Then got to work making a battery box for the rear shelf. the idea is that i want it removeable so i can get to fuel tank. but also nice and solid. will have a hinged lid on the front to allow access to the battery, it isnt finished yet but you get the idea.

i know you have said no already but a forward facing plenum is going to make your engine bay look soooo much cleaner. just put a cheap ebay job on for now.

better response.

better looking.

but it all comes down to cost

top work anyway i love the fabrication work.

Saw this up close the other day when i was pickin up my car from AM and oo thats a bigass wing! :)

Cant wait to see it down on the track! its going to be awesome! take me for lap when its done, pwease?

Lol

More work done... cooler piping has been done but i didnt get pics of it all on as i need some joiners. Heres a pic of what the top pipe will look like.

Got gauges in, the pivots that were in the car either didnt work or were missing senders, only one remains and thats the oil temp one. the others are various miss matched guage... in fact every guage is a different brand. im gonna start a trend here!

yeah i get what your saying mate, however i much rather save for a propper one instead of just going a ebay copy, those things tend to be iffy at best of times.

    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
