Its a 4x4 throttle body that has been machined out to take a 60mm butterfly.

Cheers Guys
 
I took a few pics today of some special mods to the head, these have been done for a while but I have been slack in taking pics.
 
The first is the coolant temp sensor mod to run the Bosch sensor that the earlier heads run...the small turbo head uses a EECIV sensor which isnt compatable with most aftermarket engine management systems.
 
The second and third pics are the inlet and exhaust pressure wave sensor ports. These sensors combined with one in a specially modified spark plug can in an instant provide detailed data on how well matched the engine package is and allow corrections to be made with accuracy to cam specs, turbo, exhaust, inlet tract, etc.

Another parcel of bling arrived today from the UK...probably one of the last with any luck, not much to go now, just some fuel lines to go with the new rail and a finished cylinder head

More good progress Phil, those pressure wave sensors are something I have never heard of how do they work?
Does that fuel rail allow use of injector clips? Also where is the acc cable bracket from?

Hi Luke,
 
The pressure wave sensors are a high speed/high pressure sensor that the equipment uses in conjunction with a crank position sensor to create a pressure wave map. The software can then analyse the data and confirm if the combo is correct or if gains can be had. I havent seen it in action yet but as soon as the tune is done we can hook up the gear and see how everything shapes up.
 
This fuel rail doesnt use clips but swallows the injector enough to prevent it from being able to move anywhere near the orings.
 
With the throttle bracket, I bought it years ago off ebay from the UK so not sure who the supplier was now, but all the other alloy cnc parts are from MK Motorsport...top quality gear!!
 
Cheers,
 
Phil.

With the rain today came a chance to get out into the shed...I finished the Accusump install and capped the pipes until the engine has finished running in...just needs a -10 hose installed to become functional!! The remote pressure valve has been successfull tested and after sacrificing a nice chrome valve cap, I had a nut to secure it in the alloy shield panel.

One of the last goodies required for the engine bay turned up a few weeks back...its a Turbosmart fuel pressure regulator for -8 fuel lines. I've made a bracket to mount it under the inlet manifold out of the way. Just need to shorten the fuel rail a touch and make up the fuel lines then its pretty much a case of waiting for the head
