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 Dave's right about the mounting though, total pain. Did you brace the floor at all under the pedal cluster?

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?

Phosphoric acid roughens up the smooth metal and gives the por15 something to "bite" to. If I remember correctly, the pans I'm using are about 22 gauge thick, so not thick enough to support the loads of my foot pressing hard on the brake

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.

I won't quote the amount of the conversion because of the special requirements I had, but you can contact Jake / Len for a ballpark figure.

You can thank Dave / Herbie53X for the excellent solution to mounting the Tiltons ... I can't take credit for that. I don't have the pedal measurements handy, but the installation manual with dimensions is on the Tilton website.

Effvee, contact Jake at www.aircooledtechnology.com for the twin plug heads.

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 ....

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.

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.

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.
