Nice, is the engine bay layout staying the same with the new combo?

What size turbo are you going for?

[WOMBIE]

I like that shot where your ripping it up off road by the looks of it....just before the re spray was it lol.One things for sure though and that's a built 402 and a bigger tubo is gunna make some insane power.Good luck with it all mate :)

[HSV271]

Great looking ride you have there Timmy.

:cheers:

No silly burnouts off the road here, that stuff is torture on the car:soap: . The paint job was a result of the lovely hail storm that hit sydney in december damaging my oe bonnet, roof and gaurds plus i had some scratchees and stuff i wanted to get fixed on the rear end that was there when i got the ute. Great job as i havent paid a cent for the paint except for the basic excess.
This pic was taken nearly at the end of a 178kph off at wakefield's main straight last september, i cut the dogleg to tight and dropped the front drivers wheel into the dirt then sucking me infield at 178kph according to the data logger. Scary shite:lmao: .

[Delft Maloo]

Engine layout will be pretty much the same but i have a new pwr radiator to go in and ill be doing away with my little coolant tank and ill try and polish a fe things and put some heat sheilding in there too.
Turbo size will either be a garrett gt42-45r or a russo sourced special, looking for enough flow for a real 1000hp, might not push the engine that far though.

Go the Russo turbo Timmy and and youll definately need to spend more money....on a parachute :D

[Delft Maloo]

what are you doing with yours rick, is it coming off the ute?

[veewhytu]

what are you doing with yours rick, is it coming off the ute?

It's off mate :burnout: , i just can't leave things alone,some people change cars i change combos :lol: .
Since new the ute so far has been stock, bolt on, cam only, N2o/cam, turbo and turbo/cam :driving:.

On the way is head and (another) cam....but my turbo kit will make its way onto a newly purchased strip only car i have high expectations for :dance:

Love that 3 valves per cylinder setup along with the Sainty rocker covers.. the new ls1 goodness is here!...cant wait to see what you can tune out of her, dont forget the dfco :lol:

[Delft Maloo]

dont forget the dfco :lol:

i dont think ill be able to get the dfco to activate with the lack of vacumn from the cam and boost resulting in the higher manifold pressures.

[veewhytu]

My rear crossmember broke in exactly the same place after a few big nitrous assisted launches...farken scary on the brakes at the top of the track.

I wonder if its specific to the utes or whether sedans have had the same issue?

[Delft Maloo]

iv been told buy a few shops that they have onlyseen it happen in utes so far:toetap: .

[BOMI]

Great pics Timmy, looking goooooood :yep:


Troy :)

[Muncha]

How is the engine install coming along?

Are you going to run the standard intake manifold with the new set up or something aftermarket?

[Delft Maloo]

ill throw some more pics up tommorow but work is slow as im quite patient this time around:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: . i have no real need to get it all running for a little while but im hoping it should be on the road and mostly complete at the end of sept, depending on $ of course.

The std ls1 heads and manifold will be retained for a little while but will be replaced with l76-92-98 heads, the manifold will most likely be a gm perfomance single plane carby style manifold unlees i find the extra $ to go one of russo's lsx pro intakes or 8tb setup:drool: .

[Muncha]

I have seen some cars run some big numbers with a carby style manifold, but a 8 throttle body set up would look great. :)

[Delft Maloo]

the 8tb setup would be a lot of wank really but wouldnt it get some looks:yike: .

[Delft Maloo]

A few more pics, the motor is just waiting for me really to put it in then hey presto it will all come together.

Clutch all fitted up and all i have to do is finish knocking on the balancer and put the power steer pump back on now that i have it back from getting new seals done.
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb105/tkwpalm/005.jpg
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb105/tkwpalm/007.jpg
Got the passanger side strut tower all covered up with stick on reflective heat matting, its the exact stuff holden puts on the floor above the cats to keep the heat away.
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb105/tkwpalm/008.jpg
My new Vz radiator is ready to go in, a steal for $350 off the ls1 forums then $150 to get a few things modded for me like height and mounting lugs, now no more squashed std holden radiator and catch can:yahoo: it did not fault though:bravo: .

The old motors now sitting in the crate under the rear patio waiting to be rebuilt one day. Good cat bed also so it seems.

[toey]

hey tim good to see some progress from last thursday when i was around (albeit minimal lol). if it was me id be jumping out of my skin to get it finished and back on the road

[Delft Maloo]

Thanks mate, you should do a thread on your own ride too.
Im lacking motavation as i dont have the funds to finish it atm, hopefully in a few weeks it will be just about done.

[GMMAD]

coming together nicely Tim
you have done a brilliant job with all the mods you have done
what size turbo are you going to run with the new 402
gt42?

[Delft Maloo]

yeah a gt42-45 spec sized turbo. Hopefully ill be able to get it in a couple of weeks.

Nice Radiator :cheers:

[vyssII]

Making some progress mate! Good to see your keeping your work space tidy!:toetap:

Its going to be a wicked combo!!! You better have it finished by Christmas so I can have a drive of it!:drivin: :chuckle:

[Delft Maloo]

Well some more progress has been made today and the motor is now bolted in, as for your xmas drive adam? katie says you'll be lucky if its on the road by then but i have other ideas.

[Muncha]

Are you putting any of that heat proof matting on the bonnet?

I had a turbo VS a few years ago without any heat protection and steam would come off the bonnet in the rain. :)

[GMMAD]

thanks for that ill keep an eye on it.

what wastegate are you using with the t04z?

[Delft Maloo]

Are you putting any of that heat proof matting on the bonnet?

I had a turbo VS a few years ago without any heat protection and steam would come off the bonnet in the rain. :)

i havent had anything on the bonnet since i put the turbo on last year as the turbo beanie had done a great job and iv had no probs so far but the new turbo will be bigger so i might be a good idear to cover the underside of the bonnet in that area, thanks.

what wastegate are you using with the t04z?

i actually had the older t04e befor and i used a turbosmart progate 45.
the new turbo will get another wastegate of similar size but i dont know which type yet probably tial or the like as they are a fair bit smaller then the old turbosmart ones but i have seen a new turbosmart wastegate add and the gates looked very similar the tial and hks ones, they looked very different and much smaller to the original turbosmart ones.

