Excellent, so having a balance pipe wont effect the O2 readings or ECU? Can i go from the collector part of the header directly under the motor/sump to the opposing side? (Its a rear hump sump). BTW, here are a couple of pics of the Chev 350 exhaust system i am doing (also in a FJ40), the 304...

Hey guys, I am putting a VT HSV 5L V8 into a landcruiser and I've got some questions about the exhaust... Can i run a H pipe/balance pipe BEFORE the cats/mufflers and o2 sensors? I was hoping to basically connect the 2 exhausts pipes just after the headers/collectors. I will be...

Hey guys, Im putting a 304 EFI into a FJ40 landcruiser. I am going to run with an electric power steering pump, so on the engine i only require an alternator and a/c compressor. The question is, was there ever a standard bracket to mount the A/C and Alternator at the top of the engine? Im...

Thanks guys, Yeah might just try and source a VN loom. Just figured as i would be completely rewiring the engine and only required the plugs (Will use new wire) and would need a new ECU/Memcal anyway that i could salvage a VS loom as it was easier to get. Ill keep my eye out, some people...

Rowville, Victoria

Also, i should mentioned that which ever way i go i will be completely pulling the loom apart to rebuild using new wiring. So i guess the question is does a VS loom contain all the connectors i need for a VN engine, and can i use the VS Manual ECU with a custom Memcal?

Hey guys, I've got my hands on a rebuilt VN V8 304 engine, but it didnt come with a wiring loom or ECU. Ive been offered at a reasonable price a VS V8 Loom and Manual ECU. I have read that the VN used a 800 dizzy, while the VS would have run a 801 dizzy (But apparently the only wiring...

Wow, some great replies guys. Thanks, ill have a think about what my options are...

Yeah, i am hoping that the stock headers (or HSV headers) can be used with enough clearance. I guess the question is what combination of Extractors, Cats and muffler will give the deepest note? Ill then track down/purchase these and weld up a custom exhaust. I am trying to avoid taking it to an...

Hey guys, I'm putting a stock 304 V8 into a Landcruiser, wonder what sort of exhaust system gives the deepest exhaust note? I dont want it to be loud, i just want a deep V8 rumble. Basically wondering whether to go stock headers, HSV extractors or an after market pacemaker type of...

Do you mean dual system or exhausts coming out each side of the car...

It can be done, but you need to start with a 100% complete donar car, that way its just a transfer over. I recently did a WHII statesman into a VX (So climate control, auto headlights etc). The one thing you dont want to do is try and source parts separately... Its much easier and less pain...

Not sure yet, probably aiming for around 10-12psi... The efficiency of the charger drops off significantly once you pass 12psi to the point where you have temp issues. In my case, my objectives are a little different to most. When most people say "Oh it goes hard all day" they mean it'll do...

No, thats completely custom built from the ground up. While i agree you can pump out that sort of power on a turbo LS1, it depends on your definition of "all day long"... EG doing a couple of drags it can handle it easily but if your talking circuit work all day long then i very much...

Sorry, that was supposed to be $35k+. (which includes clutch/exhaust). A properly built motor that can reliably make good power ain't cheap.

To the OP, Im looking at using a textralia triple plate clutch. From people who've used these in high powered applications all reports have been very good. And yes, it can be used on the street but i wouldn't be using it in traffic/daily commuting.... More of a weekender/backroads type...

They are a pain to tune and more designed for stroker LS1s, however their main purpose is ultra fast throttle response and intake noise. While a Duspeed OTR will gain good power figures at the higher end, a hurricane manifold will gain decent power right across the entire rev range. I remember...

Hey mate, Your inbox is full. Anyway, do you still have the seats/does the drivers have the memory settings? Cheers, Errol

Currently got manual, but im considering going to a sequential box.

Can we show in a genuine SS, or does it have to be a exec in drag :P

Im very suprised how much power you guys are getting... Im running a stroked LS1 (383/6.3L) with heads, very large came, all the usual bolt ons and a decent tune, and its "only" making 276rwkw. (Although it was on a mainline dyno, made 715nm (650+nm from 2500rpm to about 5500rpm) and actually...

Hey guys, My Sister's Boyfriends engine appears to have seized (we think the timing chain snapped) and he'll need an engine change. I did a bit of a search, but was wanting to know how much work is involved. Ive done a lot of mechanical work on my VX, so i should be capable, just wanting...

Hey mate, Will these bolt up to a WH statesman? or are they VT Series 1 and earlier? Cheers

Hey guys, Long story short, i need to get a boot from a VX commodore shipped down from Sydney to Melbourne. Couple of courier places have quoted around $200... Which is a too much. If anyone is driving down in the next few weeks and can fit it in, im happy to pay around $80. I can meetup...

ITEM: Boot lid from VX Commodore (VT Considered as well) LOCATION: Vic, South East (will picked from anywhere in Melbourne CONDITION: New or Used PRICE: Looking at around $50, $100 if its a black VX boot with rear garnish (Centre part) DELIVERY/PICK UP INFORMATION: Will pickup...

Hey mate, Ill take the suites/shoes/helmet/gloves for $300. (Size 56?? Is that like small/medium/large?) Where abouts are you located? Cheers, Errol. (Added you to msn)

Ill have to check, but a series 1 monaro should have the same radiator. Not sure if they sent series 1s over though. Shipping is going to be the killer... PWR make high performance radiators and ship internationally. But they are expensive... Have you tried ebay? Is it possible to...

Awesome, thanks mate. I was a little worried as i have a VX, and the item is from a VZ. HOWEVER, i have been running a VY gearknob for a few months. When originally installing i came across the 30 degree problem. At the time i had two choices... cut and reweld the gearknob, or be lazy and use a...

Assuming all the bits required are there, and its in good working order ill take it Can pickup anytime this week. PM Sent. Cheers EDIT. This will fit a VX yeah?? Is it the street or race version? Apparently there are 2 different street versions so im hoping this fits a VX Series II...

Ill take the catch can and the oil cooler pending can you post a few pics and/or links to the products? Does the rocker covers suit a LS1? Cheers

Even pricks turn into top bloke after death

argh, stupid poll... I thought it was "which is more important to you" and choose car... I could easily go without sex, and i dont drink beer very often. That said, if it was alochol rather than beer (so say spirits) it would be a tough choice. Still, i dont think i could live without my...

Come to Vic where there are calls to ban V6 cars as well.... And all cops are ar**holes

Extractors do help the system flow a little better.... maybe 5rwkw. Personally i would get the cam done at the same time.

Hey mate, There are 2 main types of "Trailer Brakes". 1st type (most common which is applicable to you), operates by having the section that connects to the tow bar act as a "brake lever". When you start braking (in the car) the trailer weight continues moving forward pushing the actual...

Sarcasm doesnt work too well on the forums. Yeah, was talking about the $20 resister chips, or electric superchargers, or magnets on the fuel lines etc etc etc

Should be able to get one from ebay pretty cheaply. Also check out some of special power chips. $19.99 and they increase power and economy.... im gonna save up and fit 2 for more powarrrr.

Not yet. I will be putting a guide together at some stage in the future, as im converting my SS to Caprice spec'd interior. I will be writing up a very detailed guide with pics etc, but it might be a few months away.
