............. so Wrongway Roger and Which way Clay - sounds like you croweaters better leave the navigating to the womenfolk ......

I will have a handle over here if you cant turn one up locally - as for your speedo mate best thing to do is just get it serviced, about $150 over here so probably $80 over there .......

Figured we would just tee a feed off the sender port - going to weld a return line into the sump

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 ...

Good work,

Whats the turbo, size, make etc ?

There’s a bit of discussion about that - leaning towards the GBC 22/350 at the moment- see options below, if any of you guys know about turbos your opinions would be appreciated

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 -
