Thank you Randy...yes, I had to resort to that. Just wish that wasn't necessary.
...A change in tack on the Power adder. Was going to do turbos, but I'm just impressed with Prochargers due to their simplicity and power. A forward facing Procharger F1A94 with no intercooler, on a 10 rib belt. Plenty.
One step forward, one back..
The LS427 is on its way from NY -> CA. Then will be shipped to Wellington. I'm betting a month at least.
The Aviaid LS-D Dry sump has turned up, nice..
Having a few issues with the engine flywheel. I got the dry sump bellhousing from Albins which is designed for the 104T 10.44" flywheel and 7.25" clutch. This drops engine and Transaxle down low which is what I wanted. Only problem is Tilton don't make a 104T 10.44" flywheel and starter for a 8 bolt LSX style crank bolt pattern. The Tilton flywheel#51-4479 153T 12.75" and Super starter #54-40012 is the smallest diameter setup that might work. (looks like the setup in Wolfgangs M1) Might be contacting Albins for a replacement bellhousing but I will wait till the motor gets here and confirm. If anyone can put me onto a 104T 10.44"flywheel, 7.25" clutch and starter that will fit, I'm all ears. I can't believe I'm the first to fit this Albins ST6M setup to an LS.
Good news, after few more conversations, it wouId appear I can weld my A-Arms, Tank and Roll hoop. As long as the MSNZ build principles are adhered to, for a track only car I should be ok. I'm happy with that.
Titan steering rack is also ordered. 5-7 weeks......
Have you looked at life racing for your fuel injection?Got a week off now, so hopefully should get some bits done. Finish the welding on the A-arms and set that up. A digital inclamometer and laser level should be able to get the suspension pretty close. Might even get to rivet the front foot well cover on.
The motors in LA waiting for the slow boat to Welly town. Looking forward to hooking that up to the transaxle.
Tyres turn up very soon, going to run Hoosiers.
Just need the Procharger and ECU/]wiring harness and that’s the major items gathered.
I do like the Fuel Tech FT550 or FT600 but once you include all sensors and harnesses it does add up. Holley Dominator EFI kit’s also in the running.... still deciding whether to run Cable or DBW Throttle body.
