Yeah custom air box will complete the rest of the cold air intake :grin:

Just realised the snorkel gets deleted guess a tickford snorkel will be for sale soon :wave:

Cheers Scotty :drinks2:

SOLD THE LTD going to miss that car :this:

Did end picking up one of those custom air boxe's which will complete the cold air intake
but due to running plastic piping i'll be losing power so im now thinking of a difillipo setup..

Other things i'll organise this week is vernier gear & clutch kit..
Leaving it down to reinforcing the firewall then dial in the cam and dyno tune...

Dont want to achieve that much just to prove to myself that if you put your mind to it that it can be done..

Target 157rwkw (210rwhp) naturally aspirated

E/T Target-14.00-99 seconds 1/4 mile

by **NL_CONCORDE** » March 28th, 2011, 1:16 pm

Mods to complete

* New Clutch kit
* Machine Flywheel
* Vernier Gear
* Dial in Cam
* Dyno Tune

Think thats it

by **BROCKYB8** » March 28th, 2011, 4:56 pm

looks good

by **SLY5LT** » March 28th, 2011, 11:09 pm

you can cross off the "cai" from your list now.....that air box looks spot on :good:

the polished panel.....ummmm :blink:

by **NL_CONCORDE** » March 28th, 2011, 11:52 pm

Found the polished panel hides where the snorkel should be and tidy's up the rad support
as a few engines scrapped it..
Also decent cai i mean 1 that aint made of plastic as i'll prefer fibreglass
Next will be clutch kit,firewall section,machine flywheel & vernier gear..

by **SLO4LT** » March 29th, 2011, 6:15 am

Airbox looks sweet with ur setup man, and I actually don't mind the polished panel, suits the rocker cover and extractors

by **NL_CONCORDE** » March 29th, 2011, 5:19 pm

Yeah got some track tyres comin in through the week :grin:

by **NL_CONCORDE** » April 4th, 2011, 11:53 am

The M/T 235/60/15's came in today now for some grip when runnin the 1/4 mile

by **SLO247** » April 4th, 2011, 7:31 pm

Nice work, car looks great.

I reckon some black spray paint on the firewall insulation would neaten the bay.

by **NL_CONCORDE** » April 4th, 2011, 7:41 pm

Good thinking mate as i didnt think of that so after i reinforce the firewall i'll hit it with a coat of paint.

by **NL_CONCORDE** » April 8th, 2011, 2:17 pm

Just Fitted with the help of mates a exedy sports tuff clutch kit
cbf vernier gear and dial cam for the moment

by **NL_CONCORDE** » April 17th, 2011, 3:15 pm

Manual fitted august 2009 so it wasnt that

Got 12 or 13 passes yesterday
Launching with these tyres and a manual is hard as it kept bogging down

Will put up pics soon

There is a video of my lane beating a vtec honda integra TypeR but unsure how to upload it off facebook

by **BROCKYB8** » April 18th, 2011, 9:08 am

good work .
Getting close to what you wanna get it to .

by **pedrobta** » April 18th, 2011, 10:31 am

awsome work joel!
how ong til you crack 14?

by **Parfrey** » April 18th, 2011, 12:04 pm

Those rear tyres/wheels look tuff! i want.

Pretty close to a 14! not bad for a big fairlane, i rekon you should aim for the 14.0 area

Car weighs 1600kg on rego sticker then myself 80kg
Take in mind the 15.1 pass was done while air temp was 20'c and track temp im unsure of
Usually when it becomes later on in the night track temp cools down and i get quicker passes
Street meet was only 12-4pm so if it went into the night i would of got a 14 sec pass

In sayin all this i had run a 15.3 then went back to my area unbolted the headlight and indicator
to see if the brockyb8 airbox would make a difference and had 3 15.1 passes straight after :yahoo:

So all thats left before heathcote is a vernier gear n dial in the cam then dyno tune
Thinkin bout goin j3 but seeing what i can get before that if i was to go j3

Checked a et calculator to see my approx power says i have 212.36rwhp which is 158.35rwkw
guess the dyno will give a precise reading

by **huggiebear** » April 18th, 2011, 4:50 pm

by **BROCKYB8** » April 18th, 2011, 4:53 pm

by **pedrobta** » April 18th, 2011, 6:47 pm

It's Proven now and its easy to pull out one of these headlights will be doin this at aff drags

by **huggiebear** » April 18th, 2011, 9:08 pm

i always had the idea of pulling a stock headlight apart and making an induction out if it. basically remove the glass (or plastic in your case) then a pipe from the access hole in the back to the intake

by **NL_CONCORDE** » April 18th, 2011, 9:31 pm

Mate i remember you saying that some time back so with your thought
im thinkin i'll pull a high series one apart using just the housing and spray it black
or find one with a faded plastic cos they just get thrown out anyway

Thanks Mate :drinks2:

by **huggiebear** » April 18th, 2011, 9:35 pm

i actually started making one about 3 years ago with a smashed headlight but no idea what happened to it lol. well worth the few minutes of clip undoing. with the EF/EL style light you might be able to cut between the 2 access holes top and bottom to make a big oval area. might only be needed with boost but the more the better i guess.

by **NL_CONCORDE** » April 18th, 2011, 10:18 pm

Well i think this will stay n/a as its still a daily
but when i reach my 14 sec pass i'll get bored and want more power :yahoo:

by **BROCKYB8** » April 19th, 2011, 8:44 am

Well we all know what that is like . I even want more power now .
:grin:

by **pedrobta** » April 19th, 2011, 11:27 am

i saw on ebay a couple weeks ago a custom headlight mold that held your pod filter....
and wouldn't you knot it, now i can't find it...

cant be as bad as the exel on the way home from work that has the pod filter sitting out the front bar... in direct rain.

by **NL_CONCORDE** » April 19th, 2011, 5:56 pm

im not sure if removing headlights & indicators is a good measure of how well the new intake works?

by the sound of it, the new airbox is restricting things
