2hp on the bum

 

Sounds kinky.

If I can't see it & it doesn't effect performance I don't care all that much.

 

Agreed. If it works and isn't an eyesore then let it go.

I had a Bedford van for work . After a night out I would go park it on  the building site, catch a few winks before having a coffee and a few drugs  before starting work. That's freedom.

Are you sure just a few?

So I'm watching an episode right now and the throttle body is on there upside down.

 

Doesn't that mean that the air will just fall down cos gravity and the car wont run?

haha, yep, the air will definitely fall back out to the intercooler

 

Quality weld-up job on the inlet manifold. His advice to just buy stuff off hypertune... have to save for months to be able to afford their stuff

 

Only 1650cc injectors going into it

 

When he talked about boosting a V12 1GZ and it had weak rods haha

 

Only have to take out the intercooler and radiator to get the hot side cooler pipe out haha.

 

Nice sleek mods to the radiator top pipe connection and coolant piping stuff.

 

it was a pretty sick episode, as usual

Nice call at the start of today's episode haha

 

Good advice on the purchasing of fittings. Almost complete good quality planning. That is definitely expensive stuff and painful to work with, but does an excellent job and looks wicked when done correctly. Aeromotive and SpeedFlow bits + 200 series teflon braided lines FTW!

 

More solid advice on the cooler mounting with rubber to make sure the vanes don't split.

 

Gee, that shifter linkage is bloody tight on the oil cooler fitting "a miss is as good as a mile" lol

 

nice advice on using the heat-proofing as rub-proofing, too ahha

Big $$$$ build that's for sure.

Very cool build. Hope it doesn't go to the UK. Would be nice to see it stay here and do events like Powercruise.

 

Re: Injectors. Wouldn't 1650cc be way overkill? They don't appear to have done many other mods to be chasing massive power. Are there any disadvantages to running a larger injector at say only 50% of there flow rate?

You mean apart from the bigger turbo, external gate, custom larger than stock exhaust, trans cooler, aftermarket ecu, custom intank setup, twin feed fuel rail and running e85?

 

Depending on fuel pressure, boost pressure, afr and rpm that we've seen stock motors do, the injectors could be up around 70%.

 

I doubt they'll push the car there though.

 

They might just be leaving some headroom for a built motor down the track.

 

Haha mebbe that's just what they had lying around.
