My 6L, cammed, manual WH2

Back where it belongs!

Just waiting on some pedals and a new slave cylinder for the clutch now.

Not much to show today, weather hasn't been fantastic.

I did install and adjust the Ripshifter. I set the stops prior to installing in the car, much easier this way.

The 2nd hand T56 I bought was missing part of the slave, so I bought a new slave.

Installed and ready to go in!

Now I need to spend a few hours pulling apart the wiring loom to make it more suitable for my setup....

Awesome car man. What does a rip shifter do, is the gear pattern the same or is a Rip shifter what they use in the V8 Supercars?

 

[SirNemesis]

Thanks. Same pattern, just a spring to force 2-3 without needing to push the lever to the side. Makes it much faster. It is also a directly mounted shifter instead of a remote/linked style so there's a more positive engagement of gears. In short, it feels nicer and it helps you shift quicker.

Ok, I've been slack and not done much on the car lately, so I thought I'd put up a couple of pictures to show that I'm not dead.

Got the engine/gearbox in the car, clutch bled, pedals in, interior back together.

Today I plugged all the remaining holes on the engine and swapped the 160# injectors for 60# injectors. Had to swap the O-rings between the injectors because L76/L98 manifolds are slightly bigger than LS1. Want to ensure injectors have a nice tight fit.

To do list:

Install loom, remove auto stuff and add manual stuff.
Remove loom and wrap properly, then reinstall.
Install cooling system, fill with coolant.
Install factory airbox, MAF, etc.
Install factory exhaust, might need to tweak around my 1/2" fuel lines.
Fill oil and check for leaks.
Test start, tuning.

Shouldn't be long now...

Comming along well mate, keep the pics happening too loving it!

Install factory maf and airbox? Going n/a for a while nem? Just for run in or going for a different setup once you go auto again?

 

[SirNemesis]

Yeah back to N/A for the moment. I sold the turbo kit to fund the engine rebuild, will turbo it again when I've found some more cash. Something a little bigger this time...

Hmmm twin tc78 turbonetics would be fun...
