[blown vess]

looks good

[Carbon]

those reservoirs look great. My engine covers would cover it though. Are yours the SS Inductions ones?

I quite like the Walkinshaw ones but $500?

564

[Derek VE SS]

yep they are the $400.00 SS Induction ones , they should be gold plated at that price

[Derek VE SS]

Im not positive but I suspect the Walkinshaw covers come from the same supplier as the SS Inductions ones , same as the Walkinshaw Performance pod type CAI , its an SS Inductions Growler with a Walkinshaw sticker. They are located next to each other at Ormeau

[blown vess]

at least you guys are driving yours mines still in pieces:(

[Mark]

Looks good mate, nice colour!!

[Derek VE SS]

at least you guys are driving yours mines still in pieces:(

what happened , broken or just spending more money?

Maybe. But being next to SS Inductions at Ormeau is more of a Powertorque moving into that shop. Now Powertorque are the Walkinshaw distributor up here that's why the two signs are there

SS Inductions has been around for a while. Walkinshaw Performance really only came on the scene with the VE. When they did the first CAI, they used a SS Indcuctions growler like yours but it was made of a different plastic - looked more OEM. Powertorque have been running for at least 10 years up at Brendale and then recently moved into that same 'space'.

But I suspect you are right in that they are using similar moulds etc. Makes sense. Then Walkinshaw add the 'Walkinshaw' tax to it.

Mine might be too Brad. It's in at Holden for a couple of days at this rate.

[blown vess]

adam whats going on

They look to be the same item, Mark at Powertorque did the tune on my car, I couldnt be happier

[Carbon]

They are the same item. Different plastic though. I did have one like yours prior to going OTR. Had a great induction noise.

Mark did mine as well. Fixed a MAF tune I had and I went MAFless.

Brad, still having problems with the clutch and gearbox and now possibly diff and tailshft. The gearbox thing has been a little ongoin (about 12 plus months) but the tailshaft/diff issue is something new

Sorry to get off topic.

[blown vess]

derek ,mark at power torque also did my first tune he got 252rwkw was very impressed then after s/c fitted made 350rwkw now at hi torque getting some little mods.

adam hope its covered by warranty

[Carbon]

Yeah should be.

That power steering reservoir looks nice did u get a filter on the return line as well?

[Derek VE SS]

No, they only supplied the reservoir.

[VS_Pete]

Thanks for that

[keith reed]

My ve goes in monday week for the same but different treatment. already have the same induction. I'm using advance headers and fi exhaust. only other difference will be the a mafless tune. Will compare afterwards. Like the engine covers, agree to dear.

Who do you use to paint your engine covers Derek?

[Carbon]

My mate who does my painting (did my covers) is just off compton road if that helps mark

[Derek VE SS]

Who do you use to paint your engine covers Derek?

I had one of my mechanics at work paint them for me. Big mistake as up close its a crappy job.. thats what happens when you listen to people, when you really know better.
