Ken, can you post a picture of the conversion plate when you get them?

Dusty, I used the Audi/volkswagen sealing paste. The Audi dealer had it in stock and it was cheap, at least compared to the damn nuts. Part no. AMV-188-001-02. It doesn’t dry or harden it’s still tacky.

Mine were attached the same way but without nylon spacer.

Scott, the cooling system diagram lookes fine, I have the exact same setup. They differ only that I integrated the overflow tank into the expansion tank with a welded wall in between. The only thing is that the overflow tank should be vented to athmospheric pressure, eighter with an open line or...

Hi John, So it’s not controlled by the Ecu? With other words it doesn’t matter what engine controller you have, it’s a stand alone system. I was of the impression that you have to cut ignition for a milli sec during shifting. Can you confirm?

One thing that has been bugging me is the as delivered Master Cylinders (Wilwood), they are supposed to be mounted F3/4” and R7/8” according to the Wiki manual. This setup will give a higher pressure to the front circuit, opposite to the result I have found (even with bias to the front). I...

Update2. After testing without proportioning valve the deceleration was better but I still wasn’t satisfied (front locked up too early) so next step was to install the valve on the front circiut. Pressure diff is now approximatly 1200psi rear and 950psi front (at the same pedal force) and...

Frank, do you have a brand or part number of any of those valves?

Update. I spoke to a guy racing 5th gen Camaros. He told me that many proportioning vales reduces the pressure by 20-25% even if turned all the way to zero reduction. So I bypassed the prop valve and the pressure diff (Front/Rear) is now 100 psi. I’ll test drive as soon the roads dry up, but I...

Yea, ”tabs” is the word I was looking for, sorry for my Swenglish

I welded 3 ears on top of the radiator and 2 at the bottom, you can see it on my build log #47.

Joel, yes I have driven it with PB but without the front clam. The pedal feels close to perfect, if anything a touch too much ratio, final decision will be after test drive with the front clam on. It also has a tendensy to lock up fronts well before rear, but as I said I have to test it fully...

I had to place the steering rack mount on top i.s.o below the rack, due space limited. The final selection of vaccum pump is the Hella UP 5.X, it's designed to independently supply the required vaccum for brake booster and other components such as doorlocks. I also added a proportioning valve to...

It's too much snow up north to do the inspection so it has to wait a while longer and I'm getting crazy by not doing anything, so I decided to swap to power brakes. First I mocked it up and had the levers and pushrods lasercut then calculated the approximate ratio of the slave lever. The stock...

Joel, I had the same problem with my tires. I was recommended 285/30-19 but they where rubbing on the top arc. Ended up with 275/30-19 and a lot of grinding, the fit ok now. If I would do it all over I would definetly go with 18” in the front.

Another thing. You might need a proportioning valve on the front circuit due to the weight difference. The SL-C is around 60/40 and Camaro I guess close to 48/52. (Rear/Front)

For the pump, I got a pressure switch from the junkyard from a Volvo V70 T5. But some of the pumps have the switch built in. Don’t think the UP50 have one, I can check the part no on Monday. My measurements of the second hole is 76mm up from the lowest hole and then 32mm between the second and...

I haven't decided to switch to power brakes yet, but if I do I've prepared the linkage and all fittings. About 2.5 years ago I bought a LS3 from a 2012 Camaro SS and got half the car. Among other things a complete brake system so I already had the MC and booster. I had to get rid of the...

Got the sync hub and ring yesterday so now the Graz is back together agin. While at the Audi dealer Monday I discovered in the schematics that there is supposed to be a banjo fitting on the clutch line fitting. So instead of 3 pieces of adapters and fittings I ordered a banjo and bolt. The...

And a hint/suggestion, for you guys planning on doing the drop gear yourself. Instead of buying those damn expensive crushnuts you can try swapping position on them. If you’re lucky you will a fresh part on the nut to peen. It worked on my KVJ. It was almost a 1/4 turn differance.
