Cranky VSSSUTE 355 Twin Throttle Walkinshaw Build Thread

Got the manifold back from pro flow, had brackets made for the vs fuel rails. So they bolt down with manifold!

Was thinking of painting rails black but think I'll polish them then clear coat to protect them! Good idea Toney!
You can see how the shaved throttles look ok compared to lumpy standard ones.

Next I just have to tap in some extra vacuum lines, weld stepper boss on and the old man will machine some wedges to angle throttles down! Simple

My head lights are balls, my lights are clear and head light covers are clear! But tried Phillips crystal vision and diamond vision, they all suck lol
So may try some hids.
Also anyone recommend real good hi beams as these also suck lol

Good news! Engine gets strapped to dyno in a week

hope you didnt pay much for those fuel rail brackets. id be looking at something a bit chunkier. popping injectors at full noise is the last thing you want

Guessing your jokeing.
But if not na no chance mate, they bolt down with manifold and bolt to rails with Allen key screws. The metal brackets are heavier gauge than the vl Walky standard ones.
Done by pro flow, seen a Walky he has done also with same set up

Try plain old Narva bulbs. Been through every bulb, new reflectors and glass and only bulb that throws decent light is the Narva's. Not the poser blue colour or anything but lights the place up well. HID's require projector lenses and light washers to be legal, and for good reason (the projector anyway). Normal reflectors don't work properly with HID's and throw light into the eyes of oncoming traffic, very dangerous.

HIDs are gunna put out the best light also yes they are illegal
But if u aim them right they Dnt really go into oncoming drivers faces
I have hen in my vs ute n they look great
