Milo tins that a worth over $400 a pop and i can adjust the "Volume" from sleeper to race!! I love my toys lol

Yeh looks good!! Hmm. Can bends be bought anywhere?

I think stainless is probably overkill for it. Just seems like wasted money considering it will be covered in mud haha.

Ive found mild steel bends for pretty cheap. 20 bucks each.

I can get 90 degree mandrels 304 stainless for $18.95, cash is king my friend and also using a trade name to get the trade discount helps too, plus peace of mind that it should out last the car unless it gets torn up on rocks and stuff lol

Edit : mandrels where 2.5" diameter

G'day mate,

I would certainly put it down to insufficient fuel flow - check the fuel pressure and regulator response to vacuum, or the likely culprit, the fuel pump. It may well be that when the fuel pump gets warm it is unable to maintain outlet pressure; as you drive the EFI return line slowly heats up the circulating fuel as well. An injector could also be clagged or on its way out causing detonation not on all cylinders.

Failing the fuel pressure solutions, as soon as it pings, shut it down and pull over, and begin pulling out the spark plugs. If it is detonating appreciably you will certainly find this on the culprit plugs, indicated by silvery metallic specking on the electrode. If detonation is only occurring on one or two cylinders it could well be related to your new headgasket installation: unlikely, but perhaps a hotspot due to a burr on the edge of the combustion chamber?

Best of luck!

Well, bit of a change of plans. A TD42 has come up at the right price, with all bolts ons, gearbox, radiator, shroud, cluster. So I'll be removing and selling off the engine, gas system and a few other things!

Thanks for everyones help, and I'll be the proud new owner of the engine in the morning and will be joining the soot club.
