My submerge import "traded for vn wagon"

so ecotecs have a heavier spring do they?

[delcowizzid]

way longer than a vn one especially when a vn ones been in there for years they get real short

[VNracer34G]

Too long i reckon, the S2 VN & VP EV6 motors use one a bit stronger than the S1 VN which is a good upgrade, the ecotec springs give around 50psi @ idle which is way too much - need stronger valve springs to overcome the extra pressure pumping up the lifter which then means double row timing chain and increased stress on the valvetrain - vicious cycle really- and volume is far more beneficial than pressure

yeah my ecotec is 60psi when cold and about 40 hot at idle

[delcowizzid]

my vp was over 80psi on cold startup was off the gauge it only went to 80psi LOL. 50-60 at idle warm off the gauge at revs it handled 100's of back to back g-tech runs to 6000rpm every gear when testing tunes

thought ide buy some more shit cause i can LOL fuel pressure gauge dodgy electric but i didnt really feel too keen on feeding a fuel hose into the car for now never mind the colour change i know its a little ricer but ill have it on white .and a couple of breather filters for the rocker covers so i can fit my VR inlet manifold without drilling passages in the heads for the PCV valve feeds also got a front facing thermostat housing for it so i have room down the drivers side for the cooler pipework also gives me the better fuel rails and regulator so i can fit my throttlebody out the other side now just sit back and wait for the goodies to arrive in the mailbox ebayaholic nowdays

ebay is a wonderful place

hmm be a shopaholic without ever even getting off yor arse except to go to the mailbox- spose thats exercise

so whats the plan for attaching the breathers mate?

[delcowizzid]

15mm alloy pipe welded in the covers i reckon probably straight up from the top corner so they are high and away from oil in the rocker covers since it wont be baffled in there could get a baffle welded in a corner for them dunno yet probably end up with a catch can at some stage just want them cause the vr inlet install is going to delete the PCV valve

[Holden202T]

so you obviously have the alloy tappet covers then ?
