Hey,

I noticed a decent amount of people here say they have an amp in the boot right next to the battery. I just looked at mine then since i have an amp and i realised that theres wires next to the battery and the metal bit isn't exact straight either, it slopes down. So i'm assuming those that put the amp in their boot next to the battery added something to go over the top of the wires for the amp to sit on.

Could anyone tell me how they put their amp next to the battery and provide pictures if possible?

Thanks.

No pictures here... but I just got some aluminium angle from Bunnings and made up a bracket which used the screws from the fuel-pump cover.

Currently got an amp, PC power supply and USB soundcard in there... soon to put another amp in as well ;)

i mounted my amp so that when you open the boot.. its staring you right in the face. i got a piece of mdf and screwed it onto the 'back wall' just under the strut brace, then stuck the carpet bit on and the amp over that. looks ok i guess.. haven't hidden the wires perfectly but you could if you wanted to.

very nice job mintr33! very professionally done! i like it!

But hey Tyson1990 if you want something real simple just get a thick piece of mdf board and cut to size. you can screw 1 side into the battery tray and the other side into the metal which will bring it up so its not on a lean. this will also hide the existing wires and give you some space to run your own as well.

the picture included is not of an amp install, originally i had an amp here but now they are all on show so i've used this space for fuses and stuff. but gives you an idea of the board used which will do if it wont be seen. mintr33's is awesome, but looks like his is fabricated specially to suit with brackets to size and everything, a lot more work involved but looks the part, so really depends on what lengths you want to go to.

hope this helps.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
