Ok, todays effort. Sammich plate in. We got the box off and back on only for that ring thing in the clutch come off. Box off, fix and back on.

Next issue. TOP STARTER MOTOR BOLT! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Some idiot decided to cable tie the new water line from the rear of the head in the worst position ever. After a few hours (and some brain juice), it's in.

Let's see how we go tomorrow night!

i actually take the alternator tensioner bracket off, flip down the alternator and use a socket and extension and go through the front now. Takes about 15 minutes longer but i loose alot less blood

How many extra bloody lines do you need!?!

I just spent some time this arvo ripping all the crap off the intake side of my 26. So much (crap) stuff...

Be nice if it was less packed!

deleted heat exchanger (because it was contaminated with oil pump gears haha) and HKS put in a fitting from the back of the head for water to go to the top radiator hose housing. That's the prick that caused us issues

any progress ? or just waiting for dyno time

won't be long now. The car is at Unigroup at three moment. A few things to do and onto the rollers. With any luck by weeks end (Can only hope).

Any suggestions for oil type and brand to use for the run in?

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.
    • I am a volunteer marshal at the Grand Prix. As such, I get a "friend / family" ticket. It is a general admission ticket, valid for all 4 days. Anyone interested in my spare pass, please DM me. Ticket is "free, gratis and no expense".
    • agreed, the price vs gains it’s there.   unless you go china supercharger. Temu racing anyone?😂https://www.facebook.com/share/15nkfpsg7Z/?mibextid=wwXIfr that was one of the ones that popped up on my feed 😂
    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
