Not sure bout the battery yet. It is a little to close for my liking. I have made a small heat sheild to protect the battery. only time will tell if this will be enough.
anothyer heat sheild or larger one shoud do the job. I'm a little worried it will heat the batterey tray and the tray will melt ...

Job not finished yet. Once I have it back I will be making a shroud to sel on the top of the cooler to divert all air through cooler. aswell as many more bits and peices.

I'm unsure of price on scuba tanks yet coz I havn't picked it up. they only hold 27ltrs each but every bit counts.

Does any1 ...

Hi all
Been collecting parts for quite some time now. Finally decided to pull her off the road and make a start.

Correct me if I'm wrong here. I'm sorting out oil lines for my TB42 strait gas turbo set-up.

Can any1 tell me what the other bungs in the side of the block are for?
I have in my head a distant memory of working on a standard VL turbo. that the oil feed, drain and water come from the block.
I ...

hey im finnaly up to the dawnting task of wiring up the motor. i have a crashed mk1 gti so i have th complete wiring loom, i have been doing my homework on this and so far i have learned i have to strip off all the un needed wires and piece in constant power, if any one who has done this could help ...

thanks, that helps.... do u no any sites i can get a diagram from?

hey im currently changing the motor in my 96 sierra to a g13b twin cam. i have found lots of info on here but im struggling to find wireing diagrams. if anyone could help out with info on the best way about it that would be great.

I'm having problems with my vacum assisted clutch aswell. Havn't had time to investigate. My clutch is as good as gold at idle and low revs. when you get up around 3000RPM and change gears the clutch is stiff as rock. Its like it runs out of vacum. any1 got any ideas or a fix

Has any1 actually commented on how the ZD30 airbox mounts in a GQ. Does it bolt strait up or do you need a plate made up or what?

works to busy I'm workin on them pics

I have spoke to impco and they told me they don't really make a system suited for a turbo set-up. Gas research are the way to go

I'm goin out to see my mate and I will take some photo's of this scoop that i have in mind. If it looks as neat as I remember it. I would imagine you all will LOVE it.

Yes Coxy I have read The bonnet scoop section. Mine is purely for airflow to a top mount cooler. Still havn't seen the one I had in mind. I think it was a little smaller than the GU scoop. I can't tell from that bighorn pic if that is simailar.
Might look completely diferent on a GQ

What is the best looking bonnet scoop for a GQ. I have a GU scoop but i'm unsure if i should mount it, as the GU is alot rounder than the GQ.
(I think the rounded shape is better suited to the GU)

I have seen a scoop on a mates GQ years ago, That from memory, he said was a factory GQ scoop.

Supercharging and turbo, Interesting. Is the charger going to run rite the way through the revs or will it be bypassed when turbo makes boost.

I think what tim is trying to get at is he wants some info on setting up a SC14 on a TB42. Pics and details.

I know this car well. its a gas research set-up with twin B2 converters. Gas research throttle body and a custom high flowed nissan turbo from JPC. No expence has been spared with this old girl.

I have seen this car in action and its awsome. Good luck on your research Tim.

My advice Supercharged 5.7 would cure all your problems.

Corect me if I'm wrong But the power you loose through driving your supercharger is returned in more power (boost). Thus being a cycle, everything that is run from the motor takes power from it not all put it back, with the exception of a turbo of coarse. My experience with turbo and supercharging ...

Hi there my dad has just bort a low kms 100 Series Cruiser. 4.2 diesel.
He wants a little more power out of it.
I understand every1 is putting turbo kits on them.
But is there any1 doing a supercharger kit.
After all this would be beter power for up the bush?
If not Why not? What are the pro's and ...

The ones I'm doing the group buy on are OFFROAD air lockers (couldn't get a more vague brand name)

So tell me who is in the position to stand up to ARB and put these idea's forward. If things change, And ARB will come to the party with finance or something of the like, So its easier for your ...

I really don't understand this hole un-Australian nonsence.

If you wear Ausiebum jocks, Married to a full blood Aussie, Drive an Australian made Car, With an Australian Made Engine, wear Australian made clothes and only eat Australian grown food.

Then yes you have a fair arguement.

I think ...
