I will see what the dyno tune throws up, but at this stage i have consumed all of my funds and i just want to get back out on the track. As with any car, they are always a work in progress.

on funds: well-understood. glad to see progress, keep it up.

Had my headers made, chose a 4 into 1 setup.

I also made my side exit exhaust today

Now a shot with the air intake fitted.

Nice this is looking awesome. where in Aus are you??

Also the guy who made your headers would he be willing to make another set? need to get some as mine are gone with the wind so to speak lol.

[joolz635]

I live in Hervey Bay, Old. Yes he will make more but he will need your car. I actually had another set made for a friend. The cost $500 a set

Those headers are shit-hot.

[unevolved]

This is awesome. We need more ITBs around.

Very nice work and clean set up. Tell me, how loud is that? Any chance we see and hear a video? :)

[joolz635]

The engine has not been started yet, but it's not too far away now.

Wow- nice numbers!

Any idea what that hole at 4750 rpm's about? Might be a bit low to worry about,
but, as they say, torque wins races...

Yeah its turbulence created by the ITB's. I can't wait to see how it goes on the track on Friday.

hey nice build. i particularly like the airbox and i'm attempting to do something similar on my M20

what size primary and secondary on those headers? what size throttles and inlet runners are the dbilas? For the M20 they are over the top maybe the same for the M42?

i used to travel to Hervey bay / Maryborough every few weeks for a couple years up until about a year ago.
