Fitted a bit of bling that I bought off Wyndup to get the air from the filter into the turbo. I have 9 inches where he only had 6 so I had to cut a bit off the pipe to make it fit. Also managed to get hold of Factory headlight protecters and a pair of factory weathershields to help with the sleepy look. I put pictures of these up just to annoy Russ. I'm not going for a full sleeper, probably more a snoozer, at first glance it's asleep, but at a second look you realize that it's more than ready to pounce. As you can see, I'm packing 9 inches instead of the usual 6 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Got some motivation back today, went crazy and fitted up the C2H5OH injection system and the cooler piping ...would have been good if I had some silicone....knew I forgot something....didn't even have any race tape so good old masking tape has to do for now, should be good for 15psi or so at a guess�.The inlet is only dummy fitted at this stage, will put it on properly tomorrow�maybe. (This one is for you Russ�) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Big delay has kicked in....will be lucky if I can get this thing done before xmas now...have to find a new, smaller house, minus wife, kids and any money that I may have had....also work has me away from Adelaide for 20 of the next 26 weeks.

sorry to hear brother What exactly is the C2H5OH setup? What does it do? I'm assuming something to do with lowering inlet temperatures Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

C2H50H is Ethanol... So in other words yes it will make the inlet tempretures very cold..

PM Sent with Waynes sisters number. Not good to hear man, hope things are ok.

Things are all right mate, life goes on. Thanks for the number, I'll give her a call later on....oh can you send her name too please, otherwise it's gonna be Hi, I don't know your name but Matt, that famous guy from CT, sent me your number....

lol Sorry man, its Steph from memory. Ta.

Thanks Matt, you are a CT legend. I'll give her a call in the next couple of days. If things go well I'll buy you one of those gay cocktails that you drink. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Appletinis, and they are a straight drink thank you very much.

The same can't be said about the person drinking them.....

I realised that I had had a brain fart when I mounted the converters. What I did was mount them up in good old Impco NA V8 fashion which does me a fat lot of good when I am running a turbocharged GRA setup. The guts of it is that the springs in the GRA setup are really light and vertical mounting would ensure that the mixtures are all over the shop hence I just spent the best part of a day moving them. On the bright side, they are now mounted horizontally, the manifold is all bolted up again, buggered if I know how the catch can will ever come out again, and I'm just about ready to do the final few bits before tuning...like fitting the silicone, the last of the wiring (shift light, alcohol injection activation circuit and light and fitting of the other niff-naff). Only a few hours work, but as per usual I am waiting on parts that I always seem to order at the last minute...probably won't see another bit until after Christmas at a guess. It'd be handy if there were any good performance shops in Adelaide that didn't charge an arm and a leg (and that's only the deposit) for parts. I'll get some pics as soon as I get a camera, lost custody of the last one. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

im loving this build man! should be a nice package i see your running twin tanks, id toyed with this idea too to get around the power limits of a single valve tank, are you going to run twin gas lines and twin lockoffs?

Yeah twin everything, except fillers. I am currently researching a new sort of tank that will get around these flow problems, basically custom built rectangular tanks with as many outlets as you want. Looking at about 110litres of gas with the tank where the original goes. Will keep people posted on this one. Doesn't look like they are going to be cheap though. Also these flash new tanks will still turn into ice-blocks when you are giving it a bit though (under on track race conditions of course). Another point to investigate...I think I still have a set of tyre-warmers lying around, now to find a way to make it work, could well be in the too hard basket, but time will tell. May have to fast track the new tank bit as one of my tanks expires this year.

Nitrous bottle warmers are your friend.
