no.

That was very dafinitive

 

[matt.mcinnes]

It was dam hot today but paint dries real well.

Epoxy Enamel Black Rustoff by Wattle.

 

[matt.mcinnes]

Well it's all painted and ready to go back in.

My mech has a dead line now of been ready for the 28th March as we are booked at Melbourne Performance Center on the 31st for the Turbo manifold been built along with the fabrication for the intercooler feed.

 

[flaminbandit]

are you seriously paying 800-1000bux for a adapter your getting shafted you could get a proper custom manfiold built for 1200ish plus your adding 2 extra joins in the manifold that will leak

my own manifold owes me under 200 in parts plus around 4-6 hour labour
12mm laser cut head flange $30, 10mm t3 flange $20, 10x 90deg 1.25" buttweld bends $4each 4x 45deg 1.25" buttweld bends $6each

I prefer to pay for quality and in stainless and cearmic coated.

The new slightly longer inlet manifold suport.

Bell housing is complete.



Flywheel has been machined.

 

[matt.mcinnes]

May have to cut the bonnet and put a bubble down the one side As the intercooler is going to sit a little higher than expected plus a rear mounting scoop to let the heat out on the turbo side.
Will know for sure once it's all in

 

[matt.mcinnes]

Well DJB excelled himself again, My sliders, rock, my wide mouth winch, rocks and now the 4 way splitters for the water supply to the intercooler are space age

 

[malcb]

These were designed to split the coolant equally between all 4 inter cooler cores.

When I looked a the first photo I was impressed, the second photo has me head hurting trying to work out how they did it.

Very nice, I would have just had a simple manifold tig welded.

Well ever since I rebuilt my 40 after this in early 2006

With this from eBay

Back to this

I have had this hole from the PO, in which resided a vacuum gauge to show how economically you are driving. Now come on we all know this is a total waste of time, it's a 40 and the only way it's going to be anymore economical it to make it lighter. So I did and through the gauge out
The old air filter and snorkel left a hole which lent it's self perfectly to the twin battery isolator switch in red. (comp requirement)

The ash tray and radio hole became

Well for just over a year now I have had this annoying hole just above the head light switch Well guess what I found a use for the hole

Now I have only to fit and connect the turbo and find a use for the long range fuel tank hole.

i have been slowly reading through your thread, and found the pictures of what looks to be a nasty wreck, do you have any others of the carnage?

Well you never know I'm planning on doing a couple of US trips in 2009/2010, shipping my truck over too

Moab and Alaska are on my horizons.

 

[RockDoc]

So should I start planning for ACT 2010 so I can see a turbo injected turd blow away all the normal and mildly polished turds?
