powertrain engineers about the under hood temps.
The consensus is that 65c is what is seen during Camaro ZL1 dyno runs, and that is what a "running" vehicle should be...