[Delft Maloo]

Well the motors all fitted and wired now, i fitted the radiator, pwr steer tank, pwr steer cooler and all the lines yesterday. Iv gone back to running a full std holden exhaust setup for the time being till its rego'd next week then ill put my turbo exhaust on it to get some noise back allthough it will be stupid loud as the exhaust only has 2 medium mufflers at the exit 1 for each pipe.
The turbo will come along hopefully not to far down the track aswell. I also spent a heap on speedflow fittings for everything and got all the hoses and conectors for the fuel system allready too. The motor is running a stock intake setup aswell as i got rid of all my other stuff when the turbo went on but my mate adam(vyss2) is sending me his old otr to run for a while, thanks champ:yep: .

I fired it up last night after filling all the fluids, sounded a bit rough for a few seconds but it came good and should smooth out once i get to retuning it.
It was good to finally have it running but i found 2 bloody oil leaks, 1 from a crack/fracture in the sump and the other is coming from the oil feed cap above the oil filter spot. I have checked out the oil feed spot and it looks fine but id say the rubber seal in there must be damaged, iv sealed it up with gasket silicon aswell and it looks like it is doing the job, as for the sump crack well the ute is going down to my alloy welder monday morning and he'll fix it up for me.
Rego coming next week so that will be good as ill get to drive it for the first time since the start of may and im sick of spending money on it and not being able to drive it:headbang: .

[saj]

I love these threads.:cheers: The utes coming along nicely, whens it going to be tuned ?



im sick of spending money on it and not being able to drive it:headbang: .

I know how you feel :sigh:

[Delft Maloo]

as soon as i rego it ill get stuck into, iv been tuning my own cars for nearly 2 years now, got fun and saves me alot of money.

[toey]

thats the go tim. bet u cant wait to get the new hair dryer fitted up. ill have to come check it out next time im down in dub

[DaveHAT]

Good to hear the B&S ute is mobile again Toimii. :D :happy:

:bravo:

Re: the newly found leaks post engine install ... ahhhhhhhh the joys of the modified car game.

Keep the details coming ... good write up.

[Delft Maloo]

Well i got my sump fixed and all is good now. i have the ute all back together and its going for a pink slip and a new engine number tommorow so hopefully all goes well, im a bit worried about the tyres though as they are under the load rating by about 10kg so hopefully they only check the condition of them which is still like new.
The fun part of tuning has started now and i seem to have it idleing ok atm but im still playing with it. The rest of the tuning will come easy but the ute is dying for an exhaust and intake to help it breath.
Its sure weird sitting in the coulsons again, they are so nice and tight on the body and reasurring to sit in. Every thing else on the ute feels pretty heavy and hard core compared to the ve but i like it this way as its the way a hotted up car should be.
oh well hopefully rego goes good and i dont have any troubles getting a new engine number from the police:pray: .

[vyssII]

I'll be putting the OTR in the post for you this Saturday mate. That should see the instake side of things sorted.

[Delft Maloo]

Well today went mostly good but im still not rego'd. I have to get the tint on the door windows reduced as it is well beyond legal, i did know this befor but it was something i didnt even think of:nutbag: they are that dark that i actually have to put the windows down to reverse at nigh time because i cant see where im going:lmao: .

The police side of things was a breeze and quite funny as they have never done an engine check befor so the officer was asking me where the number was supposed to be:chuckle: he was good about it though. The blue slip bloke has to now fax the paper work through to the rta so they will then check the documents and police confirmation and issue an engine number to be stamped into the new block. The stamping of the engine number is going to be a pain as the only place i can see for it to go is behind the passanger side head right against the firewall, im happy i dont have to do it:chuckle: .
tommorow the ute goes to get a full wheel alignment and then on saturday morning the tint is getting taken care of so hopefully earlly next week the turbo timmy mobile will be all done and drivable.

[Muncha]

Good to see it almost back on the road.

[35R]

hurry up timmoi, remember i will be handing your arse to you (on a brass platter) at Wakefield later this month

[Delft Maloo]

id say thats a deffinate as i have no turbo yet so if i make it i will be running na which will probably be quicker, i still have those 3rd-5th hand yoka tyres and a stuffed lsd too.

ahh buggah. That reads like you'll be a no-show :(

[Delft Maloo]

ahh buggah. That reads like you'll be a no-show :(

im trying to get there despratly but tis the wrong time of year $ wise, iv got plenty of extra work in november which wil finish the ute but like normal when i have the time i dont have the money and when i have the money i dont have the time.

I will put all efforts forward to making it there.

Tim, don't sweat it mate. best not to rush these things. There will always be another track day :)

[Rattler]

Mate, just finished reading your thread! Awesome!! Alot of blood, sweat and tears has gone in to this thing mate and congratulations are in order! :faint:

Like LSX said, don't rush it mate! When it's ready, then she'll shine!

Again, great read and congratulations!

thanks mate its been a bit tough some times but it is coming together.
im having fun trying to get this thing idleing atm, it actually idles fine but depends on the tune direction im going it will either stall when pulling up on the clutch or when i get that fixed it will cruise on with out the throttle like cruise control, im going in circles atm:dunno: .
Hopefully get my engine number stamped and rego'd on tuesday then ill get my turbo exhaust put straight on and the windows retinted, thanks to adam:cheers: ill get an otr on here to tye me over for a little bit till i get a new turbo for it and go chasing big power and fast times again.

thats easy to sort out mate,

in the throttle cracker table set anything 20km/h above back to standard. then adjust below 20km/h to get it to stop stalling when pulling up to the lights..

thanks dale the cracker and follower is what im about to play with, the trouble is my raf isnt right and my 02's are stuffed so im not using them meaning i have no idle trims to dial in the raf properly.
the hard part is finding out what some of the tables are supposed to do and for what reason.
im about to go back to stock with nearly all settings and start bumping the raf up untill it idles ok with out the iac and timing correction helping it, once thats done it should be sort of good and not cruise on when off the gas and as dale suggested use the cracker to take over the stalling issue when pulling up on the clutch.

iv spent a heap of time on hpt forum but most of the information is very contradictory to itself from different people and finding some of the meanings and effects on some of the tables is near impossible.

