haha yeah rich. aparently the oddyssey batteries are pretty good. but nontheless i went with the optima. i went to rocket this morning and swapped my leads for the correct set ( yay) and sized up one of the aeroflow brackets. but theyre much too small. and i could get a billet sepecialties one to suit a optima for around the same price. so i got one.
i was getting annoyed at the bodgy fitting that was in the compressor housing. so got a new of them while i was shopping.
here is the proper lead set
ill make them up on the weekend with any luck
i got a set of ls2 fuel rails and the mounting holes line up now. but the injectors still made it sit too high. so i got some alloy hollow pipe and made up 4 spacers so that the fuel rails are now mounted. not in the pic. but you can see what im talking about
then i got to wiring up the fuel pumps. they are all on a seperate relay all coming straight from the battery.
battery in its spot now with the mount
just a random shot. very blurry. i must learn to hold my phone still
i then decided now i have a battery hooked up ill crank it over and make sure its got oil pressure. pulled all the spark plugs out and removed the filter, filled it up with fresh oil and removed the turbo feed line. cranked it over till i had oil coming out there. then hooked it back up and hey presto oil pressure. got 45 psi just spinning at starter motor speed. so all is looking good
here's a pic of the interior now i have the battery back on for the first time in 6 months.
oh i also purchased something to make things a bit more interesting.
