What's going in that monster? Looks tough.

was going to be stroked windsor 351 - 427 with twin T04Z's but we have been approached by a certain manufacturer to build something else, so i'll let you know the minute its settled.

that looks like it was meant to be.....notice the fogger and solenoids. i like the way this boy thinks.

yeh baron, hoping it will all be worth it. will no soon enough.

lol. that is pretty cool. finally get that decent engine into a decent chassis. >_< I like it.

can't wait to see your thing rumbleing along stu. it will definitely rock.

haha, thanks for the warm welcome guys. my journey to the dark side is complete.

the guys in the drag section were getting confused when i started doing susupension & brake upgrades.

at least you guys understand whats going on.

Good to see the sig has been updated acordingly.

'Drain, I took him to watch some circuit racing on the weekend..........Conversion complete.

can we change the thread title to "drag setup/circuit setup conversion" ?

I see whatever you happen to have is contagious, Jase.

Shame. Stu was such a good bloke once upon a time, too!

:D

noooooooooo, have you seen him drive?

It's ok Adrian, there is still time to swap the auto back to a manual and since you haven't tubbed it yet, we can still get it to handle around a corner mate :ninja:

have been looking at intake manifolds for a while, the Harrop item was looking like the go

but after some research it was found that it would be difficult to adapt different length ram tubes to it as it was designed to fit in the commodore and this is not an option due to bonnet height etc. harrop was also very difficult to get in contact with as they do not return faxes or email. obviously dont want to sell any.

Came across another Australian made intake, well priced and is designed for interchanging ram tubes. i also know the guy who spins them up so can get a few sets made. once car is back on the ground and engine fitted im hoping to get one of these babies.

it depends on those that are doing stuff for me, example wiring, exhaust. i could have it together in a couple of days.

but still no cylinder heads. also waiting for a few front suspension bushes, so probably a month off.

when do you think you will have it ready to run?

recieved the best news ever today, my cylinder heads are ready. measured piston to cylinder head clearance and found we have to run a slightly thicker head gasket. cc'd the head and worked out comp will be around 11:1 if we deck 20thou of the head while still maintaining 80 thou piston to valve clearance. should have everything ready for assembly tomorro night.

Sounds like excellent news!

11:1 is a good compression ratio, a little higher than original...

Cant wait to see/hear a video of the engine roaring...

    • Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant
    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
