No idea mate, haven’t driven her just yet since the build, but dan said he’s got to adjust the exhaust and hang it properly yet. This is the Whifbitz 4” single box so would like to see how others have them really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Ahhh okay. Mines a 4.5" and looks identical in placement. Just be mindful I guess. I fitted air cups for ramps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s from the thin running in mineral oil mate. Also the titanium springs and retainers and 264 cams possibly making slightly more noisy than stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-love Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Finally got round to giving her a well needed wash today! Fitted some of the pod kit too! Looks so much better already, now to remove the stickers etc and fit some more parts I’ve got waiting around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-love Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) Sorry haven’t posted in a bit, had a tappy noise that needed looking into. Map sensor also failed on me runnin in which chucked fuel into her and messed the map up. So bought some nice bc cam gears + arp bolts, a new Syvecs 4bar map sensor will be dialled in on the dyno. Also got some good compression results. (In Bar) Oil and wear materials have been checked and are minimal, normal for break in. Sieved the oil and checked the oil filter element etc. Tappy noise was caused by slightly loose cam gear bolt (minor) but we checked everything over anyway.

Supra-love Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) Purring like a kitten now, with the new cam gears and arpbolts dc also adjusted the cam timing which improved the idle and give a better top end!

Supra-love Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) So it’s my lucky day today, the engine is now running sweet as a nut all thanks to dc. I also thought I had a noisy rattle in the clutch area too, so got them to check that, they found the driveshaft to be loose causing the rattle against the exhaust area, and the steering rack was also loose, with the pas pipes kinked. They said when checking it all two bolts fell straight out the driveshaft mating point. Thank god they found these issues before something bad happened driving it.

Everything going well now, all to do is dial in the sensor on the dyno and run her in fully, finally 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m12aak Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Looking good! Why was the RHS vent replaced for the display? Most I've seen replace the clock instead. Just curious, that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate, the vent is blocked, this is something srd did way back, i have thought about moving it with a bracket somewhere else. it’s been there since 2011.
