The Tiltons are a PITA to mount but they sure are nice when you are done. Lots of cool goodies going into your ride.

Hi Sandeep, looks great! Especially after a 2year hiatus
![]() Anyway, what exactly is "acid etched with phosphoric acid"? Was the floor pan itself not sufficient to mount the pedalbox to? |

I had tiltons before it was cool... just kidding, once you put your feet on a set you'll never want to go back, you'll love 'em
![]() How much was the twin plug conversion on the heads? I've been considering a twin plug setup for a while and it's more tempting now that there are better ignition solutions. |

Beautifull work! especially since you did the pedals yourself
![]() I think you did the only viable way to install these: with the cylinders on the other side. Very well/nicely done!! This will be my example for when I am done with the stock cluster...thanks! How much further apart (distance sideways from clutch to brake pedal) are the Tilton's compared to the original pedals? The heads/twin plugs are very thought-out as well. Total respect for Len's work here! |

Daul Spark Heads
Twin plug turbo heads, 10mm spark plugs top and bottom, 42 x 38 valves, machined for V2 98mm Nickes. The exhaust flows 150 cfm @ .500" with a full valve guide
![]() ![]() ![]() How can I contact Aircooled Heaven? I went to their site but did not see a contact link, just a webmaster contact. I have two sets of heads that I want daul spark plug added. How much did it cost? |

Thanks for all of the comments.

![]() They are supposed to be mounted on a structural part of the chassis according to the manual, so I sandwiched the floor pan between 2 sheets of 1/8" thich steel plate to spread the load. Quote:

Wow Sandeep!! Man ,I thought you just wanted an engine upgrade! A total resto?! Well done,excellent work!! I´ve been looking at the Tilton pedals for a while.The pics you made answer a lot a lot questions - thanks! That is going to be a monster!! Did you order the oil pump also? If I can help you with that let me know.

Small update .... Installed the fuel system.
![]() The swirl pot is a billet transmission overflow tank, with new holes drilled into it. 3/8" drain into 3/8" hose / tube to a cheap inline filter, and then into a MSD 500hp capable EFI pump. The pump then pushes fuel through 3/8" tube in the tunnel to the distribution buss. From the regulator return, its 5/16" tube through the tunnel back to the swirl pot. There is a 1/4" feed from the fuel tank into the pot, and also a 1/4" overflow / breather from the pot up to the filler hose to the tank. I still need some 5/16" FI clamps for the 5/16" hose to finish this off. This is basically the same setup I used with the 2.0T, just better looking ![]() Difficult to find any more time to dedicate to the restoration right now .... Sandeep |

Cool looks good,
Replace those FI clamps with 2-ear clamps. I've had those FI clamps come loose on me and piss fuel everywhere with 5psi. Pete

It does look good and I found out that I probably (no, surely) need some sort of swirl pot for fuel delivery as well.
I do hope your lines and pump are big enough for your needs. |

Looking good Sandeep! I agree with Wally on the fuel lines.They do look a bit small..

I checked the specs on the pump and it only flows 160 lph at 45 psi, and at 20 psi boost it would flow less. I am not sure why I chose this pump in the first place now.
The aluminum injector holders have a -6an fitting, so it looks like I'll be running new lines through the tunnel again. What size do you suggest, based on my system ? Looking to support 500hp. Sandeep |
