Jaycee bypass oil filter mount humpty! You can regulate the oil pressure from it and I shoots the excess back to the sump. No guys, car didn't get finished so it won't be making the trip to Warwick.... Everything is just holding on by a few bolts so it would probably all fall off by the time we got there!

Hi guys, this is my new profile... I have started a new business so it just makes sense to use this one. I cant be arsed opening the other one.

I haven't updated in a while but its been moving along very slowly. Engine is in, intake all sealed up along with all the other bits and bobs. Fuel system is all finished. Just waiting on a power valve blank for my new 650cfm holley to show up so I can jet it and put it on. Once we plumb the staging brake up i'll take it down to the auto sparkie and he can finish wiring it up... I don't touch that shit. I hate it.

I also got an aem failsafe a/f gauge. It logs a/f, boost and rpm and also has a cut off so if it runs too lean it will alarm and shut the engine down. cheap insurance.

Not too far off now really, just gotta find a bit of time to work on it!

Thanks guys,

Got a bit more done over the weekend... Fitted the power valve blank, jetted the holley and bolted it on, got all my boost/vacuum lines sorted, just gotta make another brace for the carbie and a throttle cable bracket and its off to the sparkie to get wired up!

Well done and that doesn't look like a pig at all, considering you weren't revving it much 👍👍👍👍

We took it to the dyno last night, very pleased with the results! Its in one piece and sounded strong...

We kept to a conservative 10psi boost for the time being.

Got it out to the track for the first time last night! Managed a 12.8 @ 113 mph... That was short shifting and learning to drive again after nearly 2 years outta the drivers seat! I believe there is a low 12 maybe high 11 in it with this tune. It felt strong and went home in 1 piece so were all very happy! Bring on Sydney!

Nice one. Love to see what it pulls with more boost.
Love that deep sound. Keep it up.

there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

Thanks guys, next upgrade is the gearbox and axles.... Still running the super diff and stock axles so they have a used by date. In the mean time while saving for the gearbox were gonna play with water/meth injection.

Been a while... Ran 11.30 @119mph a couple of months ago then ran a 7.15 @ 97mph at the JP event for the 1/8th...

It's now got a Proper race box with a rhino case, spool, albins 1st and 2nd, kombi 3rd and 4th with moly race axles all by the man himself DB.

We put a new, much bigger turbo on and started playing with the 2step now. Hoping to get out again soon
