Could it be that you jacked it then adjusted the suspension and the shocks didn't settle back to normal after jacking.  I find mine sits slightly higher after I've jacked it up until it's been for a little run.

[chris_uk]

it could of been, ive done that before and gone round in circles after not taking it for a drive. lol

Water injection fitting today. Back with some pics tonight.

[smiley]

Did you ever monitor inlet temp on track before the WI?

 

[chris_uk]

It was about 30 odd on my power runs but on the logger i think it was about 60's peak.

[smiley]

That's pretty impressive.

I peak on track with 75 on a 3" M62, and 95 on a 3.1" harrop. (hot days)

 

[chris_uk]

I think my scoop has quite a lot to do with the cooler temps because i have got all that air flowing directly onto the top of the charger. Coupled with the water injection i bet i dont even see 30's peak

[chris_uk]

Well what started out as a lets whip the charger and manifold off and prep for WI turned into a massive list.

Alt pulley to change to larger 6rib
Crank pulley to change to 6 rib
Crank seal to change
Install new cam cover gasket
Timing chain to change (for gm)
Engine mounts to change
Fit WI
Fix hardtop from leaking
Re-riv nut chassis for the clam bolts
Fix seized calipers
Clean up manifold and laminovas
Install new laminova orings
Replace glass with carbon foam board.

It started out really hot so we thought we would do it on the drive.


Soon ended up not sunny


We threw it in the garage when the rain stopped.

new crank pulley


Cam cover off ready for chain


Threw everything in the parts washer


Thats all the pics i took yesterday.

How grubby were the laminovers and how long since the last clean? Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk

Which manifold have you got on? Are those pipes equal lenghts?

They actually were not that bad, they have been on about 10k since last clean.

[chris_uk]

parts out the washer 

 

 

everything gunk free

 

 

so much easier torquing the bolts up with this 

 

 

installed the new 6 rib pulley for the alternator and had to re-align the smooth pulley. 

 

 

popped the new gauge in.. 

 

 

looks better being silver

 

[chris_uk]

6 rib crank pulley which i have had for bloody ages and never got round to fitting it until now. 

 

 

 

the next thing i have to do is work out where i am going to mount my tank, and i think i have the perfect place.. i just need to find one which fits.
