Supercharger for VFSS

Hi Ed

Not much to report - Terry ordered the diff centre - Strange HD Pro.

Pretty much finished the front end - engine/gearbox.

Working on the inside guards - pushing them in a centremetre to fit the 275 racing tyres in.

I said to him a week ago that I wasn't in a hurry now. So I'm thinking we will be ready to race by Feb

Thanks for the reply Dan, bet you can't wait to have it running.

No worries Ed

That's for sure - I'm sure it will be worth the wait though.

UPDATE:

Now that Christmas/New Year is behind us, Terry will get back on to my car next week.

Hoping to have the engine running shortly.

Thanks for the update Dan

Looking forward to seeing more. :cheers:

No worries Ed - I'll share some more pics as soon as the engine is running

Good morning and happy Monday!!

I haven't updated for a while, simply because there has not been much to report.

The cooling system is finished. Fuel tank being designed and fabricated. Rear guards still to be modified.

Challange at the moment is with the ECU and the powerglide - I want to race in the new True Street class and so the ABS has to be functional (no transbrake allowed either). The ECU is having trouble given the car was an auto. However, Terry knows a guy who has recalibrated a VF auto ECU for a powerglide so we should be good next week.

Why can't it be tuned setting the ECU as the car has a 6 speed manual?

I have been looking at fitting a T400 to my older 4 spd auto LS1 blown car
& my tuner told me the T/C & the ABS would work fine.

Ed the VT/VX use primitive controllers in those models, so no problem for you. Dan can do what's required though a bit trickier on the E38 controlled models.

Dan any further pics of the vehicle, interested in your fuel tank & location please?

I know it is a different system
but I am sure that one of the brilliant tuners out there would be able to work it out
& it would have been shared around.

There are quite a few very quick VE's getting around with TH400 & powerglide transmissions in them.

Yes there are, very easy to upset the canbus on an e38 system, they chuck a wobbly & refuse to play, especially so if the BCM is still in the equation, very simple if running an e38 no vats, though the op needs all operational.

I'm not sure of the specifics

No other pics at this stage - the fuel tank is being worked on at the moment. Once the ECU is sorted, it will be ready to start the engince - I'll get plenty of pics then

Terry has a guy who can re-calibrate the ECU - it is with him at the moment. Should be back in the workshop next week.
