5e colin Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 i think that engine is going to have shit idle :) she deserves a high limiter indeed :) Quote
adzy Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 nice! who cares about the idle, it just lets you know theres a beast in there! Quote
Chris Green Posted April 23, 2015 Author Posted April 23, 2015 Cheers fellas, idle should be fine Colin, some proper standalone management will sort it out. Quote
FMuscle Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 If I may provide a bit of advice with these, I have the same kit, minus power steering, and I strongly suggest lock-tite on the water pump. Mine came loose just this month, even if it was properly tightened in the first place. I also had to keep the stock alternator pulley because the alternator-side face of the aluminum one is flat, while the stock one is a bit concave. It was touching the housing.Oh and check your water pump, there are two models here in Aus, a bolt-on pulley (the one you want), and a pressed-on pulley (the one I've got on both my EP and my 5E)...

Chris Green Posted April 26, 2015 Author Posted April 26, 2015 Cheers for the advice dude, got lock-tite at the ready! Before I ordered all my OEM replacement gear, I had this kit in mind so I ordered the bolt on pump as my standard one came with a pulley. ***Progress Report*** Block, Sump, Arms & various ancillaries back from shot blasting. - Check The above going to powdercoating at some point this week and due to back with before the weekend. - Check All front suspension parts & braking parts ready to be assembled.
