@Rossco I heard you went for a run?
As long as it's between 32 and 35 psi it will be fine. At 30 psi we tested that and EGT's up your hill is a bit much for the fuel we are pumping. Just don't want it going off gauge or running in the unsafe shaft speed area of the comp map.Quote:

Very impressive on our short run. Wet and bloody tourists everywhere but this thing doesn't stop pulling 4th gear is still ridiculously strong. Thought i saw just over 30psi but we're getting around 27 ish on later squerts in 4th. But yes does get a bit dicey in the wet pushing the limits.
What intake manifold would you blokes suggest?
Like this...
Another angle.
I have since shortened the entry pipe and coated the manifold
Can you please explain the benefit of forward intake rather then centred like most manifolds?Quote:

BTW, looks very sexy!!!Quote:

Forward entry for a front mount. Its all about the volume mostly. You can see how the entry pipe is against the back wall. It also has 300+mm from entry point with no restrictions (so no directional changes or wall). You need a minimum of 50mm all the way across. dont worry about tapering ends off etc just get the height for the volume. Centre entry should also follow the back wall.
Yep. It has 100mm of lift at the lowest point. Cost was about $450. I just used a fabricator we use through work up here. He doesnt do car stuff but I get special treatment lol.Quote:

Probably just boost gauge, recirculation and pump?Quote:

Wouldn't think so, as long as their all in good nick should fine i reckon. Although get what your thinking extra force needed to throw out tighter springs will put it to the test a bit more. .Quote:
