Hocking Race shop was making them, I think he is in a bit of trouble and has vanished.

I think the Mizzi missile has a DC&O manifold.

Cheers,

Ben

HI all
Yes it has been a while
I got stuffed around for 3 years by my engineer and totally lost interest
in the whole thing.
BUt late last year i got a new engineer and 3 months later car was on the road. I had about 8 weeks of driving before the rain came.
Over winter the motor was freshened up

So i now have the bug back and ready to clock up some km's .
On the LEWIS ENGINES web page it says my car has a microtech ecu but i am still waiting for it. Steve from JAZMAC is the only person i will trust to tune it and he hasnt got ls1 software thats why im changing. Plus then whenever i change stuff dont have to spend another grand on ls1 edit.

The manifold is a DC&O from sydney, LEWIS can get them just email him for cost for your engine.

check gallery for more pics

Regards
Paul

I wouldn't change the standard PCM to an aftermarket ECU, you will never get the same sort of drivability and in my opinion, you'll regret it. There are so many features in the standard PCM that aftermarket ECU's just can't match.

What have you done to the motor??? Depending how wild you have gone, I will make you a program for nothing....

HI Plums
The motor has had everything done to it
CNC ported heads, 625 lift cam with 110 lobe centres
Forged pisties H beams , Light flywheel and then theres the
cross ram 8 throttle manifold .
So you are saying if i send you my ecu you will remap it.
I can check with Darren Lewis for what timing etc he wants in it.
How can you get air/Fuel mix right without it being run on dyno

I assume it will need to go back and forwards a few times to get it right.

Paul

I'll need lots of details, diff ratio, preferred thermo fan temps, type of fuel etc. I'll have to get the full cam specs, (duration, advertised and at .050, lift and ICL), importantly, what size injectors (how many lb), compression ratio etc etc.

You send me your PCM with a return post bag and I'll do it for nothing. I'm not saying that it'll be perfect, but it should at least get it going which I assume it doesn't do now.

You could even buy the software yourself (under $1000) and I could help you fine tune the program I send you, (or I could help the workshop do it)...
