Harv's Olbis injection thread
Posted: Thu Feb 14, 2019 4:43 pm
As promised, I will post the material here about Olbis injection as I learn. Attached below are my current notes:
It is awesome that at least one of the Olbis founders (Bernie) is still alive. Looking forward to talking to him. Olbis lost many of their records in the 2011 flood. The water went over the roof of the factory. Whilst they got the product out, much of the paperwork was lost. There are still some photo albums from the period. Hoping to share some of that material along the way.
Rather cool that the Olbis &*#@ Escort was racing in the Australian Touring Car Championship alongside the big boys. The 4th place in the Drivers Championship is no small feat! I suspect (as does the current Olbis GM) that the Escort was Olbis injected.
The photos of drag racing Olbis injection units at the end of my notes is curious... they are all hanging off Norman superchargers. Can't wait to ask Bernie if there was a relationship between Olbis and Norman.
If anyone has even a hint of an existing Olbis injection unit, please let me know. I promise to be discrete.
Cheers,
Harv
