Have had a productive time, tidied up, painted and hung the exhaust. Fitted vl commodore engine mount rubbers(!) which are much stiffer and stronger than the M20 ones and have movement limiters. Modified and fitted tailshaft. Fitted up heavy-duty VL turbo radiator and modified some hoses to fit.
Picked up a new, unused still in the box Link Plus G3 engine management system, which can have the firmware upgraded to the latest full G4 xtreme specs. This has saved me around $600-$700 over a g4 xtreme I was planning on even after paying for the upgrade, so it was a good find! This means I can use the vvti basemap that is available for the G4. I've been in touch with the dyno shop in NZ that actually developed the basemap (and did a lot of development work on the G3-G4 for Link) and he said the basemap is very well tuned. Apparently the engine that the map was developed for had a good exhaust and free flowing intake, so it should only need a bit of a touch up here and there to make it perfect for my car!
I'll post some pics when I get a chance.
Also, I'm chasing 2xvvti cam sensors, the ones halfway along the heads. Please PM me if you can help!!!
