Im collecting parts at the moment.

Im putting it on straight gas using gas research gear and cheap 2nd hand parts.

Im hoping to nearly double its current power for under $2k. I reckon it is worth it but I wont have as much as range as before due to getting rid of the petrol setup. Luckily I dont really travel long distances.

[ELF_83]

running straight petrol on mine using EFI intake manifold bigger, injectors EFI dizzy for crank angle sensor and runnin falcon coil packs with J 121 ignitors rising rate fuel reg and big bosch pump running with Haltech E6X computer. Was all pretty easy once i stopped listening to bullshit that people who should know better were tellin me. Im pullin bout 330RWHP at the moment but i set my car up for all bottom end power for XWC so its really quick off the line.

If your talking about ARB xtream winch challenge round 2, your confusing ELF 83, with RUS 69.

What turbos are you running ELF 83? last time i looked they looked GT20 sized?

russ has the SINGLE turbo BLUE and SILVER shorty and i have the TWIN turbo GREEN and SILVER shorty anyone in CQ will know the two cars. russ is also runnin the 4.5 asnd i am runnin the 4.2.

at the moment i am runnin gt28's and will be going up to 30's when i finish putting my triple byppass shocks in cause i have to build new manifolds any way and you can never have enough horsepower.

my car is setup so that the turbo's come on instantly at the slightest touch of the throttle where as russ has to run anti lag to get a similar effect i will be keeping the 28's for the shorter shuff probably and having the 30's for outback and cruiser where there are longer flatout stages.

not real sure of the cost of my engine setup cause have done a bit of experimenting with different ideas that have failed but i'll try to worki it out for you. as for pictures i haven't got any yet but i will get some for you one day.

im also going to start a turbo setup for my mums LWB and use it as a mock up so i can start doing turbo manifold's or whole conversions for people.
