Funny you should mention it - we were discussing just that yesterday .........

Tacked it all together then mounted it up on the ute for testing purposes

Been meaning to do this for quite some time- today was the day, we had a club meeting at Firekrakas yesterday and on the way home the old girl was getting a bit warm on the freeway in the 37 degree heat so seeing as today was going to be 39 figured a job in the shed out of the sun was a good idea ...

Going to go with a blow through setup Harv

Speaking of his FJ ute…..

Nice but it keeps blowing up pushing limits.

HHa.

........ pushing the limits is the most effective way of finding them

If you have a lazy 80 grand or so you could copy Mark Riek’s latest build -

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

There may be a another ute that needs internal hinges as I have done on Ammo's ute.

Sorry mate they have gone to scrap .......

Oh hell yes 8)

Are we talking period-correct 5-10psi, or the fooly sik version north of 30 pissies?

Cheers,
Harv


Period correct 5-10 P.S.I. mate, the plan is to keep the crank ABOVE the crossmember......

Did you see that little Morry ute with the Wade blower on it for sale on Bookface the ...

Got the test bench set up to make sure everything fits - need Sonic injection to pull their fingers out and make me a 32/36 Weber manifold- we are also tossing up the idea of running a couple of small throttle bodies on a twin strommie manifold and then run 3 injectors into bosses welded into it ...

Now that I have a nicely rebuilt good running engine in the ute the only sensible thing to do is try and blow it up [emoji123][emoji41]
Work has started on the turbo manifold- Ryan has made the collector section
