I'm using a 6+1 trigger wheel for this module a commodore module requires two wheels 18 and 3 this was just a easier setup.

[ilovea9x]

Got home a fitted these straight away to my motor.

[ilovea9x]

Fitted the inlet to see how it looked with the module, will be raising the height of the plenum and shortening the runners which will be one piece when finished.

Map sensor turned up today, has a spot under the module mount.


Also been playing with the plenum.

Sits higher now and gives more room for plug changes, just need to remake the runners now.

[ilovea9x]

Been informed that the map sensor needs to be higher than the plenum due to condensaion so I need to make room for it up on the firewall.

[ilovea9x]

Made a bracket up quickly to see how it looks on the firewall, my guess would be once it's all painted the clutch master will stand out more.

Diff is home from the engineer and now it's time to make the brake lines.

Been working on the oil cooler location and external oil lines lately


And test fitting the girdle so I can mod my sump.

Is the oil cooler going to get enough air flow mounting it there??

 

Coming along nicely though.

No room anywhere else, I wanted it up front but the intercooler takes up to much room.

[stevemc32]

Any chance to duct some air from the dam into the oil cooler?  Even from behind the intercooler would be useful.

So much love for this project.

[ilovea9x]

There should be enough air coming in through the grill and all it would take is cutting a slot in the radiator support, will take the front off and have a closer look.

Getting ready to do some mods to my sump, girdle hits I a few places and the first six studs

[ilovea9x]

And started on a balance pipe for the rocker cover which then uses the unused dizzy hole.

[ilovea9x]

Been working on the oil distribution block, drilling into my test block to see how it all fits.
Even got a oil pressure adjuster for the pump.

[warrenm]

Make sure you test fit the dip stick, the girdle will probably need some reshaping, also test fit the sump, the studs touch the sump.

[ilovea9x]

Making the sump to suit so I won't be touching the girdle and as for the dipstick I'll just fit it to the sump after I've enlargen it.

[ilovea9x]

Fitted the breather elbow and now I have the plenum hitting it so it's time for inlet manifold Mark 8 to start.

[ilovea9x]

Also finished test fitting oh my oil lines.

Really glad your still rolling along with this. Will be great to see it run one day.