[Delft Maloo]

Thanks heaps dale it seems to be sorted atm.
I end up putting about 15% more into the raf to get it to run nice, i has previously drilled the tb hole larger so it didnt require a massive increase, at operating temps its at about 8.27g/sec @92*c compared to the stock 7.23g/sec.

With the cracker i increased the 400-1000rpm columns from 6-19kph. Iv cleared everything above 1000rpm as it was cruising on a little(this is with dfco turned off) and blanking these areas fixed this problem, is there any negatives from doing this though?

now once its rego'd i get it tune it all fully.

you need to check the idle trims, if they are close then the raf is right,

throttle cracker wont effect anything that high up, it will just stop the engine dropping back to idle revs as fast

[Delft Maloo]

you need to check the idle trims, if they are close then the raf is right,


im not running any 02's atm so so its a bit hard to get it right, is there anyway to take the feedback from the wideband for the idle trims instead. Ill eventually get some new 02's later.

not 02 trims, idle trims.

log STIT and LTIT and that will tell you what you want to know

[Delft Maloo]

can i log stit & ltit with my wideband?

[10sec_rx7]

can i log stit & ltit with my wideband?

if you have your wideband plugged in to HPT then yes...

STIT has zero to do with the wideband tho

[Delft Maloo]

Well the maloo is now all registered and legally drivable. I have my new engine number all sorted after yet another head ache with the rta(some of those people are dumb) it was a good visit i only waited 3-5mins to be served then it took another 50mins to get it all finalized, ohwell thank god its all done.
Whats funny in the running around i did in the ute pre rego it clocked up nearly 80klms:eek: , i tell you i lapped the blocks around home a heap while sorting the idle tuning out.
I got the windows retinted yesterday arvo and it goes into the exhaust shop in the morning to get my turbo system put back on and some pipes made up to adapt it back to the std manifolds on each side, adam is sending down the otr shortly so ill be up and tuning in no time.
Bye god does it sound like sh*t with a completly stock exhaust and intake on it, the poor thing is being choked.
I can allready feel the extra cubes in it even though the tune isnt done and its still restricted it will spin the tyres in 2nd when you plant it once allready in motion.
well im happy and come tomorow ill be happier once it sounds like a v8 again.

[Duffman]

Sounds like it's all coming together nicely Tim :yep:

I might have missed it, but is the turbo/s going back on soon or is it staying n/a for a while?

[Delft Maloo]

it will be staying na for a little bit untill i earn some extra $, hopefully it should be done bye december-january just depends on extra work.

[Delft Maloo]

Well not much has been happening here except for our recent track day which finally saw and end to my original brakes, the whole way home from goulburn they were grinding and squealing(lucky i didnt go out for another afternoon session).
I got round to looking at them a few days later as the noise was peeing me off and discovered my pads are so far gone the the backing or something is rubbing on the disc, not to mention the rotors are nicley grooved and hot spotted. the backs arent as bad as the front but still need replacing.
As you might of sen i put a wanted add up and i had a few good offers but due to a slight shortage of cash i could only make a purchase on credit so i spent a bit of time looking for the best brakes i could get for reasonable $.
I ended up getting the HSV Ap racing kit like alot of others here have and i did get it for a good price of $3100, lucky i did not get them from holmart as of recent events:swear: .
heres a couple of pics, ill get some pics of the old brakes and a couple of the installation if i get to it tomorow.

[GTS Listy]

Plenty of good comments from them APs and great value.

I know the feeling about one minute the pads are find and next it is bare metal on rotors. Buggered a near new set of rotors like this. I have a rule now that any less that 5mm pad left they are changed regardless.

[fatas]

were did we get them for that price ???? :faint:

[Delft Maloo]

were did we get them for that price ???? :faint:

it was actually an ebay buy but from a holden dealer, i can check to see if she has more available? i have her number.
i do know of another place that sells them for $3250 but ill have to find the add again.

[lautray]

Grand score Timmy... they are awesome for the money :yep: .

[35R]

Great brakes, especially for the money. And a bargain @ $3100 Timmoi.

[Delft Maloo]

Got the new brakes fitted up today, i didnt have time to do an install thread as we were short on time and it was a very quick job.
Heres some pics anyway.
Check out the 17"spare on the rear, theres only about 5mm of clearance on the caliper, tight fit hey.

Money very well spent, Tim. Now you've got the whoa to match the gooooooo :).

[DaveHAT]

Good job Timmoi ... lesson be learnt for the wary punter.

Don't put the eggs all in one basket ... power upgrades should include a corresponding brake upgrade.

(or at least some maintenance :D)

[Delft Maloo]

Brakes:confused: you only need them to stop:lol: .
All things were eventually going to be upgraded in line with the power increase, still got turbo kit, coil overs, mini tubs, interior mods, cage and others to go yet.

[fatas]

want to sell me your old brakes ?:idea:

[toey]

u wernt lying when u said they were shaged, the front rotors look pretty thin judging by the depth of the slots compaired to the rears

[HSV271]

Well done on the install Tim and great pickup on the brakes... Now there is no stopping on the track. :doh: :stick:

[Delft Maloo]

i need some goo tyres as my old ones are stuffed and they are to small now being 17".
Also have to get my diff done aswell so it will stop single spinning trying to exit the corners.

[Delft Maloo]

Well its been a few months(over4) since i updated the thread and since more mods are under way it might be time to do it now.

