jamminvr6storm 0 Posted August 10, 2010 Thanks for the pics of oil cooler - I'm being tight and don't want to buy new hoses so I'll just see where it fits and mount it where ever :lol: LOL no worries fella, I only had to buy one new hose because i used the longest hose from the old set up as the shortest hose on the new set up - if that makes sense :D Oh, cheers for the your help with the info on the O2J shift tower swap... since doing that conversion to mine the gear selection feels so much better!

GVK 0 Posted August 14, 2010 Timing chain shizzle Back together , with schitty Helix clutch and atmospheric enhancer. De-blinged 600x300x65 Ebay intercooler, bar and plate design. Peloquin diff, changed to 3.3fd , it would only do about 160 on the old 3.68. Vibratechnics rear engine mount, machined down in height -15mm to make engine sit level in the bay. No I haven't painted the block. It's a Boat Anchor = rusty iron. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted August 14, 2010 Have you decided what you're doing with the wastegate yet? Screamer pipe or back into the downpipe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GVK 0 Posted August 14, 2010 The kid in me says "screamer", but with track days/noise limits it better get plumbed into the DP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lowvr 0 Posted September 9, 2010 what will the 3.3fd max out at if the 3.68 only does about 160mph Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 9, 2010 If you scream, make sure it dumps into the car's slipstream or you could end up with carbon monoxide poisoning. I've seen some people with screamer pipes that just vent under the car :cuckoo: Needs to side exit, or go to the back of the car to tailpipe level. Some folk use moped silencers if noise is an issue :D HGP stuff is expensive, but it's probably the best quality kit out there. Their sister company HPA make some seriously horny 24V turbo kit.
