yeh, but you have to run a divider plate between the engine and the bonnet over the radiator support.

dont worry Jase, you will see... :banana:

wouldn't that suck major hot air unless there was a cold air feed?

hmmmm, yes, very nice. The Carbon Fibre is a bit overkill though, and tune lenght intake runners will be expensive i dare say. Harrop do one also but 12k

Hey Stu, go get some Kleenex for cleanup. You're gonna need them.

Harden the f**k up. Here's the same manifold with Al tubes.

my s13 needs an ls1 just so i can fit that manifold.

But i reckon i can make the throttle linkage more complicated :ph34r:

Very interested to see how this car goes. You only need to better a 1:07.9 at wakefield and you are quicker than my old r32. I reckon your car has 6's in it without too much trouble, probably quicker with a bit of seat time.

yes, im all over it brother, Aaron has already quized him on runner lengths which will blow your mind.

they are also doing me some CnCd rocker covers which are trick.

Stu, I would quiz Jamie from NRE on how these are set up. They do the ones for Ingall etc.

Saw pics of the covers on the PRI show website. Awesome!

not heaps to report. have been chipping away at the long list of little fidly jobs like mounting ECU and com port, fitting temp senders, gear shift boot, tow hooks, etc. heaps fidly and time consuming but has to be done. have some second hand rubber on those rays datonas and they look good. scored some second hand semi slicks of one of the brut utes. the biggest i can fit on the front is a 235. have a 245 comfortably on the rear. going to get wired soon. even put engine oil in it today so very close.

A little more done. I have fitted the LS1 wiring harness and ran it into the car to the ECU which is mounted on the passenger floor. Mounted com port plug in pasenger air vent. modified the harness and moved the position of the o2 sensor plugs as they were mounted further down the exhaust before, now they are in the headers.

brakes are bled, clutch also. fluids in engine, trans & diff.

Modified the steering knuckle a little just to get a bit more clearance. had to relieve passenger engine mount also. had to pump the trans tunnel around the shifter opening also.

Radiator, thermo fan and hoses all plumbed. Temp sender was fitted in cylinder head.

Tow hooks fitted front and rear.

Fitted diff pineapples, waiting for front & rear sway-bars to arrive.

Thats about it, going to get wired this week, then doing the tin work and fabbing a catch can and recovery tank and some ducting. Should get her back after Christmas.

Looks like you are soon finihed, and it is looking great! :rofl:

You must upload more photos and video clip from first startup... I want to hear it roar!! :laugh:

Do you have more pictures from the engine bay and interior? :no:

only whats already been posted, nothing much else has changed.

Does look great, though looks wierd not having anything hanging out through the opening in the bar. May have to glass it back to teh radiator so you dont see light through there.

Tell me where to write a 10k checque for the conversion and i will post it off....only i know it woudl cost way more then 10k ;)

All it needs to be truly toss worthy is a close ratio box and a big silly cam to make the thing nice and peaky and make good top end. LOL, i seem to like spending money making cars slower ;)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
