Torana SS
Re: Torana SS
Speaking of the ECU, turned out there is a nice sized hole for it behind the glovebox. But, there was no way I was drilling holes into the bottom of the plenum to mount it - made a big bracket instead, which also gives provision to tie up some of the wiring
Tucked away just above where the wiring loom comes through, but can still access the memcal easy enough
Made a bracket for the throttle cable, and an adapter to attach the original cable end to the lever, and we're in business
Or so I thought. Had it started a couple of times and it seemed fine when running but very very hard to start and mostly just refused. It would crank fine and catch almost immediately, then just keep cranking with no sign of life. Spent two days on and off second guessing my wiring and looking at sensor output without any real clues. Decided that the voltage drop when cranking didn't look too bad but might be a little lower than it should be - after some troubleshooting it turned out that the EFI relay appeared to be working but was half burned out and wouldn't supply enough power! Replaced the relay and it was all good.
The wideband is all hooked up and running 12P so have spent the last day or so doing some tuning, and it has come ahead in leaps and bounds. Still some odd behaviour with idle control at times (it idles at 65kPa) which I may need some help with, but I'm stubborn so have to try fixing it myself first.

Re: Torana SS
Excellent work. Would be one of the most professional conversions I have seen.
Re: Torana SS
Awesomework on the rails especially that's paid off well. But awesome work all round!
With the tune post up a bin and a log see what's happening.

Re: Torana SS
Thanks guys
Here is a finished photo, at a quick glance you'd almost miss it if it weren't for the white injectors. Thinking about building an air box to seal the filter to the scoop, that might hide a bit more
(the bundle of wires under the blower housing is the wideband controller, that won't be staying)

Re: Torana SS
yeah top work on the fabricating! hidden very well!
No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower!

Re: Torana SS
As everyone else has said awesome fab work.
Wish I had access to the tools you have and the skill to use them

Re: Torana SS
Thanks all for the positive comments
Will hopefully get a chance to refine the tune some more in the next few days, will post up some files for those interested
