Looking that way :( :)

Wont rush in to it, want to get some other bits and peices finished first.

I can still keep it draw through for the moment.

 

Haha nahh mate, GT35R ;) :P

 

Ohh and for anybody that is interested, the wideband works fantastical :D

Idles hot at around 13-14 (depends what I have it set at) But when the flood gates open up it goes past 10:1 :P

Better rich than sorry I suppose :)

Already has a 2.5" 'exhaust' ;)

Been struggelin to find a 32/36 weber for a reasonable price, all the decent ones people are asking on average around $150-200... Stupid thing is I can buy a brand spanker from the US with an electric choke for ~$250 posted! So I'm deciding if I want to spend the extra $$ and get a brand new one..hmmmm.

Will go to a wrecker tomorrow and see if there is any decent ones there.

 

Anywho, Iv changed the coolant lines going to the turbo. Decided that the vibrations will one day cause the aluminium to give way, and my mate has some 9.5mm copper pipe. So I went ahead and made new ones :)

 

 

Because I'm going blowthrough now, Iv gone and got a free intercooler :)

So I cleaned her out (came off a turbo diesel) and begun mounting it. Let me just say that its such a good fit its not even funny! Any longer and it wouldnt fit, any taller and it would hit the headlights; its just about spot on!

So iv made two of the mounts so far, and will make the lower ones sometime tomorrow or the following weekend.

 

 

Still need to cut the hole for the pipes :)

This shit is Bananas! Love it mate!

looking good man what did the cooler come off

Cheers :) Getting there!

Bought a carby the other day, and have filled the floats so they wont crush excessively under pressure :)

(While managing to get expanda foam in my eye :P)

To be fair I did try and find proper nitrophyl floats, but could not locate them for the 34ADM weber's. If anybody know's where to get some, would REALLY appreciate that. Its from a XF falcon and apparently they used to be replaced when converting to LPG.

 

Iv started to make the adapter plate that I can weld to the manifold, will drill it tomorrow at work

Ill put it back together tomorrow or the following day once its 110% dry.

Then the process of modifying the manifold :/ (Shortening and welding adapter plate to the manifold)

This is a great read! Loving it!

What welder you using mate?

 

Cheers

Cheers mate :)

Would have liked to go into further details but always get carried away when I'm in the middle of something and forget to document it :P

Actually 4 welders :P

1: Some old crappy MIG I borrowed from ford next door (We don't do much welding so its some ancient thing)

2: Oxy/acc kit at my step-dads work (Manifold end caps)

3: 'MIGOMAG' welder we have at home (Majority of the welding)

4: Some guy down the road at an exhaust joint did the stuff while we were waiting for new tips for ours

(The top pipe on the manifold and the wastegate blastpipe)If I ever get my exhaust done on my DD, I'm going to him.. did an awesome job :)

I now has a plate that the my weber will eventually bolt up to, the holes are cut out and just need to tap the threads (Will do at work tomorrow)

Mounting it to my manifold will be fun ... :P

 

Anywho I mate the two other brackets for the intercooler, and cut the holes for the pipes... Its not a pretty thing hacking holes in your front wall with an angle grinder/die grinder.. but well there are only a few ways to skin a cat.

Example pipes only, not actually cut to shape.

 

 

Not my best work, but I was bargaining with the things around it for space :P

 

 

 

Ohh yea up for sale is a HIF44 SU if anybody wants it.

Ill put it up on ebay in a few weeks (When I can be arsed :P) But if anybody wants it its just sitting there.

Wow them holes are pretty agriculture :laff:

what carb you going for blow through? sorry if you've said already

Haha I know :( *Shameful face*

Not feeling 100% so wanted to pack up for the night.

I WILL neaten them up with the die-grinder this weekend, its never gonna look pretty, but ill do my best dag nabbit :P

 

It wont matter too much once I line it with u-mould, should look much neater.

Well I wanted a 32/36 weber, but the one the wrecker gave me was a 34ADM.

No biggie, just means I need new floats so I'm looking into that now. I could go back and have at them for giving me a product I did not ask for but I don't think its worth it.

Put some electrical conduit over the cut steel, neatens it up heaps. Have a close look in my rides thread if u don't know what I mean.

Looking a little better :)

 

 

Found a pre threaded rod, so I just cut it to length.

Managed to source a proper nitrophyl for my weber, so iv picked that up today :)

(Ill set the float level when its ready to go together)

 

Ye old carburetion device-a-magig:

I went for this series of weber because the vents are in the top, and you don't need to encase the whole thing; just need a hat.

Which I will probably end up making, not gonna spend $250 on a square bit of metal.

 

Ye modern float:

 

Once running it will be as fast as this:

 

Wishful thinking? I think not... :P

 

I'm also in the process of ordering an Bosch 070 EFI pump and carby fuel pressure regulator :)

So depending how my finances go they should be in my possession within the next few weeks.

Next step (after parts acquired) Shorten manifold runners so it doesn't hit the bonnet :P and weld the carby plate to the log somehow.
