Hey guys please have a look at our facebook page to see current updates on any of the cars we are building,

Job for tomorrow - off a crashed V7

It will fit... just - it\'s about 310mm from outlet to back of the tank - there\'s about 370mm between throttle body and firewall. There may be some work with a hammer involved.

Actual dimensions aren\'t that much of a stretch - 500x185x90 vs 370x150x75, looks like the majority is just using a bit more real estate above the primary turbo so I\'ll have to work something out with heat shielding & the bonnet scoop duct

But when you work out the volume difference it\'s literally double the core size - 8.3l for the sti one vs 4.1 for the B4 one (same as V5/V6 sti? according to the interwebs) - end tanks are more or less the same size.

[Guest]

Epic difference should notice some change but with V8 scoop? Missus wouldnt notice that...

[Marky]

Haha - "what are you talking about, that was like that when we bought it"

[94 Leone]

just have to change mounts and it should fit sweet. snugly

[Timmah]

Finished spraying the last of the trim that was fading. Looks a lot better now. Very happy with myself now.

BUT if you have a medium which flows more (but filters less) you have removed a bottleneck

i don\'t think an air filter is a bottle neck on any turbo street car. people have done dyno runs back to back filter vs no filter, with no difference

[Stoffa]

Plumbed my PCV back in, HEAPS more vacuum now!

Fixed a vacuum leak on my boost solenoid too, slowly sorting the little things out.

[Marky]

It\'s the little things that add up though!

Air filter stuff - newer cars I agree 100% - older stuff... more the airbox rather than the filter element itself being a bottleneck I suppose?

My "done today" was easier than I thought it would be - got V7 cooler mounted - had it done in time to get the lawns done and catch up on underbelly before lunch

Still twin turbo, won\'t be going single until something provokes it to happen

[Timmah]

Started sealing up the new indicators for the new bumper with some silicone sealant.

[94 Leone]

IF you drive a BH legacy, do your tail light garnish aswell, that s*** leaks like a bastard, if it hasn\'t started letting water in, seal it up now with silicone.

-I fixed it.

[Guest]

Tail garnish...gf8...wtf :

[94 Leone]

right sorry, lol; was thinking of BH\'s it\'s late, I\'m tired lol, two tabs open at the same time. sorry about that...

[sultan]

Spent two hours looking in to why it wasn\'t starting. Finally found one of the connectors to the ignition barrel had failed on the inside. Was frustrating as all hell with everything looking perfect but no power going to important bits. Thought it was the alarm at first

Tell us more about the specs man. Looks very interesting and epic! I love the attention to detail and can appreciate the work and time spent.. Have to ask sorry but are you running the hydro lash adjuster heads? Or have you just used the rocker covers with the lines and writing?? Just a thought but the old non shim style heads would seem abit of a weak point for a huge setup with top feeds 1.1reg etc .

A couple of friends have jumped on it after seeing my results! Hope it all goes good for ya.

[XSCIV1]

You got it BMAGIC I never intended to go as far as we have so the set up has been built first & then now the appropriate block will be built to suit.

[94 Leone]

that\'s a f*ckin\' cool setup there man. alot of work involved; labour of love though haha

[Timmah]

Squeaky clean. Also last few days with the v3 bumper.

[Kiwi_Fozze]

gave it a clean, wax, blacked the tyres, vacuumed it out... also removed the a/c belts, damn that made a difference. going to clean the glass shortly.

also removed the mudflaps... damn it looks a lot better now!!!!

Have to ask, where is the alternator and the power steering resevoir etc and the associated wiring loom?
