I'm looking at some new wheels now (again!). Just sorting out the pricing as to if its cheaper getting them imported or buying them here.

An Isuzu is definately NOT a Holden. Not one part of my car says Holden on it, so it can't be that. More likely that I was blessed with an ultra fast kart this time, with much uncontrolability. Pushrod, say sorry to your brother for me man, was probably my fault!!!

I'm in, with a mate too

I'll try to make a trip down to see all my children once the gem is back on the raod.

So, with a T3 running between 12-20psi, Should I be running an external wastegate, and if so, what size?

It's simple, just 3-4 wires to hook up. Just follow the instructions and you'll be fine.

$1000 that's cheap as!!! Most setups i've heard of come to around $2000 all up after buying the diff, shortening it, swapping the mounts and what ever extra shit you need to do.

Sweet, might go hunting. Maybe

Is there an easy way to tell if it's an LSD without turning the wheels?

What?

What's wrong with a good ol' supercharger these days. Just get an uprated one and some higer psi pullies and it'll work a treat. Supercharged can be just a fun as turbo, more so in some cases - and you've got the option of an engine that comes stock with one which almost bolts in!

You may aswell just save for the SR20 conversion. Trust me, it will be much harder, frustrating and more expensive than you think it is. If you can find a suckthrough kit, though, that would probably be your best option. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.

You'd have to buy the intercooler, and depending on the kind of piping you want, then I would say $400 -$1500 for the piping. Bends and length and diameter change how much it's gonna cost ya too. Best to ring a few exhaust shops and ask them.

I have a Sprite Zero bottle. Works a treat, although the water got so hot that the bottle warped :S

Davidian: Yup, I'm pretty sure he'll be able to. That's just the name of the shop but i think he does all sorts of carbs

Ring murray at Weber Specialties in Auckland. He'll tell you what carb to use.

WESTCORT: IF I cant find the carb I need, keen to swap your 32/32 for a 32/36? I got a good one here (not the one on my car, a nice reconned one)

Just running the regular radiator with a 12" electric fan and gave the system a flush. I think I'm gonna have to upgrade the radiator so something a bit more modern... As for the carb, I talked to the dude who gave it to me and he said he modded the secondary to open when the primary is half open. I'm not sure if changing this will make a difference when its foot to the floor. Although, I did change the progressive jet (had been drilled out to 1mm!) to a 0.60mm one, and that has helped a bit.

Yeah, I think I may have found the carby I'm looking for. Its a 32/32 from a Lancia Delta HF Turbo (early model). Both people who are helping me out rekcon this will fix the problem. I replaced the progressive jet in the carb with a .60mm one as the one I had was previously drilled out to 1mm. This has helped a bit, more than changing to a .45mm anyway. Next problem, overheating!

The secondaries open depending on how much throttle you put on (mechanical I think it's called). If I gradually put my foot down, it's all good coz I can work it so the boost comes on just before I floor itand open the secondary.

I'm having a bit of trouble with my blow through carb setup (32/36). (G161z, forgies, shortened rods, hd crank, turbo cam, T3 turbo, etc) When I floor the accellerator, the engine bogs down off boost and stutters untill the boost comes on, then it revs up nice and fast. The two guys who are helping me with this (old race car specialists running a carb shop and a race car shop respectively) reckon that the secondary throat is giving too much fuel, so when I put my foot down and the secondary opens, it's trying to push too much fuel in. We took the top off of the air box and you could definately see fuel kinda spraying back out the carb, and there were droplets in the top of the throats. Both these guys reckon that rejetting the carb wont really help, as it is the size of the venturies that make the difference. They are recommending I get a 32/32 with 22 jets to solve my problem. The idea makes sense to me but I have the feeling that this carb will be too small, the come stock on 1.4s and stuff. Do you think that rejetting my current carb with smaller jets will make a difference, or that these guys are correct in saying I need a smaller carb? Would a 34ADM possibley be an option? Cheers Leon

I was led to believe that 28/36 Webers are from GT Cortinas. Getting pretty rare now too

What gearbox are you using with this?

I'm pretty sure that carb only has 1 screw on it. Right near the bottom.

You have a TG tho, don't you? I have a feelings they run different rads to the TX/D/C
