Very tidy !!! … would keep on eye the exhaust cam cover vent, you may find oil coming out of there participially during right hand corners.

A "lostsoul" designed and "mungyz" built catch tank would look good in there ;-)

Yea ive seen your catch can very impressive
I have a catch can somewhere just havnt hooked it up yet.
Another issue I have is the pipe that vents the fuel tank goes to the carbon canister I think, ive aseholed the canister & am left with this ugly pipe that runs along the left chassis rail. whats the best thing to do with that?

Well tune didn't happen has a unsteady vacuum reading makes tuning tricky. So had to pull the manifold to pieces again & the unique way the VG30 is designed had to remove all the cambelt & accessories to remove the lower plenum swear
Once I got it to bits Glen etched in some groves in the base plate to link all the throttles together very clever cool
Before I put it together I ordered some ram tubes from a company called metal spinning specialists in the south Island.

I anticipated not being able to shut the bonnet, I will either cut a hole in the bonnet or get another with a bulge in it.

Ive put some regrinds from Franklin cams in with Manley valve springs.
270 deg duration with about 8.5 mm lift.

Are they not able to get more lift from regrinds?

Probably could. Franklen cams said I would benefit more from duration rather than lift for a non turbo.