Well first off since getting a flat on the way to our private wakefield day last november i finally got around to taking the yellow spare off and getting 2 new tyres for the rear at the end of march, i got some 245-35-20 toyo proxy4's and they are doing a nice job atm.

Im allways keeping an eye out for parts for the ute and whey boyley put up an l76 manifold for sale i had to snap it up so i could add it to the ute in time.
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb105/tkwpalm/Turbobuild2010.jpg
After getting this manifold i thought i would see if anyone had a set of heads for sale that would suit it, after a few pm's form guys i ended up getting a set of l98 heads off a ve that have only done approx 9k, with the heads also came another intake manifold and tb, so now i have 2 square port(l76-l98-ls3) manifolds and 2 electronic tb's.
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb105/tkwpalm/Turbobuild2018.jpg
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb105/tkwpalm/Turbobuild2017.jpg
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb105/tkwpalm/Turbobuild2022.jpg
In preperation for more mods to the ute i got around to cleaning up the shed so i know where my tools are and have some room to work, allthough the wife thought that with the shed clean her car could go back in and it did for a couple of nights.
Once clean i thought it would be a good idear to get some good lights in there as over the last 2 years while working on the car and fabricating the turbo kit and other things iv been making do with the single light bulb in the centre and when needed iv been setting up some work lights but the globes dont last long in those. I put 2 double tube long fluro's in the shed, one in the centre and the other in the last 3rd of the shed so i would have plenty of light around the fron of the cars and tools. OMG what a difference it is to be able to see, its like daylight in there now but better its a nice even white light.
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb105/tkwpalm/Turbobuild2019.jpg
Well the ute went back in to the garage today aswell so i could pull it apart and start working on the new turbo kit. The front bar and radiator plus other gear all came out to make room for work and while i was at it i removed all the A/C gear form the engine bay, after getting through summer with out ever getting the ac working again after the the new engine install i decided that i really didnt need it and it would allow me more room in the front to do some different things there.

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb105/tkwpalm/Turbobuild2014.jpg
So fabrication is about to start on the new turbo setup and once thats done the new heads, manifold and fuel system will be going in to see how much this 402 will make, the turbo build has been about 4 months behind shedule so far and i still dont actually have a nother turbo yet but hopefully over the next few weeks the maloo will be be boosted again and ready top pump out some big numbers.

[toey]

bout time there tim...lol...

do you think you will have it all installed and going by the drag day??

[boyley]

Top thread Tim enjoyed the read:dance:

Did you find a cable driven TB in the end?

[Delft Maloo]

Hopefully done over the next few weeks and no later.
Top thread Tim enjoyed the read:dance:

I did but geez they are expensive, im probably going to get a pfi 95mm tb, they are a nice bit of gear but expensive just like all the others. The nick williams 92mm tb's are about $550 landed and the Holley 90mm is about $600 landed, i can get the pfi (powerflow performance) 95mm for about $620 after trade discount, ill also probably get one of the fuel regs aswell.

[Muncha]

How big are you going with the turbo?

[saj]

Looking good mate, i cant wait to see how this bad boy goes when your finished. :bow:
You could also try a UMI throttle body, there a 4 bolt cable set up like i run on mine. I cant remember how much they cost though. Theres also billetmax, they do one aswell.

[Kyle]

Awesome effort mr timmay!

ETA to skid pics?

[Delft Maloo]

How big are you going with the turbo?
not sure what turbo ill be going yet but it'll flow over 1000hp. Got any good cheap ones?

Where are these tb's from saj? iv looked at a few places but it aint easy finding some of them.
Awesome effort mr timmay!

Depends on securing parts mostly now as i have the money together but hopefully only a few weeks. I might not do the head and manifold swap straight away if i end up buying a bigger more expensive new turbo charger as the head swap is going to cost me over 1k for parts eg, tb, lifters, new pushrods and head gaskets to go with the new heads.
The only good thing about not swapping heads yet is that ill be able to get it running and see what it makes with the ls1 heads then swap them over and see how much gain there will be after upgrading.

[saj]

I got mine from John at Street Quick. Were he gets them from i've got no idea. Mine runs the UMI and the yellow 440 maloo uses the billetmax.

The gt47 dale has for sale in the classifieds would be good but im running out of money fast and i have to make sure i have all my fuel system parts sorted first.

[Muncha]

Yeah it would be good.

Do you need a ball bearing one though?

I bought a plan bearing GT47 a few years ago for $1800 brand new from GCG. Not sure what the prices are like now though.

I bought a plan bearing GT47 a few years ago for $1800 brand new from GCG. Not sure what the prices are like now though.

Im not too fussed about the whole ball bearing vs busch bearing thing, im just after a good priced turbo that will support 900-1000hp.

[Delft Maloo]

Well work on the ute has been slow atm due to work and other commitments but i did start on my turbo kit on the weekend. I started on the cross over pipe which will be coming forwards and across the front of the motor, i got it tacked together but really couldnt do much more till i got my turbo for correct placement.
The whole turbo thing has been a hassel but i finally got one, it turned up today so when i got home i through it in the engine bay to see if it fits with the way i am doing things. I have had to rotate things and shift it around a little but i reckon ill be pretty good with where it is atm, im getting my local metal fab/welding place to laser cut me up a turbo flange and once thats done ill be straight back onto the welder and grinder.
heres a couple of turbo pics.

[Delft Maloo]

Looking good, what is the main reason for doing the pipes that way? Dump pipe clearance?

Mostly for room for the dump pipe and wastegate setup, the turbo wont be as pretty sitting the way it is but unless something major happens i wont be changing it.

[Delft Maloo]

Well im in sydney and i thought it was a good idea to pop into the russo workshop and buy some more gear for the maloo, you cant visit somone and not leave with anything and in exchange for buying justin luch i got a shiney new manifold:lmao: .
Its one of russo's custom made single plenum aluminium sheet metal intake manifold with l98 intake port runners and dash fittings on the rear and fuel rails to boot:faint: . Sounds good hey.

