Yeah he's pretty motivated, he's useing my daily driver (falcon) as a loaner car, and as much as he loves the change, I'm sure he cant wait to have some psi's back in his ride

This is it at last night:

[delcowizzid]

well shes alive .but i sort of killed it temporay on the way home.leads on the turbo side are arcing out again and it dropped a cylinder or 2 limped home at 100kmh LOL was doing it before the swap over when it was in the wagon. seems it has now finished off the balancer rubber shes clanking away like mad so some new leads in tomorrow slap on the spare balancer and fit the surge tank and she will be ready for boosting hard

[delcowizzid]

oh yeah i managed to weld on the cannon while noone was looking tooo

[Z3R()]

I can see why the leads are going bad. Thought you moved the coil?

[delcowizzid]

[Z3R()]

[delcowizzid]

haha need to fit the surge tank and pump before i blow it up its hard not to boost hard but i dont want to blow it a week after fitting it that would just suck but never fear there will be vids oh there is allready VN GTS :: gtsturbo.mp4 video by delcowizzid - Photobucket love that cannon never know when you may see pirates

luckily she was cold and had only gone about a km and hadnt warmed up enough to boost would be a different story if the manifolds were glowing like last night when i got home LOL

[delcowizzid]

Do not burn the car Delco!

[delcowizzid]

haha im sooooo close to it

[immortality]

damn mate that sucks, we had a VC 202 stolen a few years back that they tried to burn. luckily for us it was only minor fire damage in the bay.

did you fit a new pressure valve in your trans? might pay to fit some high quality braided lines if you have upped the line pressure to prevent this happening again.

It's all going now. Same thing happend to mine when he was tuning my car, ended up been stranded on the side of a hill for hours :|

seems to be a common theme. i had a pin prick hole in a trans cooler line a few years back, fortunatly for me it blew straight onto the hot exhaust pipe under the car and turned to smoke instantly so no fire. looked like total engine failure, entire rear of car was surrounded by white smoke

[delcowizzid]

so far so good has 80km under its belt so far will recheck clamps tomorrow might even fix my crossover leak while im under there LOL

[VNracer34G]

Hmm i think i'm liking manuals better than ever lol

[delcowizzid]

ill take you for a blast one day and i bet you wont say that all hell brakes loose when you hit the lever up a gear on this auto machine

[delcowizzid]

oh yeah didnt just fix the auto today been refreshing the VB turbo's engine. so far we found 0 damage after it serverly overheated on the skidpan after blowing a welsh plug.bearings are fine and reused pistons all cleaned reused didnt even pop them out the block rings are good checked for broken ones with feeler gauges headgaskets perfectly intact.only replacements have been the cam bearings due to the new turbo cam going in should net us another 10-20% more hp .heads are ready to strip for port matching and valve lap job should be all back in 1 peice later in the week.and the big beast for the HQ wagon build 454 cubes of big block POWA
