Fantastic news Rod

Did you ask him why the IAT's were so high last time on the dyno?

Nah, he was pretty busy. I will ask him next time I see him Ed.

How's the car been going lately Rod?

How's the car been going lately Rod?

IAT's sorted Ed, max I see now is about 13 above ambient, and today on Freeway to Murray Bridge max of 9 above. All is not perfect though, every now and then when stuck in traffic the car will stall when braking. It is random and we are unsure what is causing it. Will be perfect one minute then out of the blue will idle down and not recover.

The intermittent stalling is strange.

Is it easy to start again after it stalls?

I smell some type of vac leak, though can be proven wrong!

That was my first thought Mick. Finding it will not be easy though.

Is it easy to start again after it stalls?

Yes, it fires straight back up and runs like nothing happened.

Have you put a scanner on it & checked to see if there are any codes?

No codes that either of my cheaper scanners can detect Ed. Might run it down to a mechanic I know on the weekend, his workshop scanner picks up codes that mine miss.

Update. I have replaced relay with brand new item, checked all hoses for Kinks (Thanks Ed). Still exactly the same. If I take both hoses off front of blower and force air through the bottom hose I get a trickle through the top out of the blower. Other than that nothing that give me any confidence that the pump is actually pumping. It make no noise whatsoever
I know the pump is up to it as Ed is running the same one. Bit over this to be honest, these modded cars are great until they start not being great any more. On top of this the passenger side speakers decided to stop working, so something else to waste my time on. Not sure why two doors on one side would stop and everything else keeps working. Below is the wiring I am dealing with, not sure where to start with that, considering I have little to no experience with electrics.

Car hasn't stalled once since I replaced my aftermarket plug leads with factory leads. I find it hard to believe this would have been the cause, but will monitor and see. Found an easy fix for the speakers. Upgrade lol. Got the doors done with dynamat, the centre speaker disconnected and the below splits and 2 ways installed. Now need to look at dynmat on the rear parcel shelf and maybe some upgraded 8 inch free air subs (although have read that you need to upgrade the amp as well if doing this).

I find the oem leads are good for at least 150K & are very reliable. With headers heat sleeves are a good investment too.

Yes, have had heat sleeves for a while, good cheap protection for the leads.

I'm up to 220,000 + kms on original OEM leads (still on the original spark plugs too... pulled them out look fine put them back in) on my VZ L76 6.0L, with DiFilippo headers. It still amazes me, they haven't missed a beat.

Idles perfect / pulls smooth and clean.

I haven't used after market heat sleeves in my case as no need, just the OEM heat shields on the OEM leads.

I'II be 100% buying OEM ignition leads when they finally need replacing.

Was going great guns, then today pulled into Anytime Fitness in Elizabeth and bang, it stalls at first speed hump. Totally out of the blue, running like a dream one minute, dies in the arse just like that. Started straight up and on my way again. So leads were not the issue, which I thought sounded unlikely anyway. For shits and giggles I am going to replace the plugs, mainly because I have a brand new set of TR6 sitting on the shelf. What gaps are people running? Particularly on blown cars. I have always run 1.5, which is what I was advised was the magic number from day dot with this car.

[whitels1ss]

I run TR6 with 1.5 gap also.