1.Yes, s/h 90mm fast tb off ebay for $300
2.by the dag day hopefully:wave:
3.Prob last as im working on the turbo fabrication atm, fuel system wont be too hard to do.

And yes to much shiney stuff:eek: , and as most off you know im not one for cleaning the ute often:buffer: , too much hard work.

[toey]

well i might have to give ya a hand to shine it up when we get to sydney, cant have that sexy manifold being let down by the rest of the car being dirty

Geez mate did you win lotto or something. I recall seeing one of those at heathcote on one of Russos many weapons

Very nice Tim. Keen to eyeball this at WSID... :D

[Delft Maloo]

Geez mate did you win lotto or something. I recall seeing one of those at heathcote on one of Russos many weapons

Yeah rob that was tommy's car, his ride is my bench mark.
His is a built 383 very simular to my 402 and its currently making about 700rwhp@13psi.
My setup is an iron block + 20cubes and l98 heads, so we are very close on spec and even the exact same turbo.
My goal = 1rwhp more than tommy.

i thought id take some better pics of the sexy new manifold.

if it was legal i would stick the turbo through the bonnet:nutbag: .

A little update, most of the turbo kit is complete atm and iv dropped the ute into my exhaust shop for the dump pipe to be made and the wastgate plumbed up.

Looking good, should have heaps of room for the dump pipe.

Where are you thinking of putting the waste gate? In the space just before the 2 pipes meet?

[Luke@WSP]

Timmy I think you need more Holden heat-wrap...


This thing looks nice mate, can't wait to see it at the drag day :)

Going to get the manis ceramic coated?

Ill use a 4" dump pipe, there is alot of room down there and a 5" pipe would have fitted in there but it would have needed a couple of clearence dents in it so i reckon the 4" will be about the same. Probably above the dump pipe next to the strut tower.
Timmy I think you need more Holden heat-wrap...

I have some left over that will go onto the underside of the bonnet.

Is good yah!

Going to get the manis ceramic coated?
I was looking at it but its a lot of cost just to look at pipes, ill most likely wrap the pipes and get some polished stainless sheilds made up to cover it and keep engine bay temps on the bottom side.
She's a unique looking setup Timmoi ... good to see it all coming together.

I looked at different ways to do it and i easily could have gone the normal way like most setups but hey this is my setup and i wanted it to be different.
The only drama starting to hit me is the all mighty $ or lack of $:sigh:

[Delft Maloo]

well here is some more progress pics, my exhaust guy rob is putting in the hard yards for me to get the ute finished befor he goes away on thursday morning. Hopefully the ute will be coming home tommorow afternoon as there is only a little welding to be done and a final trial fit.
Im certainly running out of time to have it finished for the drag day as i still have a heap to do yet, but no matter what i am striving to be there but i just might not be finished 100%.
Once the ute is home i still have to change the heads and manifold tidy up a few things and most importantly modify the passanger side ignition setup away from the rocker cover.
Oh i still have to do the fuel system and tune the ute yet, this will most likely be my down fall due to time and mostly $. I have to get my injectors atleast but if i can keep my boost down i should be able to get away with the walbro intank pump that i have been using since my last install. In this setup i was able to run around 530rwhp no probs but if i cant keep my boost down low enough ill end up over this figure and most likely run out of fuel which is no good of course.
So i should be running by the drag day but on a lower power level hopefully but no matter what I WILL BE THERE.

Im hopeing for 700-800rwhp not fussed.
The passanger coils are mounted under the inlet manifold atm, once iv driven it abit and tested everything ill move the drivers side under there aswell.
Track time will have to wait till the re-sheduled drag day.

Iv got 2 kids mate so dont have sex any more and dont need this stuff for its intended purposes. That stuff is atleast 5-6yrs old, it works well for putting on the speedflow connectors, damn thats hard work esp the right angled ones, it also helps with getting the intercooler hoses on aswell.
Looking good Tim, how will the leads route on the passenger side? looks a little tight.
The rear lead goes behind the head and the other 3 go forward and under the pwr steer pump then under the manifold from the front.

Damn... You must have developed a tolerance to the heat out Dubbo mate?? :eek: :mad:

The leather can be a little hot on the back of the legs at times, i normally like cruising with the window down mostly but it is annoying driving down the hwy with the windows down but now we have brought another work van the maloo will hardly see the hwy.

[savvy]

There isnt one:yep: , turns out the std ls1 drivers side rocker cover doesnt fit on the l98 heads. The 2 baffle blocks for the breather post dont clear with the offset inlet rockers. All i have todo is open upone rocker cover to fill.

Why not put it in through the dip stick pipe?

[ova400]

Very nice work, I can't wait to see the results.

[Delft Maloo]

Why not put it in through the dip stick pipe?

How big is your dip stick pipe? it would take an hour to fill through mine:faint: , its only a matter of unding 4 bolts and the rocker cover comes off anyway.

[saj]

You need some rocker cover spaces, that should fix your rocker cover problem.

A little update with no real results yet

Problem 1.
First off, once i got to the dyno and started tuning things were going not bad but then some idiot forgot to fill up the fuel tank:bash: , we only had a 20ltr jerry can so i made a few trips to the servo instaed of unstrapping the car.

Problem 2.
Now running out of time due to silly delays i decided to leave the off boost section for some road logging and tuning and try and get some of the boosted area done as it hard and dangerous to do on the road, this is where things got interesting. The maloo was making any boost i asked for but the wastegate was sticking open and dumping all exhaust causing the boost to go right off again, very annoying.
I brought another wastegate and changed it and hey presto i had constant boost levels, but now after all the time taken up there was no time to get the ute back on the dyno as i was heading off to sydney in the morning in it.
On the trip i was doing some logging and making adjustments of the off boost areas. The wideband is nice and fairly steady now and the few little boost areas i saw it was good also.

