some more progress.

secondary injectors will fit, took abit to get them sitting in the rite spot so they dont spray on to the runner and port walls and without putting the hole in the wrong spot to start with.

no speed sensors. not really necessary. atmospheric conditions can change the boost given the same comp speed. i will be running a balance pipe on the back of the engine to average the boost to each bank.

just working out the heater/turbo plumbing atm. + water to air cooler plumbing+ our lease is up and have to move.........

secondary injectors all mounted.

It looks schmick, nice job. But why go to staged injection when you can run injectors up to 2000cc that will idle and run nicely down low as well?

If it's bling, I understand. But the work / complexity increase would make me shy away.

because i want it to pass an im240 if need be. my ecu can run it, and with proper injector placement i wont need as big. better economy and more consistent mixtures.

ive got a set of moran billet atomisers that will do the job, but i want it done well. fyi the "2000 ish cc" injectors on the market are gas injectors and fail on a regular basis. there not meant for liquid petrol. let alone e85. the rubber seals inside swell and change there dynamic flow rate.

yes some updates. having our lease up sucks. house hunting has taken a front seat over this.

also i am abandoning the water to air intercoolers in the manifolds. the volume is to big and will make it lazy. (i need razor sharp throttle response for the paddle shift that im running.

also bonnet clearance is an issue. i want to raise the engine a cm or 2 for ground clearance. stock sump will be marginal at best,,

ive got some old hypertune s2000 plenum shells i am modding to fit. (shortening and mirror imaging one for the r/h bank)

the water to air coolers will be mounted in the inner guards out of the way.

all but finished my 110L fuel tank. all in 316L so it wont corrode. twin walbro 400's staged and an internal gated surge tank/pot

getting close. just finding the time has been hard + the 90 odd wires for the engine wiring harness took some time to make.

got the air shift piston and linkage sorted so i can use the stick and have paddle shift.

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
