Nice work!
Why the auto conversion? To aim for more power? Cheers ToranaGuy

no not so much more power.
im at the limit of the clutch thats in it now, if i upgrade the clutch again to something better it will destroy the box for sure.. i think the costs of a decent box like a tko or t56 and another clutch would be more than a decent auto and stally.. plus i think a faster 1/4 is to be had with an auto.. |

Good idea troy. You'll get better times plus it'll be more reliable than the t5. Plus its a lot cheaper than the tko500. I checked the price on one from mal Wood recently and they told me around $3000+ with the bellhousing. What auto you going for? C4 with stall? Not the btr...?

probably a beefed up btr, i want something with an overdrive as i do freeway driving aswell as city driving...
im only considering it at the moment. when the car was n/a i hated the auto, i dont want to change it to auto to realise i should have left it manual,,,lol |

I have a stand alone 5.0 TCM here if you choose to go auto.
We can pull that out and chop the wiring as required.

Could a hotted up BTR be setup to be full manual shift? Might be a compromise? Cheers ToranaGuy

Theres a few people currently working on stand alone trans controllers. full manual control. that would be the easiest way to go

finally got around to starting on the coil pack conversion, again..lol
this time im using a ef coil pack this way i can use el leads and at the moment i have made up a mounting plate to mount the coil on the inner guard.. although im not 100% happy with where it is but ill see if i can mount it elsewhere,, any ideas??

Making some mount plates up to mount at the rear of the rocker cover, will show you Friday night.
Can I borrow that EF rocker cover for a week or 2? |

Possibly get a couple of angle brackets welded to a spare rocker cover and mount them just about the VCT solenoid?

Can I borrow that EF rocker cover for a week or 2? yea i can bring the ef rocker cover on friday.. i dont really think there is enough room to mount the coil pack at the rear of my rocker cover due to the intake pipe.. i would rather keep it as far away from the turbo heat as possible EVL098 wrote: Possibly get a couple of angle brackets welded to a spare rocker cover and mount them just about the VCT solenoid? ill have a look, but im doubtfull it will fit though, i tried to mount it between the dip stick and water neck on top of the fuel rail but it touched the bonnet.. otherwise i could mount it around the engine mount like factory ef but its not the best spot to get to.. |

Put it in the factory spot. It's not like they die every 5 minutes.