Problem 3.
So im now in sydney and cruising well, the ute has gone good and the turbo makes a nice whistle when on the gas pedal. Im driving through home bush on my way to the apartment and i decide to give the ute its first real squirt of the lights, takes off good i grab another gear stab the gas, the turbo kicks in and the rear end breaks loose and then i get some squealing sound and a loss of momentum so i get off the gas and just putt through to the apartment, when i pull up there is a rattle coming from underneath the car but i cant see anything. The ute starts up fine in the morning and there is no real rattle there anymore but after driving for a while i decide to give the ute a few little squirts just to here and feel it come on to boost(nothing fast or dangerous) and the car seems to boost slowly with out much of a kick and the rattle comes back, im thinking its the clutch already and after a visit to the russo workshop its confirmed the clutch is slipping coming onto boost and when it gets higher in the revs it starts to let go even worse.
A quick phone call the the clutch mater peter haylock(planb-textralia) is seeing a nice brand new tex tripple plate clutch coming my way for a nice price. The clutch should turn up sometime this week and once in im sending my z-grip back down and pete is going to rebuild it for me to sell or keep as a spare.

Problem 4.
Ok tuesday morning just gone i headed into the city for a trade show at the exibition centre in darling habour and while cruising through the car park the ute cuts out on me:cry: . I noticed the pair of 044 pumps had gotten very loud then all of a sudden they cut out, after resetting the ignition a few times they kicked back into life and i found my way into a car space, The end of the show comes for me and im heading home to dubbo, traffic is shit allready at 3:30pm and im putting down parramatta rd and the fuel pumps go noisey again, i look at the afr gauge and she has gone lean then the pumps cut out and im stopped on parramatta rd in traffic:nilly: :cry: , after a minute or so of trying to get the ute started everything kicks back into life and off i go again. I know i still have fuel but i need to fill up anyway for the trip home so i do so. The ute runs fine down the m4 and up the mountain but once on top it all happens again then again. I get out and pull the fuel pump capshule out of the tank while on the side of the road and it all seems good.
Whats happening is the 044's are drainging the surge tank empty which is making them hot and causing them to cut out. It seems the walbro intank pump is cutting out and not supplying the surge tank, i swap the fuel pump relays around to see if its a crook relay but its not the problem.
The ute fires up again eventually so i decide to keep on heading home as i could end up being a long trip, lucky enough i dont have the problem again so the next 300klms go past as normal. The problem stikes again the next day so im not safe from it.
So it looks like the walbro has packed it in after 2yrs of use for what ever reason.
A new walbro intank pump has been ordered and payed for which should turn up on monday and should see and end to my fueling issues.

The joy of tying to make big power:werd: .

[boyley]

Tim, this is great info mate thanks very much for sharing, all good knowledge for me:aussie:

You're not far off having it sorted by the sounds of things

[Delft Maloo]

Tim, this is great info mate thanks very much for sharing, all good knowledge for me:aussie:

You're not far off having it sorted by the sounds of things

Its driving and its boosted, iv done over 1000klm allready with it but it aint really making the power yet.
Whats next to go after the new clutch and fuel pump go in?

Is your ute man or auto? would you be interested in a rebuilt(by textralia) zgrip clutch kit.

what sort of $ for that.

[boyley]

what sort of $ for that. $2k :sigh:

[Delft Maloo]

Thanks to pete@textralia my new triple plate clutch is here.
Hopefully i should be putting this in sometime this week, getting some bedding in done and then ill put the big girl on the dyno and see if this thing will actually make any power.

[Muncha]

Looks nice, how is it supposed to go compared to the z grip in drivability?

Will the peddle be much heavier? Do these shudder like the z does if you get it wrong?

Maybe i should wait until you have installed it and gone for a drive before i ask. :D

Any luck with the fuel pump?

[35R]

Interested to hear how you go with this clutch Timmy.

[NickS]

Do these shudder like the z does if you get it wrong?

Is "if you get it wrong" another way of saying "all the time" ?

:lol:

Looking good Timmy, hope you get some big numbers. Can't wait to see you try and launch this beast on the drag day ... :drivin:

[Delft Maloo]

have to get back to you carey on the clutch.
This clutch is a new version im testing out for textralia, its still a triple but it is running a new compound which makes it a lot softer on take off's, a few guys with 700+hp cars are testing it atm and they reckon its not much different to the z grip on the road, im hoping to back this up and also test out its drag strip capabilites.

[Muncha]

Is "if you get it wrong" another way of saying "all the time" ?

:lol:


Mine only shudders on 1/5 take offs, but i have heard some are a lot worse and shudder almost 100% of the time. :)

What HP do they rate the clutch at Timmay?

[35R]

Good luck with the clutch Timmio!

I was always "testing out a new version" too - lost count of how many tex's i had - at one stage i had four installed inside four months. The last one was great though.

[choppo]

I was always "testing out a new version" too - lost count of how many tex's i had - at one stage i had four installed inside four months. The last one was great though.

Hahah.... me too LOL. Current one is going OK, but just waiting, waiting..... so many have been pulled out of daily cars that are the same vintage/ construction, so its only a matter of time. :mgun:

[Delft Maloo]

Im not worried as im expecting hardcore and anything less will be a suprise.
The version im testing is supposed to be good for 800-1000hp still and has proven to be so far, the drag strip will tell in a few weeks for me, all though i wont be packing 1000hp.
If things dont go well pete allready has the heavier plates to go in it.

A bit of testing is the least i can do for pete with all the help he has given me over the last few years.

[toey]

hey dude, get the ute sorted yet, was talking to your dad at louth yesterday and he was saying the install didnt go to plan. did you get it sorted in time to drive to the bucks party??

