What is up with your trans Ed, norhing too serious I hope?

[BLACK 346]

Mine is about 250kg's lighter than yours.

Yes, good point.

Have you got a truetrac in your car?

Mine is around 14 @ 50kmh ave (cammed ute was 15 @ same speed with well over 100rwkw less). At cruise on highway my IATs are around 18 - 20C above ambient thanks to thermal blanket. Not bad for an "old" HTV not renowned for efficient cooling.

It's been built with lots of good bits but had problems with stupid simple crap things.

It's now got a slight leak, I think there is a problem with my housing & my trans guy is going to swap everything into another housing in the next week or so.

Have you got insulator spacers as well Gary?

Not in the VE Ed, had one in the VT2 SS and loved it, but never felt the need for one with the VE. Just have a 3:45 LSD out of an SS.

Not the expensive fiinterchiller ones though I did have some sort of spacers from Harrop IIRC at about $100 the pr plus fitting. Don't know if they're still on it or if they made way for the thermal blanket. Must remember to ask one day.......

Harrop don't normally supply them with the kit, they cost around an extra $450+ & lift up the blower about 10mm
you can see them between the heads & the blower manifold, they are normally a charcoal / black colour.

(They also have some other interesting gear at that shop if you look around the web page.)

The thermal blanket costs around $100.

lift up the blower about 100mm

[whitels1ss]

Sorry, my typo... 10mm

(Edited/fixed now)

If you're thinking of buying spacers, 100% get the FII ones, not cheap copies from another "big name". FII use a high strength plastic imported from Germany, the copies are made in China from a much cheaper material. This is the result of fitting the copies...

Yes I heard that too, best keep away from the cheap china copies.

I guess APS must have bought a bulk lot from Harrop as they supplied and fitted them. The thermal blanket I bought when I got the 12L reservoir and as you say Ed, was about $100.

According to the EDS my IAT's today fluctuated between 70 and 80, that was on a 27 degree day with just normal driving in heavy traffic. Might have to look at one of these thermal blankets if the extra methanol jets dont help. How much labour is involved in fitting them?
