The life and times of the VZV21

Engine: 2vzfe V6 quad cam
K's: 97,000kms

Heres pics of the zorst as promised! 2/1/4 hi flow cat large res and supercat stainless twin tip muffler. Plans are to get custom extractors in the next few months, then get rid of the boat handling height issues


Time for a small update! Installing some gauges. I eventually decided to go with a bit of bling in the autometer colbalt gauges. Oil Pressure (P/N: 6127) & Water Temp (P/N: 6137) . Seeing as the pillar in the VZV21 isn't really designed for gauges and not really having the time to jig up a din mount, i went with the mat black autometer gauge cups (P/N: 2204)x2 . Then being really annoying i quickly found out that my gauges were only din mount, but quick thinking lead me to just cutting off the mounting studs on the back of the gauge. This allowed me to fit them inside the cups Woot! I then bought an speco adapter (P/N: 547-14) for the radiator hose, so i could quickly tap in the electrical sender.

Then just as neatly as possible wired up the gauge in the pillar following the loom through the firewall. How engine it is in current state.



This is how the cobolt temp gauge looks at night. Stock cluster looks dull in this photo but isn't really as bad as it looks.



Here is some of the parts getting ready to put the oil pressure sender in and gauge. Note i'm using a speco sandwich plate (547-50) for the sender as there isn't much room on the front bank anywhere else. Ohh and i dont want it to snap off in the block


With any luck i'll organise this soon along with a fluid change and get the radiator recored at the same time.
