You dumped the refrigerant???
(I'm on another shopping spree. Just picked up new GM rear wheel bearings at stupid money - Got a brand new VZ brake master cylinder for about half what that Brett wanted for a used one!!!)

Out of interest where did you pick up your cheap bits and pieces from?

i got a little more work done, removed all the accessories, crank pulley and took the timing cover off to offer up the timing chain guide
a very poor dark photo
but it looks like my Katech/GM timing chain guide does not fit. I am making the assumption that i have a later ls1 block as the hole centres for the block match up to an ls2 timing chain guide. I know Kmud fitted an adapter to his LS1 to fit an ls2 timing guide, so the blocks seem to differ between the same year of manufacture
This is my timing chain guide that i purchased from Katech
My plan is to try and get some more work done on Friday, and im also debating if i should paint the block. Im thinking either red or chevy orange like the LSX block

Nice work. Bugger about that Katech timing chain tensioner. Not cheap either. Mind you, what yank stuff is?
My chinese 92mm $100 TB turned up. Not bad for the money. Machining of the billet not as good as it could be but internally it looks good.
i think my throttle body is a cheap chinese throttle body. It doesnt feel very smooth so i might see if i can strip and improve itMy chinese 92mm $100 TB turned up. Not bad for the money. Machining of the billet not as good as it could be but internally it looks good.
But with regards to the timing guide, its a bit of a pain but the bonus is that an ls2 guide is a alot cheaper
My aim is around 725-750hp with meth which should be the blower maxed out but im aiming for revs and want to rev to 7100-7200 for high speed runs. So forged rods for piece of mind.
Knowing me I will probably change my mind half way through
I would like to experiment with E85 and maybe the effects of adding nitrous to forced induction at a much later date

My V2 ran out at 680 ish , check bearing sizes in the blower gearbox as well to see what you can spin it to there are 2 different sizes Knowing me I will probably change my mind half way through

There´s a car i know how are you ?
seems like someone is going to boost a lot this summer i also saw the site about going to Västerås later this year
i stumbled across a couple of used AP racing disc for the gto in England that i ordered and will try to mend with a brembo 4 piston caliper
what charger are you going to use ? the same as Gareth ?

The supercharger is a centrifugal Vortech V2 supercharger, it wont be any where near as fast as Gareths but hopefully i can keep up this year
