Just a daily car doing club track work via SAU VIC and other car clubs. Winton isn't too much a problem. But somewhere like Sandown and Phillip Island (Havent been but assuming so) might be With the stock setup, car was getting really hot under the car and oil temps up to 130 towards the end of the day at Sandown. So would only last about 8-10 mins out of a 15min session before oil temps started to get out of control. This was on a 20c day. So now with this new manifold, turbo and summer approaching. Hoping heat shielding and an oil cooler will do the trick. Seems a bit of a waste doing track days and having to pull in early in sessions because your car is overheating -
After doing a bit of reading this morning. The ACL Heatshields seem to be the go http://www.aclperformance.com.au/prod_heatshield.htm

Thanks Roy! That looks quite nasty..... Will definately do something about this manifold. Maybe I need to make a custom heat shield Stock one had a heat shield where this does not

Just need to fix the aircon hose. Do the injectors and afm then Im done! Just waiting on a booking time from Trent/Cat Oh and also ordering a new 3inch 100 cell venom 5inch body cat. Found out my old cat was 2.6inch. And don't want to run a de-cat dont want a potential $10,000 fine

Oh me no know. I just remember another mate asking me the other day lol Haven't changed the preload on the actuator didn't need to remove in on the install, so its as is from Stao Cheers!
-
Hey Stao Quick question. Do you know if Trent will adjust the boost via the adjustable actuator you have provided on the turbo or via a turbotech boost T that I currently have on the car? If he just uses the adjustable actuator to control boost ill rip out the boost T out of the car.

Haha Alvin FTW! I hear theres more footage of Alvin. Do a behind the scenes edit of him

It's a track car but still my daily Well that's intradasting. We might cut another or bigger hole and loop it through. Will let you guys know what we eventually do!
-
Hrmm ill see what I can do. I'll double check but Im pretty sure its hard up right against the entrance hole, so there isn't much movement in trying to tie it hard against the chasis. Heat wrap might last one session at Sandown Scotty lol Anyway I've left it with my mate to have a think about what we do

So after a weekend of fitting the turbo, apart from the aftermarket manifold fun which set us back 4-5 hours everything was smooth sailing. Water line was a quick fix and apart from one the of the oil fittings now being short, job was pretty straight forward. Helps having a mate that sorta does it for a living and a workshop at your disposal though. One issue I am having though and I think other people have had is the dump pipe now sits up hard against a particular rubber house. Air con house or something I think? Picture below: What have people done to overcome this? Being a track car, that rubber hose and whatever is under there is going to burn in about 5 minutes.

Haha the more I drive it the more I like it!
