 Been driving around with the lights and the light output is amazing i must say.

This is the light output vs new jeep stock xennons. It also is much better than my Evo X Xennons. You can also change the bulbs to Phillips ones which again will be much better:

Just an update decided to fix my airbox restriction issue, last time i was on Trent's dyno it was ~10rwkw restriction on the stock airbox.

Bought a 4 inch wide Pod and adaptor.

Got JDM Garage Melbourne to fit it up and do a custom airbox whilst retaining the snorkel and stock look due to VIC Police defects.

So one night decided to put the car on the roller dynos for fun.

Found out the car was leaning out due to the new airbox. Was also running out of fuel and couldnt lower the boost as the actuator was a 19 or 20psi one and was running at minimum boost.

So now got duel walbro fuel pumps and a Link G4 ecu. Need to get a new BOV as the current one is leaking.

 

Car still runs on the 5 year old bush bearing Hypergear ATR45 internally wastegaated stock position. E85.

 

Before the airbox it was ~360rwkw on a roller dyno and ~380rwkw on a hub. (racepace and trents dyno)

So about +60rwkw.

Just had a look through this thread, amazing stuff! I was wondering is that JDl Kit still available somewhere around here? I would love to get my hands on it.

Not sure sorry i imported from UK and pretty sure they stopped after my one as shipping was too much

Cheers, man. Yeah I have looked around and there is some places that sell it but the price is pretty high and I would have to get it piece by piece (bonnet here, bumper there etc.)

Get some black krinkle HTP on that airbox, it will look less "fabbed".

Well, in my mind anyway.

Hell, my old girl looked stock.....  :)

UNIGROUP built  it for me years ago, made a lazy 500hp.

 

It did have its issues, eating OEM manual gearboxes was one of them

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
