bit of work in that setup

how does it go with the twin TB's ?

[bldnut]

nice ride. how did you go about fitting the vr struts and what strut tops did you use, I've been looking at dong the vr strut conversion on 1 of my projects

56K warning LOL theres like 16.5 meg worth of pics there

[antus]

Pics fixed. Nice car

[hdt1979]

fitting the vr struts was easy, get yourself a reamer & take about .040 thou out of the centre of a vb-vp nolothane bearing plate ,then it all bolts together. (RTA spot checked me at botany one day and couldn't fault car on anything.

twin tb works great, I don't like spending money if I can do it myself that's how the manifold came about, looked at buying a twin tb setup but hard to get original ,and aftermarket ones are too expensive , so I modified the redline manifold got some sheet ally cracked the mig and tig out , that's the end result. once ive sorted out the tune and broke her in ill post the power output figures. throttle bodies are twin 65 mm on a staged setting ,so that primary opens about a third of the way then by full throttle there both open.

[Holden202T]

that's what you want, staged so you have part throttle drivability!

How much front camber did you end up with using VS lower control arms?

[hdt1979]

Now having vr/vs struts i can stand the camber back up so that with those 17x9 inch rims i get no edge tyre wear from excess camber, it also has camber adjustment on inner control arm bolt thanks to group c k-frame. With that setup i use bearing plate to adjust castor and use struts and control arm to adjust camber, in total 30mm +/- camber adjustment from 0.
