delcowizzid nice result mate shame about the PCV but why was it still there LOL.i see at least 400-440rwhp or more with some good boost

Thanks mate. I never had an issue with the PCV on the old engine, it's something I didn't think would be a problem.

immortality ditch the PVC and get a good catch can setup. worth the effort. you only just got this thing warmed up. plenty left to find i bet

I'm blocking off the PCV, and a nice oil catch can is on the shopping list.

MACE Catch can FTW

Otherwise top result indeed

Cheers
Steve

Thanks Steve, I'm pretty happy with the results so far. More boost is on the way plus a 3.45 LSD.

Cheers

The catch can has arrived so that will be going on shortly, just need to tap some fittings in the rocker covers. Still working on roller rocker and PCV. Diff change is next on the list.

Time for an update:

The roller rocker problem has been sorterd. I sourced some longer pushrods and raised up the rocker pedistals, so now everything clears just nicely.

PCV has been blockled off, and catch can and fittings have been installed.

Transmission has now lost 3rd & 4th gear, probably fried the clutches. So this is being removed and getting rebuilt shortly. I was thinking about throwing in a stock trans and driving it for a while but its not really worth it.

The VR is back baby!

Got the trans rebuilt with 4L65E heavy duty parts, and its running sweet. Feels so much firmer and responsive. The old 3-4 cluthes were totally burnt out.