[Delft Maloo]

Well iv got the new tripple plate clutch in and all is well.
Since the clutch is going well i thought it was time to put it back on the dyno and try and get some boost tuning done:yep: and didnt this turn into another fun and shit time at once:happy: , well first off iv been having fun with the commanded rpm based loading on the dd dyno, it makes life alot easier getting the higher cells hit. Once right up the top of the boost range in the rpm's the maloo still likes to turn the tyres and geez it didnt take long to fill the shop with smoke:helmet: . Doing this also found a tiny fracture in my radiator end tank that when the coolant temps hit 100*c it would start spraying out a mist over the engine, this will be an easy fix with my alloy welder but its just another issue.
Next up due to the coolant temps we decided to try and get some power runs done, this uncovered some more issues the first being that after replacing my first wastegate with another one it turns out the gate just isnt big enough and wasnt keeping the boost down.
3rd problem is it seems my intermittent fuel problem wasnt resolved by replacing the intank pump, so it looks like i tossed a perfectly good walbro in the bin. Im left thinking its an holden issue stuffing me up, when the first utes were released tey had drama's with noise of the fuel pump and their fix was to put in a voltage regulator that reduced power at lower rpm's to keep the pump quieter while idleing, im left thinking this must be the issue that im having and that the voltage regulator is playing up intermittantly.
The plan is to wire the intank pump off the 2x044's so that way all 3 share the same feed and if 1 stops they all stop and ill also wire in a voltage gauge back to the cabin to monitor the performance.

So it wasnt the best day on the dyno but i have got upto 614rwhp so far, so im hoping once i get the fueling dialled in and start adding some timing the numbers should lift.
Iv also ordered a pair of 38mm wastegates to replace the 45mm that i have atm, each 38mm gate will take car of its own exhaust bank where as the 45mm was trying to do both on its own.
I have 1 week to get all these issues sorted out but i wont get the wastegates till wednesday probly.

Oh and when the maloo goes back onto the dyno ill be putting on some different wheels as i dont like smoking the 20"s with out need:yep: , the rollers sure like to make a mess of your tyres and the room:yep: .

[Muncha]

Good stuff Tim, sounds like its really starting to come together. How much boost are you running?

How does it compare to you old set up on the road? Is it still as drivable with the new motor, turbo and clutch?

Cant wait to see it next weekend, sounds like a real animal. Congrats.

Good stuff Timmy. That sort of power should be good for 130 to 135mph

[Delft Maloo]

It allright on the road, the clutch is still a little direct but once you got used to it anyone could drive it with no drama's, the power is only there once you put the foot flat and let the rpm's come up.
Compared to the old setup im still abit insure, the 402 is definatly better off the boost and it is a bigger hit when boost comes on but i think im losing abit compared to the old setup due to better rear tyres, the toyo proxy4's have a heap more grip than the old nangkangs did. I reckon the old nangkangs gave me an extra 100hp:laugh: .
Boost wise once the new wastegates are fitted im hoping i can run less than 10psi stock and then step it up on the eboost from there upto 16-18psi.

[Delft Maloo]

Good stuff Timmy. That sort of power should be good for 130 to 135mph

im hoping to add another 50-100rwhp next week and if i do ill be looking for 135mph+:drivin: .

Giddyup :)

[Delft Maloo]

Well its been a long time since i last updated and a fair bit has gone on since and mostly not for the better:swear: .
Part 1, pick up where i left left off. Well the drag day came and went and it was mostly uneventfull for me, but the good thing was i drove down and drove home under my own power.
Not overly excited to blow something up i took my time heading out to the starting line, when i did do my first pass everthing seemed good so i grabbed my time slip and headed back to the pits to do a check over of things, lucky enough i did as i had oil coming out of the front of the motor, it seems my ballancer had come forward on the crank and pulled past the seal letting oil escape from the timing cover, lucky though it had only come leaked in the pits and not on the track. After waitning an hour or so for things to cool down i mannaged to pull the ballancer back in place and was able to have some more runs. Traction was the major problem with shitty old circuit tyres not providing and real help plus my diff is stuffed so that saw me spinning 1 tyre and axle tramping the other halfway down the track all day, i managed a pair of new pb's and lowered my 1/4 time down to 11.7 from 11.9 but the big improvment came in my mph speed, it jumped from a previous 123-124 upto a nice 133.8mph so there is definatly some power there. Given the utes weight and mph it should have i was making approx 580rwhp for my 1850kg race weight and 133.8mph trap and when i got back home and threw it on the dyno sure enough it ran up 585rwhp.
Things still werent right as for the combo i was expecting more mph and power out of it but nothing i try'd really made a difference and i couldnt get anymore boost in it:swear: .

Part 2, 3months later.
Well not much had changed over the last 3 months and i still hadnt sorted out the probs i was having but the ute was running ok so i really couldnt have been bothered stuffing with it either.
The end of november was coming around and i was heading down to melbourne for a few weeks work so i decided to take the maloo down and cruise around in it instead of the shitty work vans down there, well that didnt turn out good as a nice hot drive over 800+klms in 40* weather was uneventfull but as soon as i stopped in melbourne my ute boiled and ran out of fuel again, after limping my ute around the corner to work i popped the bonnet to see coolant escaping, the radiator pipe coming from the motor was boiling hot but the coolant pipe feeding the motor was cold so an easy fix as the thermastat mustnt have been opening and letting the coolant flow through. I brought a new thermastat in the morning and fitted her up, once done i fired her up and all seemed good , it didnt do anything funny and wasnt leaking so i shut it down and went on to my job for the day.

After returning back to work that night i fired her up again and set off for my work mates house who i was staying with, well in 15* raining weather the ute boiled again and ran out of fuel in less than 5klms:swear: . After gettiing some beeping on the dash i plugged my laptop and checked for any dtc's and sure enough it had thown an engine over temp code which reults in the pcm shutting down the fuel system for protection, so this has been my problem all along with the ute running out of fuel, whats funny is the dash gauge doesnt allways show the hot temp condition.
I managed to get the ute back to my mates place but i couldnt do anything about it as i was flying to sydney at 6am in the morning and wouldnt be back till monday arvo. So once i got back i made a few calls to see if i could get my ute into one of the better known workshops and sorted befor i had to go home in 2 weeks time, after a couple of phone calls i had arranged with HPF to sort my issue out for me, so that after noon they had a flat bed town truck at my mates house and pick up my ute and have it on its way to their shop on the other side of melbourne. I headed over there first thing in the morning to see the guys and fill them in on all the dramas plus i had to drop a set of heads off to nathan higgins aswell which was only around the corner aswell. Matt from hpf must hate me as i rang then atleast every 2 days to check on progress, obviously i had an issue with the coolant side of things but i was worried about any more major damage that may have been done.

