Ha awesome! Please supply before and after videos

Dude that looks amazing! Whats the pros/cons of not running a balance pipe in the exhaust?

Im pretty sure if you played "join the dots to create a drawing" with your mileage graph - there's a model arching her back in there somewhere...

DaveScience - I have fuel rails and regs and pumps here if you want to use them?

Be careful Dave, that screw driver was poking the bearings back into place each time they threatened to fall out.

Had my phone on silent so unfortunately not. Bad son.

Funny you say this, last weekend he was at a 2 day vintage engine/tractor/cars jiz fest out at Karaka I think. Him and his mate loaded up the transporter with one of the Alice Chalmers tractors, the Anderson and took a campervan. They obviously failed to factor in the adequate amount of booze required as he text me at 2am wanting a delivery of Jack Daniels. The old man has an old rusty but awesome Massey tractor he's getting running (was seized) and probably 10-15 engines around the place. Will take some more photos when Im over there next.

My old man has an addiction to buying old stationary engines and tractors. One he has restored is 1914 (or so) Anderson hit and miss. He did a ground up rebuild then made a cart for it so that he can take it to vintage shows etc for other engineaholics to jiz over. He was using wooden wheels which look naff so I found some steel at work and made him some wheels. He's got a couple of old Listers he rebuilding at the moment and some weird of single cylinder engine that starts on petrol then swaps over to diesel? Keen to restore a couple myself, try to set one up to pump water up out of the lake below my house.

^ sounds pretty good Ned! Its where Link are lacking a bit, sure they have the LCD screen you could buy but using a tablet etc would be more popular. From what I hear they support the windows tablets but not Android/Ipad. The G3 > G4 conversion is fairly painless but there are a few tricks to it. For one you have to manually copy over the maps making sure you have the resolution the same - you can later add in extra resolution and interpolate to fill the gaps. Its well worth it though.

With the Link anything that has an input/output can be logged - you wont miss out on info if you just roll around with the laptop connected. You could look at upgrading the G3 to run on the G4 firmware as its a relatively cheap upgrade and among other things the datalogging is considerably better. Ive setup fuel pressure and oil pressure into my Link (G4+) and its all on screen either via laptop logging or via internal ecu logging for download later.

You will definitely still make good power with it. They just are a bit more coarse to use compared to newer versions.

They're usable but pretty old these days, will still work but don't expect miracles.

C52's are a reasonably strong gearset so I'd just slam the whole lot into the AW casings and go. The LSD's all swap over no problem. Personally I'd got for a C56 gearset which has shorter ratios but it depends what you want to use the car for - the extra revs at 100kmh may annoy you. The C56 is slightly better (newer) in design and also much easier to get 5th gear off when pulling the box down as its got threaded holes to wind bolts into so you don't need a puller. If you need C52 parts I have heaps including several gearsets

Awesome work Pete!

Motunau is a great spot, friends have a place there and we enter the fishing comp each year Shame the Anglia wont make it, sweet combo with the teardrop on the back!

I love the fact you made a graph about how much you love graphs Thats DaveScience right there people!! Internet clocked

Hey Dave, finish the story already. Thankyou please come again

A Power FC will work but for that price your almost at an Atom which will run absolute rings around it in every way. Take a quick look at the NZEFI site, they had (last time I checked) a pretty competitive package for Link Atoms ecus that comes with the loom, 2.5bar map sensor and an air intake temp sensor. From memory the price is almost trade. Then you can wire it in and drop it off to your tuner of choice who will likely do a better job with the newer ecu.

Yeah thats worth the effort - the last few link installs Ive done have been super hidden

Tidy! I like. Link it, single best modification ever.

Holy shit Ned this is fascinating - keep up the good work

Definitely his Mum in the lux, KPR doesn't want my Mum to know where he lives... his physical scaring has healed but the mental scaring might take a while hahaha

It was higher in the passenger side so he got his mum to be "navigator" to level it out...
