    Easiest and my favorite way of removing the top bolts on the bell housing is to pull the inlet manifold. 10 minute job and saves a lot of grief you can see the bolts. Just need the tool to remove the fuel line clip, few bucks at supercheap.

    Noisy L77

    Only a guess but it may even be a broken timing chain tensioner/guide, sounds like its rubbing on the chain when it gets some whip after being revved, they are prone to fail on the gen 4 engines and an LS2 style dog bone is the best fix. You will be in there anyway if you DOD delete.

    07GTS Build Thread

    I'm running the FPM 1500hp pumps so fpcm is bypassed and max pressure all the time, try not to run low fuel to avoid the heat. Have HP 2bar OS and use E85 50% of the time, have a target lambda of .78 at wot. Haven't had any fuelling issues at all to be honest except for a longer cranking time...

    07GTS Build Thread

    I'm running Deatschwerks 88lb/hr which is just over 900cc and see duty cycles of around 85% at 6800rpm on E85, thinking some 1200's might go on the shopping list. Ignore the KR it randomly shows up like that especially when dealing with axle tramp.

    07GTS Build Thread

    On a hot start I think I have way too much fuel pressure in the rail and have injectors struggling to open, you know KPM fuel pumps set up

    Injectors not closing because of demanded fuel 293% duty cycle. Fuel pressure dropping because injectors wide open?

    LSA heater hoses in Ls3

    Yeah that's what comes with a Harrop kit but could be better, I routed mine behind the ABS bracket and put some sleeve around it, the yanks have a nice looking option too. Not sure how it transfers over to right hand drive though...

    VF calais seat cover / base fix

    Did my own fix using a pack of foldback clips from office works, think I used 3 per seat, just clip them on once the base trim is in place straight over the top of the plastic locator strip then remove the handles. Havent got pics and hard to see once the seat is refitted (removed seats from car...

    L77

    The 1 7/8 headers is what caught my attention, the net says boost only sized pipes, I run them and actually mine is all XF!

    L77

    Should be a minimum 30kw+ at the wheels gain, but I will say you have probably gone and upset half of the members of this forum with your choice in exhaust size.
