Nice work, I had considered doing something similar.. but i have been annoying the people that I know who work in machine shops too much over the last year or so, so i thought I would give them a rest for now [}:)]

Is that a fitting for 5/8 hose ? Just a small word of warning (although I am not certain if this applies in every case) I had some problems with having breather lines that were too restrictive and it was causing oil to blow out the top of the dipstick tube, so just keep an eye out for that. I now have a 19mm hose coming out that side of the block.

Few pics of new manifold installed. I broke the plug for my air temp sensor while stuffing around with it all so I modified a Magna alternator plug to fit it till I get the correct plug to suit.

lookin good

looks really good,keep up the good work

woah! that must sound awesome!

The car spent 3 and a half hours on the dyno today. Yet to try cold starts[:I] as they became a bit of an issue, but it's much nicer just driving along at a steady speed and has more punch up top.

Fuel press reg has been by passed and vacuum hose has been blocked.
He also suggested getting a vacuum tank to help with braking and idle drop etc, so thats my next step of investigation.

Heres hoping cold start is better and I can use the car more often now.

Time to save some more and find a day off work for some track day fun.

Good luck with the cold starts. They are such a pain in the behind. Mine are great now. But battery looses a bit of power from weekend to weekend. Sometimes needs a little charge Friday nights before weekend.[:p]

Have you tried a high torque starter motor? I got mine from "Castle Electrics" I think, it's the nuts.

So are you just running pump pressure to the TB's now?
