RAWDEAL

I bought a 289/302 Pro billet for my later model 5.0 thats in my xb... Not sure what dizzy gear to use as msd have a part for the 5.0 gear , also a part for the standard 302? I think then 5.0 gear might be different internal diameter? Also.. broze or steel?

I do have a few spare sumps. I mighy have a go at making one myself

I wouldnt run one i never did on any of my engines MAYBE id run one if i had a standard setup with crossovers But ive always ran an aftermarket manifold with the crossover plugged

Ive installed my catchcan Pics in my buildthread It came up awesome

I want to put a catch can on my 351 as it will be boosted later on and i dont really want to run a pcv into the intake anyways, i dont like the idea of oil being in the intake lol Who here runs a catchcan on a v8? do i run 2 lines one from each rocker cover into the top of the catch can? do i need to run a breather? does it have to be plumbed back into the sump? I am not 100% sure whether i really need a catch can at all?

I honestly should have gone bronze Its the cheapest gear that msd make (they must make big volume lol) And its the softest material My engine builder said they are good in street applications also

Im using the stock roller cam , the msd had a tag on it to say to use their steel gear for a roller cam their website is horseshit it has no info lol. my engine builder said the iron gear which came with the dizzy would have been fine anyways , so at least i can install the dizzy

Ive ordered a steel gear , it should suit my roller cam (stock 5.0) Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

What is the cast iron gear for ? (that is what came with the dizzy, the one i currently have) i thought it went GEAR------------------ CAM Iron = Iron Flat Tappet Steel = Steel Billet Cam Bronze = ??? Both?? Composite = All cams ??

What pump are you running? Ive got The bottom one Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Where do you buy the LDAS ? Ive found a few places that vary fuckim heaps in price lol. Ill prolly ebay it Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I was eyeing off a kit that has that catch can included but it will not work with where im gonna put the power steering and turbo and for 250$ i could make one that fits better for what im doing , i have it on the passenger side now next to the radiator

What motor / turbo are you running ect ? Im still waiting on fittings / hose.. supposed to of been delivered 3 days ago

Have you been running dex3 in it the whole time now? I have 245 45 r17s on the front and they are grippy . the pump is pretty noisy all the time im not sure if the genuine oil will make it quieter, but im gonna try that . It doesnt like me dry steering or reefing on the steering wheel while on sealed roads eg doing loops in a closed off road where the appropriate permits have been acquired it labors the pump

Im going to change my oil from dex3 to the standard GM oil , when i relocate the pump ill have a direct comparison then. i never ended up using the GM oil because it took ages to arrive in the mail and i needed to get it running so i used dex3

I have converted my XB to run a later 5.0 windsor style power steering pump over the last ~500ks it has developed a bad whine.. (which is how long i have been running it with the new pump_ before i go putting another pump in, to hopefully fix the problem, i thought i might ask if they are compatible? I dont really want to put another pump in and ruin that one as well lol The pump worked fine before i put it in this car

Alright, so update These arrived today https://www.aeroflowperformance.com/engine/engine-accessories/valve-covers/fabricated-aluminium/af77-5002blk fuck they are grouse quality! The rib around the base that the gasket seats on is at least 6mm thick! I have been impressed with every Aeroflow product i have bought so far it has 1 female thread on each rocker cover at the front tommorrow ill order some 1/2" ( dash8 ) hoses and fittings .. its cheaper for me to run it from each rocker cover to the can, because the 2 peices they have plus 2 extra fittings to go on the T ends up way more expensive the catch can i have is approx 1 litre, prob 1.5 i have not measured it it has a drain on the bottom and a breather on the top.. 2 female fittings on the front of it i MAY run a PCV from the top of the can instead of the breather, and plumb that back into the base of the carb

my car has original bushes in it , they are all hardened to shit and worn out now.. and i havnt done many kms in the car either since the electric pump conversion. but it pretty much drives the same.. it doesnt like full lock to lock fishys in the gravel though.. although it still works fine. i need to rebush the whole car basically but as far as i know doing maybe 2000ks with dex3 in it diddnt hurt it. it doesnt leak ect

Champion! i was quoted 12+ a bend from a few local steel suppliers lol i can finally get a quote and order what i need.. i an gonna start with factory headers that are flipped and it should not take long

I am trying to source materials to build my turbo manifolds .. i need some steampipe i want to use stainless i am just not sure where to get it from ill be needing bends and straight lengths in 2.5" Does anyone know anywhere in Geelong or melb or online?

Jesus christ. Where is Edcon lol? i Will hpc coat the mild steel and have money left over ..

Isnt SPOOLs Actual name 'SPOOL Imports'? Kinda says it all lol Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

You must have a long memory or i just havnt had any luck getting quotes lol been quoted 10 or 12 dollars per bend! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

i fucking hate tig welding mild pipe as it oil and shit in it lol and stainless looks 10x better than ceramic coating, which would double the cost because the stainless is pretty much on par with the mild steel as far as pricing goes im going to mount a flex in the middle near the front of the pipe/sump/on the long side of the piping.. and the turbo will be mounted directly to the engine so not much weight will be on it Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Surely the 304 sc40 would last ages ?.. and i can easily repair cracks myself anyways I am unsure where to find 321 grade though