The radiator had been pulled out and a nice large split was found, that was repaired and once pressure tested they found some of the cores had come apart and after repairing them some more had done the same, the call was made to get a new core from pwr for the radiator, well it took 5 days for the stupid thing to turn up befor they could even start on rebuilding:swear: . Now over all this time the days have been ticking away and i had to be home this week, i was planning on going home on the 8th dec but if need be i could have held out till the 10th but my sons birthday was the 11th so i was going home no matter what.
So after searching ebay for a few weeks looking for a bargin i stumbled across a to good to pass up roadbike, i brought it on the monday afternoon and rode it home on tuesday, i tell you what i hadnt ridden my old roadbike (just sold befor going to melbourne) for 2yrs and i got on the new one and rode it 800+klms home straight up, oh boy wasnt the last 100klms hard my arse was killing me:moon: and for the next day or two my right arm was in a fixed state from the constant throttle hold.
So im back at home and not to fussed with the ute anymore but i was still hoping to fly back down and pick her up before xmas but after another phone call i had nothing but bad news, the motor wouldnt hold water or pressure, they told me its done a head gasket, so since the heads are coming off iv sorted with the guys to throw a set of higgings cnc l98 heads back on it during the fix.
I could have arranged to have the ute sent home and fixed it here myself and saved a few $ but im seriously over the stupid thing and i dont want to look at it atm plus when i eventually go to pick it up ill know its done and should be right.
So when it comes home im hoping ill have a fair bit more power, not just from the cnc heads but i believe my lack of power the whole time has been related to the topend anyway, i have numerous reasons behind this thinking as when i changed the heads and manifold i also put in some longer push rods aswell but i got set to far oversized and when i fired her up she was coughing and farting spitting fuel straight out the valves as they weren't closing, once changed back to a new set of std l98 pushrods she seemed to seal up alright(never bothered with a compression test to confirm though) i could have bent a valve or damaged the seat? and the 2nd possible issue could have been when i first threw it on the dyno and found the wastegate flow wasnt sufficient it had over boosted climbed to just in-excess of 20psi or so which i also believe could have lifted the heads a fraction and stretched the head studs a possibly and this may have been the reason i have not been able to get any more than 12psi into the engine no matter what i have tried.
The last few things are just speculation so i hope what ever my issues have been that they will be sorted out.

[toey]

aahhhh the joys of cars....lol

you didnt tell me you got a new bike, what you pick up??

[Delft Maloo]

Picked up a kawasaki zx7r 750cc road bike, bargin buy at $3500.

[35R]

Jesus H Timmoi!

- the joys of big power/cube v8's :)

[Muncha]

Wow Tim, quite a trip it must have been.

Im sure it will all come together great and you can get some 140+ runs out of it at a future drag day. :D

Best of luck with it. :)

[Delft Maloo]

750rwhp and 140+mph is what im aiming for, next drag day im going to have to organise some slicks and front runners as i want an easy 10.

[DaveHAT]

Quite a read Tim ... proof enough that when squeezing large oomphs of power from an engine it often builds an unfortunate element of unreliability into things. :(

Sorry to hear of all the PITA hassles ... not the sort of tripe you want, esp when 1000km from home.

[toey]

too right.....$3500 for a ninja = nice :bravo:

i honestly think a lot of my drama's have been created by my own hands more than anything else, i beleive i could have done certain things in a better or different way that might not have caused the issues. I dont think the power im chasing is really that unreliable or extreme probably quite safe for 90% of the capabilities of it if done right, patience and frustration is something i was probably lacking at the time during some of the stuff i had done, hindsight is a wonderful thing isnt it?

[35R]

750rwhp trouble free & reliable for any significant timeframe (used to it's capacity) sounds like a big ask to me.

[Delft Maloo]

750rwhp trouble free & reliable for any significant timeframe (used to it's capacity) sounds like a big ask to me.

Your comment in the brackets is the key here dunc, there is no way you can drive with 750rwhp all the time as you would kill yourself, obviously id drive it generally with less boost and thus less power but as you know the joys of turbo systems is that if you drive the car normally they behave like any other car and this stands true no matter what type of car or motor it is. A 600hp NA motor is a hell of alot more stressed and harder to deal with than a 600hp FI motor.

[35R]

that's true Timmy. 600hp n/a is one thing i guess, but 750rwhp would equate to what, a 800 to 850hp at the motor? I've just seen some such setups over the past few years and they all had some serious compromises at that level (which is "fine" because they arent usually intended for daily duties, far from it).

Mine will only see that sort of power on the dyno and on the strip, everyday use will probably be around 500rwhp or what ever it makes with 8-10psi base, plus it not my everyday car anymore so i reckon it will be lucky to do 10k a year now.

[Delft Maloo]

well its a tad overdue for an update but heres a quicky.
well i finally got the motor fully rebuilt and ready to go after being off the road for over 1.5yrs and then i decided to sell it as i couldnt really be bothered anymore:lmao:.
So the motor has gone to a new home along with all the turbo gear and i was left with no engine bar the old original 5.7 that is is bits. Next decision was to buy a wrecked vx clubsport the exact same as my maloo and transplant the gear out of that into my ute and sell off the rest to recoup some of the cost.
Iv managed to pick up a set of used extractors and some new bits for the engine consisting of a cam, shaved heads, timing chain, udp, springs, lifters and pushrods, this should take care of me for awhile and what happens with the maloo later on ill see but first i might actually have to put it back together seeing as it has no motor, gearbox, diff, brakes or fuel system in it atm.
