Was it very nose heavy? What was the weight distribution like.

stealth · Post by **stealth** » Mon Aug 24, 2015 12:28 pm

Yes its front heavy ,67-33
But theres still a heap of bits and pieces , hoping to come back to 60-40 but I think I will struggle to get there

By the way do people want more pics of parts as there getting made or to much info allready
And making the extractors and exhaust what do you guys think single or twin pipes ??
Come on everybody has a opinion
Voice it !
Cheers stealth

I voice my opinion at work and i get the shit kicked out of me for it LOL

Personally, I think if your happy to put in the time and effort to type up what ur doing with these parts, then go for it
it will remain on the web for future reference

So here is the jig I made to weld up the pipes , just to make life easier

That side for bolting the flanges up to weld

This side is to make the "transition" from oval to round

Note the machined lip to get the shape perfect

The transition piece made out of 4 pieces and welded into shape

And in the jig

So thats a start , gotta make 6 nice looking transition piece's that ones a bit rough
And start on trying to hide pipes on the drivers side

I know I don't comment much of late, but I just want you to know that I get on here just about everyday, and have been watching your progress.
It's good to see you making progress with this, and almost motivates me to get back into mine.

Great work so far.

yeah you should be able to get close to 60-40 with weight disatrubution. you still need to fill a tank of fuel and can always move the battery to the boot. I say keep the pics coming.

So I have a major issue
The brake booster doesn't fit it hits the engine !, and legally I need a booster for rego
So now to decide what to do with it
Either remote booster or relocate the pedal assembly ?

Whats your opinion
Cheers stealth

Post by **Scorpma82** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 2:38 pm

Remote booster IMO

JimmyG · Post by **JimmyG** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 4:15 pm

Arnt the peddles needing to be redone for the hydrolic clutch anyway?

stealth · Post by **stealth** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 11:04 am

The pedal box does need some mods to accommodate the hyd clutch set up , but for the factory booster to fit I need to relocate the pedal set/ booster around 12mm outboard , had a good look at it and it wont be that bigger job just fiddly and I have to mount a new master cylinder anyway for the big brakes and all new lines
Just another hurdle to overcome , no stress
Its all part of the fun !
Cheers stealth

amgis_obrut · Post by **amgis_obrut** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 1:56 pm

whats the diameter of the oem booster ?

stealth · Post by **stealth** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 5:30 pm

152mm at its largest diameter
Heres a happy snap of the offending item , its actually quite small

What are you thinking amgis obrut ?
Im open to just about anything
If it was up to me I would not use a booster at all and Id just use a tilton pedal set mount it all inboard , but no way thats road legall
Cheers stealth

VH512 double diaphragm booster....off the early v8 90s commodore...,..and maybe the double diaphragm booster off the HQ,J,X

I was thinking smaller booster but 152mm is pretty hard to beat, moving it outwards is probably the best bet those remote boosters are pretty ordinary

Can the booster go inside, or not enough room between the pedal and firewall ?

stealth · Post by **stealth** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 8:43 pm

Scorpma thers no way a bigger booster will fit and remote mount ones are shit
Amgis -No way to go inside , no room at all
And not allowed for rego
I can move it over just more stuffing around
Cheers stealth

amgis_obrut · Post by **amgis_obrut** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 9:00 pm

odd that you cant run an under dash booster, its allowed in NSW !

stealth · Post by **stealth** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 6:19 am

I will definitely look into this , as I was told under nocp NO , I love to know why thay deem this unsafe
This is what sucks about modding road cars in this country, no hard rules
I was hoping that nocp was going to be a better system , oh well
Cheers stealth

amgis_obrut · Post by **amgis_obrut** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 4:12 pm

Thing is some vans have the entire booster and master cyl under the dash, I understand the problems with an MC in the cab (liquid leaks) but a booster is harmless

would be good if you had room for something like this
