Nice wagon man where did you get the flywheel and clutch from? I'm putting an l67 in my manual ute and need an l67 ballanced flywheel!

Got the flywheel from wreckers, which was rebalanced at a machining shop. Clutch is just an exedy heavy duty

Have the car booked in for a custom MAFLESS tune in the coming weeks, will be good to finally niggle out few issues with the current tune and whack new intake and pulley on!

Bit of a long overdue update! lots has been happening especially in last couple months.

Car was tuned about a year ago, unfortunately once we put the base tune on the Exedy clutch would no longer hold the torque. The tune had to be postponed at this point and i called up NPC and sorted a 10.5" organic setup which I installed then revisted Dick to complete the tune - IAT's were high and the exhaust a little restrictive but car felt great and have been happy with it so far.

Brakes were upgraded - markovr sorted out a VT master/booster upgrade, This was installed along with VY front calipers, DBA T2 slotted rotors with QFM hpx pads all round, along with braided lines.

 

[SweetWagon]

Alternator was relocated as A/C was already removed and was after a cleaner look

Bracket I got made up

re-made starting/charging harness

Also relocated the coolant overflow tank to under the airbox

Next up was coilpack relocation and sorting out a catch can

Designed a new plate that intercepts the PCV valve and has 6 AN fitting.

Went for Radium engineering catch can, its a great little unit with dipstick included

Mocking up the new coilpack bracket

Rewiring the DFI module

MSD universal ignition lead kit

Finished

Found a used Yella Terra stealth W2A and snout come up for sale, grabbed them both for a good price and went about installing them along with a Mace insulator, to try combat the high IAT's which made the engine quite sluggish in the heat.

Pulled down ready to install intercooler

Mace insulator and YT snout

Custom made alloy fuel rails

Stealth plate fitted - the Mace insulator can be seen underneath, it was trimmed down to match the intercooler and painted.

I made up 6AN fuel lines

Water pump and Heat exchanged mounted

Reassembling blower after a quick paint in Matte Black

Got it all back together for the first time and had big vac leak so blower had to come back off!

 

[SweetWagon]

End result - im pretty happy with how it turned out, once vac leak was sorted i took it for a spin and just wants to shred the tyres, very quickly realised that the NPC clutch is not up to the task anymore though.

I participated in a track day on 13th May at Marulan Driver training centre. Tight track but was alot of fun despite not being able to use full throttle due to failing clutch.

Here is a quick incar vid

Will be sending the clutch back up the NPC soon to be upgraded, and hoping to attand more track days in future

That's fairly much exactly how I was thinking of doing my catch can too, I managed to pick up an elite engineering catch can for a good price.

Shame about the clutch.....

The black blower looks good, I'm planning to do something similar but with the VHT black wrinkle paint.
