Thanks Richie -- -- I'll have to look and see if my magic box can do that -- would differentially be cheaper than buying those 1000gph injectors

Well today got the oil lines,boost pipes &lines finished,I also had changed my mind on the oil return to the sump from the filter head,so had a couple of fitting welded to the sump and then tapped it for the oil temp senders.Next a couple of wiring changes and put the manifolds back on and it should be ready  cheers richie,uk |

The funny thing is it doesn't look like much going on in the engine bay; It's all happening on the back seat. Make sure you video the testdrive on Katella Ave.  Frank |

Make sure you video the testdrive on Katella Ave. Frank Theres a reason why theres no pictures from inside the back of the car sand it will proberly be slightly further away as all the orads round here are being dug up,not ideal for a gentle test drive Well it is all done,got the pipe done and fitted,checked everything else is good,took an educated guess on a fuel& ignition map and its ready, just waiting for the people in the next workshop to go home so I can start it cheers richie,uk |

Jeff,I am only a newbie on the Katella block Anyway apart from a leaky push rod tube seal its all good,I had to add a bunch more fuel than I thought,the header glowing red just bedding the cam in was a little surprising  Its all good now,tommorow some street drivng should give me more idea of what it wants but it does sound different and good cheers richie,uk |

Nice work Richie!
Do you follow any piston ring break in procedure?
Oil pressure/external relief worked ok?

Yes,give it about 5 miles gentle cruising to make sure its all ok,then boost it i like to put load on it as soon as possible,just a few pounds of boost seals them up really quick. The external relief seems good,took a couple of goes to get the pressure where I wanted it,and I will have to adjust it some more as the break in oil is thicker than I will run normally so the pressure will change when I swap cheers richie,uk |

which heads are you running at the moment, angle flows or the JPM ?
It will be great to see the different numbers and engine temps that either setup runs
good luck

I Know put a JPM on one side and a angle port on the other and you can tell which one is best but the direction the car pulls as your going down the drag strip |

Hmmmm? will a high output engine like the turbocharged ones require a higher oil pressure? There will be much more load on the bearings (rod bearings) would it be smart to turn up the pressure to avoid " breaking trough" the oil film, or is it smarter to be sure that the oil passes trough the bearings faster?? Any ideas or know how out there?

Ron,this is the JPM headed version,I will see how it works,dynos and runs at the track then try the Angleflows. cheers richie,uk |

The way I understand it is that as hp[load] increases so does the pressure on everything else,I have tried as low as 40lbs oil pressure and as high as 100lbs and not seen any real evidence of noticable difference,however changing oil brand& viscosicity and type[mineral,semi and fully synthetic] makes a huge difference.But clean oil at the correct temperature is much more important,Also bearing material and quality make a huge difference cheers richie,uk |
