So it is pretty basic? Is it just a xe throttle bodie set, then you made a box to fit round them?

yeah xe tb's. back plenum is from a pulsar and has a backing plate inside it with small trumpets in. could pretty much fit any back plenum you want, just theyre a reasonable design being already tapered and pretty cheap to get hold of.

What sort of power gains you expecting? Fancy doing it to my nova. But will probably never happen.

ive absolutely no idea really. it will flow far better than the std inlet, which im damn sure was causing a massive restriction when higher up the rev's previously. im working it like you would an n/a. maybe should have just got for a plenum with on larger tb, i dont know. will see what this does first.

does your fuel reg just need any vacuum nic? iv had a look at fitting mine but iv no destructions, can i have a vac just off the inlet manifold and that will do?

pretty good really. be interested in the comparrison between that and a plate type driff. the atb seems to do what i want it to though. i mean it aint never going to be able to completely put power to the road. but it does its best.

yeah definatly, i was running 328 on standard diff, you try stop that spinning! hopefully be alot better tho.
This may be a stupid question but do you think an lsd will put extra stress on the shell or not?

yeah sure it will. on all the bushes etc aswell. its the torque that twists the chasis. more grip = more stress

some days i wish i had exciting updates. sadly today isnt one of them....
yeah, i know. why bother.
that pipe will hopefully work out well. larger end onto the vacuum distribution thing johnny found me, then smaller end to put brake servo pipe into. then i will have servo assisted brakes again. i hope.
weekend plans involve mounting the alarm siren thingy back onto a brakcet and making a braket for the catch tank to go on. and also cleaning out the car inside as its filled with bits of random pipes and boxes.
