They're not too bad(considering) I'd equate the lag to a 6766 on a 26 And similat power output on 98. The 30 bottom end certainly helps. I still have a 6boost single manifold. If I keep the car, will probably go single again one day. Oh, I also cant afford the turbo and head work I'd like to really take advantage of a single. And cant beat the stock look of direct replacement twins. -

Already set up for twins. Means I can drop it in, start it up and drive. Rather than having to get exhaust modded and tune again. Also, they're big twins [emoji4] If that helps -

Yep, 1mm. Apparently the valve stems were worn and getting thin. So, kind of lucky/unlucky I pulled the engine down. Lucky, because I wouldn't want to drop a valve into a piston. Unlucky, because the knock I though was bearings, was a loose cam gear. -

White: Finally purchased more parts. After finding out the knock sensor loom I recieved wasnt for a 32, had to add that to the list of purchases. So, now have the following; Knock sensor loom Coil pack loom Ignitor module Heater temp sensor Ac compressor bolts Ac comp bracket bolts Clutch booster hose and check valve Have most of the stuff now. Feeling a lot closer. -

White: So, a while ago I purchased some lmgt4's with the intent of putting them on my gold car. Then I got the white car and thought they could go on it. Wasn't sure if they were genuine or reps as they had been recoated and no stickers fitted. They seemed genuine at the time. Finally stripped the tyre off, as I want to get them redone in gloss black. Picked them up off the machine after removing the rubber and was shocked..... They're so light! Have to be genuine. I'm pretty sure they're lighter than the current lmgt4's that I have fitted to the gold car that I know are genuine. Very happy with this. Cant wait to get them redone and fit them to the car. Anyway, heres some pics....... Ps, had the maaaad stretch fit tyres on the front. It will NOT be getting this kind of treatment from myself. -
Use the "attachment" link instead of photo. I had the same issue, and this is the easiest work around.

White: Heat wrapped down pipes and installed on car. Due to planning to see track use, I went with the most heat resistant stuff I could find. 2000°F continuous...... -

Thanks mate Too long...... I'd say the gold one will be done first, as its bolt together and drive. White one still requires parts. -

White: Fitted new heater hoses. Still dont have the sensor, but did have a joiner I can use for the interim. Also found that I am missing the wiring loom that has the plugs for the knock sensors. And there are no plugs for the injectors.
