No i rang them few times and no answer. So no point going on 30min drive to find it closed.

Dave_Gilbert

Gutted, I wanted the let injectors, oh well I will order them off him I think. If you get hold of him in the morning I dont mind going.

Dave_Gilbert

Here a pic of the pcv mod

Inlet manifold on

@[deleted] game down for the day and help keep me entertained when carl was busy making the bolts for the alternator and air con gapping.

Took time out to work on a spare rocker cover to replace the dirty one

Slowly getting a nice shine to the cover. Keeps me busy at least lol.

Alternator, aircon refitted and idle pulley fitted with the additional pulley.

Work continues!! More pics when i get some time.

milo

So into the bat cave and onto modding the pump housing for the walbro pump

Widening the base to allow fitment of the pump.

Part 1 done pump in and sitting nicely

Now onto modding the top part of the housing.

Pump done

Yep been running sonce 3pm. Just doing finishing touches now. Fitting boost gauge walbro pump etc. Will upload more pics and vids when i get home on monday bud. U couldn't take the smile off my face when it was ticking over and then rev it to hear the charger. The charger its self is quiet! No bangs or rattles, car running so smooth.

HarleyPete
