** Rebuilding a Stroked/Turbo VT Ecotec **

[hakhawk]

was expecting(hoping) for a front throttle manifold, not some bent pipe going to the stock manifold.

Looks like she's leaking something red under the front passenger side. Tranny fluid?

defo needed more of this but good to see you still going on with it

I did say in the message I wrote due to lack of funds? forward facing will come, id rather get the car going and therefore im focusing on the fuel system next then ill do all the stuff. not needed at the moment

 

[holden_4aw_lyfe]

yeah the stuff down the bottom is coolant, long story but theres going to be leaks, like any build, just gotta fix them

I think Hakhaw is donating funds to build forward facing throttle plenum. Top bloke!

Bent pipe and straight pipe doesn't flow that much differently when done correctly like this temp pipe work is btw

hell if im donating anything, ive got my own boosted setup ive gotta pay for.

seeing as it already had the supporting cooler and radiator setup for it, i assumed it was something that had already been done. not my fault there were no pics with a manifold installed prior to the video.

lol wow. forum hasnt changed at all! pfft people having no faith in me i see

hi all! long time no speak! sorry for the LONG delay, i've been so busy working on other things and forgetting about this build, infact i was thinking of selling it a while ago; idiot i am. I wasn't in the right frame of mind and lost motivation. With the help of others i got back up and decided to finish the car. After almost 2 years of not starting it, not finishing it, i got off my fat a$$ and decided this is it. My god has it paid off. First start was today, chargedvx6 came over last weekend and did a tune for me to get the car going for now, i can take it for a spin (still yet to do) and get it tuned after the fuel setup goes in. BOOST BABY! gotta learn how to drive it now it's an animal haha!

So here it is, after such a long time; for all the haters and lovers. <3 DAT FLUTTER <3<3<3

By the way, smokes because of the heat wrap wearing in
