Hi Andy, How's the M20 going? Any noise yet?! Cheers, Andrew

Hi, small filters of that nature (in the top post) can really kill performance. You could lose 30-50hp on a 400hp engine, and get something that looks cool but would get smoked by a 4 barrel on a dual plane intake. The ideal filter flow requirement for one cylinder is not that far below what...

The 930 4 speed was briefly mentioned earlier in the thread - I'd put in a vote for that. I have a 440 chev hilborn injected with nearly 600ft/lbs in front of one in an inverted configuration, racing on 335 wide slicks, and have done about 30 sprint races with standing starts and have done 2...

Awesome Chris - I've got a mate over here that's done the 12hr endurance race at Bathurst a few times. He describes NZ tracks as being like kindergarten and Bathurst like University! How stable is the T70 at high speed. Body shape is similar to the M1 and I've never had a chance to tap it...

I was getting so much oil throw-off from the ring gear on my inverted 930 transaxle (which uses the original drain plug hole - now on top - to plumb to the catch can) that I run the can drain straight back into the filler hole on the side of the trans. The catch can is basically an air...

Excellent Udo - just insanely good and that thing is a bloody monster! Cheers, Andrew

Just in case there is any residual interest Udo https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/core-engine/listing/3699588387 Cheers, Andrew

Got it Clayton! She's pretty modern underneath! Cheers, Andrew

Hi Udo, Thanks for the update - sounds good. Out of interest, what approach are you planning to take to get an accurate engine position signal for coil near plug ignition. Cheers, Andrew

Hi Udo, sorry to hear about your drama with the Mag. I think you are right about the merits of having timing controlled by the ecu - definitely the way to go. On my M1 SBC Hilborn EFI set-up I use a MSD crank trigger feeding the ecu 1 pulse per TDC, and the ecu triggering a MSD 6 digital box...

I've got a Link G4 (circa 2010) controlling the Hilborn EFI 440 chev in my McLaren canam replica and I also had one in my previous turbo chev road car. They work fine and a strength is that they are highly configurable. You've got to actually tune them - they do not use a wizard-style...

I'm part way through the set-up and tune of my LS3 with stack injection using a Holley HP ECU in alpha-N mode - going well so far, user friendly and a huge user community/forum if you need help. As a side note, a thing to be aware of is that while the common speed density fuel strategy (using...

Hi Scott, I'm in the process of tuning my ITB set-up on an LS3. My system does not have a common plenum base, so I have two "collector" circuits for vacuum. 4mm taps on the outside of each runner which go to a common block in the valley and suck only the MAP sensor, and 6mm taps on the inside...

Hi all, After a lot of faffing around we got brakes and clutch bled, and the hydraulic system (which includes power steering and underfloor hydro-boost brakes) bled, and then got ready to hit the road for the first time. Clutch is pretty heavy (OEM single disk LS7 Vette) but takes up not far...

Andy, are you going to put a pod filter on the compressor intake tube? Is it an option to turn the backrest into an airbox with filter in it, and hopefully get above atmospheric cold air rammed in from the front facing bellmouth? Looking awesome. Cheers, Andrew

Hi JP Just a thought - before you commit to new springs, what is the free height of the current rear springs? OE Jag shocks are usually 220-227mm platform to platform when fully extended. If you have the free height of the current springs reset to your fully extended shock platform height...

Hi, stock Jag IRS springs are approx 250lb/in. While the rate is possibly high for your application, resetting the free height of the springs shorter so that they are only a few mm longer than the shock on full droop will allow you to properly gauge. Stock Jag spring height will likely have far...

Hi all, Steady progress has been made in the man cave on the 6/90. Front sheet-metal went back on pretty well - a major relief given that we cut the front of the car off at the firewall and rebuilt the chassis forward from there for the LS and the Jag IFS at the start of the build. Was able...

Agree - check for valid crank signal and cam sync while cranking - if you have cranking rpm showing while attempting a start then you probably have good signals. If this is a first time start-up have you followed all the setup procedures like TPS autoset etc? Some ECUs will not run until all...
