Excellent looking fabrication. Glad you stuck with your project this long. I know alot of us might have given up on it after this much time.

But I gotta ask. That green hose your using looks ALOT like a garden hose thats been cut up. If so I hope that was for a mock up purpose and not long term use.

Anyhow looking good, cant wait to see the final setup.

The hose is exactly gardening hose but it's only for measuring and plannig purposes

Here is complete hoses

And

But i got to say that I will never use steel coated hoses again...

Progress has slow down again. I have to finish our house at this summer so oval has to wait little more.

I got it on dyno but something odd happened right after this video...

Sweet Video.

What was the problem with the braided hose

Well if they are not right on spot in every angle and lenght they will not twist so well. I made one little error on my measuring and hose between throttle bodies is bit long and it causes some problems...

Well got time to take my engine under inspection and found somthing I dont like...

As you can see in picture there is some piece missing from one injector. Any ideas how that happened AND opinions about taking heads off for inspection or just trust its passed the system and test with other set of injectors?

Nice vids! Now go out and get some sticky tires. Looks like you had some serious tire spin.

SuperTrigger · Post by **SuperTrigger** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 5:08 am

Yeah it spun badly and because these were my first runs i wasn't so familiar with the clutch.

I have slicks already and I planned to drive next runs on them but just as I got them changed it started to rain.

Too bad this was last meeting in Finland for this summer.

Well next test event is only 7 month from now
