It was a bad week for the next EH Build budget. At least it is all car stuff though.

Looking forward to following this. Your efforts in documenting your builds is sensational. As is your work itself.

I ended up solid mounting the pump and using a BA Falcon serpentine belt tensioner. It was a fairly elaborate setup in the end

The new front end is infinitely better than the HR setup. I now easily feel the rear end getting loose and now realise it also needs upgrading to take advantage of the capabilities of the front. The HR setup would understeer and had some bump steer. It was also very firm however still bottomed out over pot holes. There were regular clunks from that setup. Now travelling over the exact same roads there is not a single knock or thud. The steering is obviously massively improved as that was the whole purpose of the change. The BMW rack powered by the electric Astra pump is still heavyish but nowhere near that of the old HR/Torana setup. You can steer and turn full lock now and do it with one hand. Overall I'm really happy...

VR Commodore power steering pump and Gen3 style reservoir are used. VT V6 hose used to connect them


VS-VY V6 Commodore power steering pump uses a multi-ribbed type belt so I needed an 11A section pulley to use the pump on the 308. The pulley mounting flange looked very similar to a 308 waterpump so I grabbed a spare waterpump pulley. The mounting bolt spacing was spot on. All I needed to do was enlarge the centre hole to 31mm.


VS V6 power steering pump mounted and correctly aligned. The pump will be driven by the same belt as the water pump. The alternator will run its own belt.


VT 5.0 litre uses a Bosch reduction starter fitted with a heat shield. This heat shield stops you being able to use a main battery cable in the normal position. I fabricated a screw on adaptor that allows the cable to come off the starter toward the front of the engine. This was then covered by some Earls fibreglass sleeving. Also in this sleeving is the B+ alternator wire, start wire and +ve wire to feed the main wiring harness



Rear of the motor is busy. There is the fuel line, fuel return line, nitrous feed line, all the powertrain wiring as well as the map sensor and ignition module. The heater hoses are also ready to be connected..




Love it. i alwas want something like this.
im about to do the same power steering pump on my 308. where did u get the adjester..?

Everything used on the setup was made by me or just original Holden parts.

Finally finished the trailer. It just needs the electrical things like winch, work lights, onboard charger etc sorted.

No Keith, I wish I had the facilities to do it. The lovely wife told me she wouldn't put up with the mess and loss of the garage for a couple of months. I took my design to a local trailer maker and they built it to my plan. We made a few compromises like the guards because they weren't willing to use the style I wanted. Turned out ok but just not the same as what I would have made myself.
