And a Weber carb, or twin throttle injection? Following with interest.

Initially was going to go with a new 32/36 Weber - you can buy them set up as a blow through from a mob who specialises in turbo packages for Geminis but now going with a VN V6 ...

you can get clear protective wrap that you could put on the ute where the canopy sits to help paint protection

If I ever get this finished and if it makes a noise like that I will set fire to it myself .......


Early 90's cars with a BOV I can handle. Slam the throttle shut, the BOV lifts and the turbo compressor has somewhere to flow air to. The sututututu noise makes my soul hurt. That's the noise ...

Not the point, Blacky. GPS or GNSS, assuming use of Beidou, Glasnoss etc. as well as the original US military constellation, is as accurate as you can get, as long as you can see four satellites or more. Probably even work in tunnels now using “pseudo-lites”. It gives me confidence when I set ...

It won't Mick, this is for a mates car - I would like to do it to my ute but I don't want to cut the floor

how will this save you from cutting up the floor hump?

Oh well. Just drive the thing and forget it.

You've probably checked it, but it's worth asking that your blade orientation is right for pushing or pulling air (not just direction of rotation).
These fans will loose up to 30% of rated air flow if they are fitted the wrong way. This is nothing to do with clockwise or anticlockwise.


Yeah ...

You can only imagine the howls from the peanut gallery on bookface when they see them for this sort of money though - "I bought a whole car for $25 in 1974" etc etc etc .............. :roll: :roll: :roll:


and that "whole car" would have been an EK :wtf: :crazy: :roll: :lol:

are you sure they're HT they look huge compared to your feet

i've had 13" wheels on HK/T/G brakes

I reckon they look great with radiused rear wheel arches 8) 8) 8)


was always the plan with my black 2 door then every man and their dogs were taking any sh!tbox they could make move hanging wheels out the rear guards and jacking the front up and calling it a "gasser" so scratch that idea
