Still just going to be a winch truck, no plans to go off road racing.
What was just gonna gonna be a ignition upgrade is spiraling out of control.............
Gonna end up with a bottom end that will take a 1000 hp the way its going :lol: :lol:

Really just need a bit of extra grunt for our club fun rallys, gettin hard to compete with vitaras running sr20dets and the like......... :mrgreen:

Made up the other side manifold............

Image

Image

Image

Old verses new..........

Image

Inside the factory ports...... Rubbish :evil:

Image

Image

Had to put the bare block back in the truck and bolt on the heads to check clearances, and as a complete surprise it actually missed the steering shaft......... :D :D

Image

Image

Passenger side had nothing to miss but though id better check......

Image

Image

So now i just need to weld them up fully and then recheck them in the engine bay after welding them up, one more thing off the list :D

Looking at ya headers ya made.. top effort but why didnt ya just reem out the innners on the factory ones to make them breath easier.. from the pictures.. the pipe size looks almost the same..? Seems a lot of effort for what I would see as little gain.. for the hassle.. :mrgreen: gawd what a mouthful.. :lol: I've looked at the same but going to reem mine when the time comes.. :wink: less everything.. but keep up the great work.. cant wait till seeing it all going agaain with the new toy strapped on.. :twisted:

Photos are a bit deceptive on the sizing, old ones were struggling to make 30mm id, new ones are 41mm, i think they should make a bit of difference. In saying that, i never had any issues gettin it to rev before...

Why didn't you make some Extractors? When I used to hot V8s up thats what we did. I know it is more work but they go better.

Did that about 3 years ago, changed to a smaller, more common(free) camry alternator, only 70amps, but doesn't have a hernier when it's under the water.
