15-11-07, 22:36 GMT+10#41 2nd gear was used on the dyno.
It runs a front mount.
I don't have a copy of the mixtures but he did mention he thought the convertor was maxed out.
The balance line was plumbed wrong and the cap that was supposed to be fitted over the button on top of the convertor has been left off. If this is fitted it should flow a bit more. Im waiting till i get the second convertor to wind up the boost, just to be on the safe side.
As it is, it cruises really well and is the same cost to run as my 4 cylinder daily.

Trans has a kit and a 3000 high stall and runs low 13s with 18s on nankang 40 series rubber.
Just a single B2 convertor, soon to be 2 and with around 16psi so it should see around 200+ at the wheels and with slicks dip into the 11s.
:O fire up damo! machiiinee

19-01-08, 15:09 GMT+10#49 I love the sleeper look. Looks like a landcruiser. Very nice.

not sure mate.. once it does 1500 kays on gas we need to take it back.. lean it out and get it dynoed.. hopefully 1 more week.. the motor is around 385 hp but we have noooo idea what that would make at the wheels.. its not a high revving race enging (even though its fucking fast) its mainly a towing car.. if we would of known how fun it is too drive.. we woulda put in a 502

and i think the distance from converter to t/b is to reduce the chance of flow interuption and also to help with starting/priming and throttle response n what not. on my old VK i had a converter mounted verticly and had at least a metre from converter to t/b and never had a problem...
but obviously youd want to do it by the book in a high performance setup.
Does it really effect the responsiveness?
Once running the vapour line should have a constant gas supply shouldn't it?
And what if an electronic primer was fitted?
Would this fix the cold start problems?

23-03-08, 19:45 GMT+10#57 Is GRA gear the only real way to go with boost?
No other mixers people have tried and recommend?
I already puchased a GRA T/B off someone on this site and never recieved it. The price they are fetching makes me real anoyed that im going to have to pay another $500approx for another T/B

I have just become one of their supplier/ fitters in Vic.
