Some people have argued that long pipes will cause greater delay in when the boost is delivered but I think that argument was put to bed some time ago.

So Mark , when did you first realise you had a pipe and tubing fetish? :D

Do you have a date in mind when its going to be completed?
MOPAR - Move Over Power Arriving Rapidly

Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My Mopar upon you

As I have been getting too intimate with my Inter cooler tubing, thought I would move onto another area ;)

Quite a few other jobs completed on my 'To Do' list, but not worth photos, such as fuel lines, suspension sliding link re installed, etc, etc.

Made new mounting panel & mounted EFI bits n pieces

Image

Also made new Dash frame, still to receive a bit of paint

Gearbox upgrade parts should arrive today/tomorrow, so will be getting them up to Frosty as soon as I can.

Pete,
I have a plastic bag holder on the door

Ivor,
Your glasses are good, a lot of after makerket Hemi heads are cast for Twin plug, as a common option & this makes it a lot simpler. I dont intend to switch to twin plug
db wrote:Is there no disadvantage to having such long pipes to to the intercooler and back?
I guess so long as there aren't too many bends, there's no restriction?
In an ideal world, the shorter is the better option, but doesn't make a whole load of difference & as I am only playing, the will be no different to me/my set up

Doug,
It realise it started when I started to get plumbing weekly & found myself outside the newsagents at 5.30am, waiting for the new addition to be put on the shelf :D

Steve,
Yes, it's a Neal Chance converter. (10" Pro Mod)

It's the same as I had previously, just a few upgrade parts to match converter to my combo

Forgot to mention a big Thanks to Rick @ Firecore for sorting me out a new set of leads, plus a few spare. Excellent service, quick delivery & I recieved far more than I was expecting

I have also sort of sorted out the Cam Sync Sensor ? ? ?

Well I think I have, I know it works, but not 100% Confident, will find out when I power up the ECU
