The wagon started stalling on me...so I decided to fit the broad band manifold I modified about 2 years ago. So it started .What seemed like a staight forward job ended up chewing 8 hours of time.Still i am happy with the results as the car is pulling even faster. What didnt help was that my modified manifold was from an au2 not au1 and so the map sensors are totally different which led me to dismantle both manifolds to get the stock au upper manifold onto the modified lower one. The it happened..one of the bolts would not come off.It took me 50 minutes of fiddling to get it out...or I would have no car for work.
Eventually it all came together though and can honestly say that the wagon has gained more pulling power across the rev range.The difference is awesome. So..will I chase a new pb? Yes.

CAT600 is a nut that gets results. Stav, you're just a nut! And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Yes I am.but I am also the nut who first mentioned stall convertors for the au six and was laughed at.Now theyre all using hi stall convertors. I am also the nut who asked if we can get 700 rwkws from an au falcon and was laughed off again at the time..yet extreme are achieving those results now. Yes I am a nut..but a nut who takes things that people are scared of and make them work.

unless they're transmissions, rite?
good work on the more power you'd be getting close to the same power per litre as a modern jap 4-cyl, wouldn't you?

Transmissions operate effectively through winter and in the snow regions, so a cold box would not be the cause of transmission failure. Flogging a box when it's cold may cause failure though, but drive properly and there should be no issues. I live in Canberra which has freezing winters (<0) and hot summers (>30). I have always run external bypass coolers on my transmissions and as yet have never had a transmission failure. And I do not drive like an old man, but I don't go drifting everywhere either.

Go Stav .... I should drop in for a chat ... and get those gauges installed on the ute as well.
Has been ages since we last caught up. As for boxes though ... regular maintenance is needed ... I did put an external cooler ... but used a much better replacement ADRAD radiator and used the internal cooler in that as well on the AU. After my first trans died (due to the first owner ... Cronulla Council ... failed to service the damn thing) ... I had a rebuilt box put in (built originally for boosted application) and kept it serviced. Even though i ran load on it all of the time and manually shifted the thing ... it was still like new when i traded it in. And this is with sitting in Sydney traffic in the heat as well ... god knows what temps it would see ... i didn't have a gauge to report it unfortunately.

Good on ya stav. Great to see you back in the swing of things. You keep on fighting the good fight.
I can relate to how you’re feeling to. Haven't worked on my ute for ages but with a recent dash conversion not going to plan, for the last two weeks if I haven't been at work, I'm in the garage getting it working. And guess what? I'm loving the ute and tinkering with it more than ever. Cheers

Thanks guys I almost blushed when I saw this but remembered the hairs on my chest lol.
The wagon has alot more low to midrange torque and I still havent tuned it. Very busy with work so one thing at a time. A good stall convertor and then some way to make the car stay on the ground .Then we should be right to go. ![]() Its easy to get excited about things so I thing to take each day as it comes and race it first to see what it is doing then tweak it.. Hopefully it will run a flat 14 but after 2 years of daily driving I would be glad with a 14.9 or quicker.
