Bombsquad Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Love it how your 2 peice s5 corner seals appear to be missing half of them (hopefully its just the photo angle and hasnt been running like that) And also dont port that 6 port centreplate or youll likely crack through the to the water jacket, you can flow em a lil bit but be very carefull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzayD Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 cool stuff man how many vivas have you put a rotor in now? I have the same problem with my hc viva's throttle you had. buggers about your engine. i have access to acid tanks at my work if you wanted some help cleaning up your housings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Yeah cheers H8V8S for the heads up. All the tips/seals are fine. Must be the photo? Anyway I was told by richard at greenbrothers that it was a 12 6 port and to check the runner heights - well mini disaster as far as buying the wrong parts avoided. As soon as I got up this morning I lined up all the housings/plates and discovered this... So 12a 6 port plates are a no no. The runners are 15mm lower then my normal 12a runners. I rang the fella I bought the plate from and luckily he was in town on his way back through from his 20b collecting mission in Greymouth. So he has taken the plate back no worries. Now back on the hunt. I'm gonna try the fella I've been suggested in Nelson as we are heading that way next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 So a housing is on the way- big ups to Uterus for his donation! (what is this dark horses name- is it Simon?) I'd really like to try and get this car on the road and possibly make the oldschool meet in that island above the mainland I'm not going to commit to it yet as car is not.. a; complete b; going c; legal- certed etc d; that big money pit that feeds cars is getting very dry.

Bombsquad Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Can you post more pics of that port? Where youve opened up that top hole has it broken into the water jacket? and porting down is never ideal, have you come below the runner or flush with the bottom? does look like a nicely done port job though, very smooth flowing and not tapered downwards.
