Unfortunately I had already rubbed it back by hand and painted it a pot belly black sort of colour with ceramic based paint. But I will fit it up anyways and see how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purchased a 2 channel Kenwood amp last night that can be bridged to power the Kicker sub, so things should be going dooff next weekend if it all arrives and goes to plan. Fingers crossed.

I'm having thoughts about this on the ttg so I can stick with the top mount cooler and keep the standard look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having thoughts about this on the ttg so I can stick with the top mount cooler and keep the standard look.Turns out I wont have my water methanol done in time for a tune, I dont want to just drill and tap a thread into the intake pip, I wanted to tig a small bulkhead onto the intake pipe but over this weekend I could even fine a piece of billet ally to machine down, I turned our workshop upside down, and raided Bunnings/supercheap and autobarn and I cant get find a 1/8 NTP 27TPI nut anywhere to weld on, the gas fittings I think I will have to procure from a gas place, or hopefully conventry or mullings fasteners. Its not a huge dramas, dave said he can email me a tune with an extra 2 degrees timing put in which will be safe, and that's as far as he would have gone anyway, he reckons usually with water/meth you can go atleastt 4 degress but my motor will be on the brink anyway so dont want to throw a leg out of bed. I will get a dyno reading after the tune, and after the water meth. I will help a fair bit for dyno/drags keeping intake air temps consistant and allowing the PCM to run maximum advance more consistantly. Next things on the list after a tune will be stand alone trans cooler for the zf6 speed and better oil cooler to stop the PCM pulling timing when the oil temp gets a little high. Of course you can turn these off and tune in open loop but im getting dave to leave the torque tags and this sort of thing operating, in my opinion they are there for a reason.Fingers crossed, lads should get a half decent printout thursday, still be around 200hp lower that yours reece...until I build a engine for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get my mrs to post up my dyno sheets after she gets home, I can build a do all my own car work but cant work a laptop, cracks my mrs up all the time haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
