Todays intakes are more than likely made of plastic.
I've all way's shied away from them because of the lack of being able to easily improve the flow.
One case in point would be a 4.6L with PI heads. We had to remove the nice ported Alum. intake and replace it with a plastic unit to get the power up to the levels we wanted. So go figure
Another area where work needs to be done. Man I hate R&D on my nickle.

Cool question Otto.

Can't find the compression height.

 

[wrench459 (R.I.P.)]

The compression height 05 LK5 vin 8 is........1.101
as per http://www.kb-silvolite.com/assets/09_silvolite_catalog.pdf

Too bad the crown won't work in a wedge head.

You'd want to keep the runners as long as stock since that is an appreciable part of the design intent...longer runners aid in torque. But no one said you couldn't extend the runners straight out towards the fender. Even downhill (invert the 'c').

True but with it's four inch stroke I think there's a little wiggle room.
Would a log type intake increase the HP output?

 

[wrench459 (R.I.P.)]

I wonder if a quad 4 intake will fit.

Yea Kieth at Nuw Ventige is a butt wipe:haha:

Why in the world is the "Stock intake" being used?
I would twist it over and under the drivers side ..then take it to clean cool air.
You can get long runners and a sweet big plenum.

 

[wrench459 (R.I.P.)]

I had thoughts of modifing the intake... There are sensors for computers in the intake and then the throttle body would be repositioned. Then I realized I'm not a GM engineer who designed this setup. .
Bench Racers aka Wanna be GM Engineers?????

Ok lets do some bench racing.
Or let a tuner do the math for you.
flip over read directions LOL

I myself thought about this swap into a Kadett C (or Buick Opel by Isuzu), but the top of the timing chain housing intimidated me..... lol. I'm leaning towards a GM LD9 (2.4 Twin Cam found in J and N bodies) instead (I've had 10+ years of experience modifying them).

I'm working on a 2007 Holden 2.0L in a Froenza thats driving me crazy with transmission controls.

Help I'm going bald working on this stuff................

I know Jessie has built the header so far..

The header looked pretty good.:yup:

 

[wrench459 (R.I.P.)]

Pics ?

I would also like to see a finished header picture.
The preview looked very nice.

 

[wrench459 (R.I.P.)]

patience

Butthead

It can't be as bad as this.

And just for grins another.

 

[wrench459 (R.I.P.)]

BTW how are things like the ignition wiring coming along...

:haha: Harold made me :haha:

:lmao:

 

[wrench459 (R.I.P.)]

.... Still had paper work but figure I'll do it in the morning.

Which morning? :haha:

.. I don't want to post them for public exhibition yet.

Once I had two brothers going head-to-head in a grudge match.
I got caught up in the middle somehow.
So yes, I understand.

 

[wrench459 (R.I.P.)]

I'm at my laboratory now, developing complex algorithms for the cigarette lighter.

So hows the wiring of the cigarette lighter going..

I think that he's stuck at the "glowing resistance" on the circuit. :haha:

.. Who knew giving HC a job was gonna take up so much of my time.
"That is not all true but I guess you can say that."

I could say something here....But my better judgment said nahhhhhh

3) An electric fuel pump (35 PSI if memory serves), and plumbing of the gas tank and gas lines

Try 50-57 psi.
