8 years & over $50 down I finally got a copy!! Talk about determination! ;):rolleyes::D

Slow progress trying not to snap the bolts through the coolant passages! Progress regardless...

I got lucky seeing this car for sale & suspected the wheels were 15s. I was a little sneaky and asked specifically for the tyre size.... I was very careful not to reveal what I knew to the PO! I even scored some shop manuals in the deal! The car is from Sth Africa as a grey import & is full of...

Looks like you’re spot on! No idea how you knew that, there’s hardly any info on the web about them! Thanks heaps Bryce! Just to confirm, yes I now have 5 x 15” Bundts! Soon to be refurbished... :cool::D

The reason I ask....

Keeping the enemies closer... Had a pretty wild drive today! :cool:;):D

I recently created a new page on Facebook for those who don’t quite fit in!

Anyone recognise it? It’s got me stumped...

If you think you’ve finished, you’re not looking hard enough! ;):rolleyes:

Well it can only get cleaner!!:eek::o Mock up manifold on spare engine starting next shed day...

Did someone mention tapping into the AC?? https://fiinterchillers.com/

Well isn’t that an interesting development!! Seems others are also supporting these models since they’re gaining in popularity & value... I like their dedication & the diameter of the primaries is good but I still see opportunities for improvement! I’ll have to make my own with the help of some...

Outlets on the headers should be AT LEAST 59mm (2.32") for a 6.9 and 58mm (2.28") for a 560. That's each side....

Finally I have the ability to add real figures to this thread! By my calculations the following should be adopted for optimal performance. Oh and these sizes are MINIMUM ID (NOT OD as pipes are normally specified). Include lots of bends (and not straight-through mufflers) in your design and...

Finally people are starting to experiment to the benefit of all chasing more MB HP! Not sure if there’s enough headroom in this assembly, but I’ll see if the theory can be tested & hopefully we’ll find out for sure!

I just measured the usable area of the snorkel... a piddly 67x56mm at its narrowest point!! The widest is 80mm. It was so wrong at the very start of the intake! Not accounting for any bends or excessive length, it should be a minimum 79mm round. Not sure how I stuffed that up but probably too...
