R1 5VY Fitting Trickshifter
a4gom - 29/3/09 at 07:27 PM

Sorry for all the questions lately but I'm trying to get it together for Harewood on the 9th of May I'd usually do a bit of studying and try work it out for myself but there are a couple of weeks when I won't be able to do anything on the car and I'm running short of time.

Anyone got any experience fitting the trickshifer to a 5VY engine? Where is the best place to get the vacuum feed for the throttle blipper?
Some pics would be great if possible .

Thanks in advance

I've got one on my race car on this engine. Just take the vacuum from the port on the bottom of the throttle body that wold normally be used for balancing. You'll see all 4 TB's are linked with pipe but the plastic connectors are solid without holes. These are the ones you want to use.

We had the trickshifter guys at the track with us the other day and this is how we got it working well.
