  1. My old Flattie had one of these...(although in wagoon form)...We put a real basic surge tank into it and it solved many an issue. it revved out far smoother and had way less issues with starvation.

    It was super basic. Just the stock VL pump feeding a surge tank which was just a large diameter bit of pipe with my old GTiR fuel pump inside it. 

     

    He also had issues with finding an LSD for his too.

    But my god it was a lush car...and the disco red interior was grand!

  2. So the pics I took of what I came up with next were on my phone...which I dropped in the toilet on Wednesday.

    This is all I could recover.

    This is what I replaced the intercooler with.

    Its rough but I pressure tested it for leaks and its all good and I have also put 2 ports into it for the boost actuator and for the aneroid hose so they are getting accurate readings from the same area at the same time.

    But anyway I drove it into the forest today to go for a ride and it made all the right noises and didnt get all hot n bothered.

    It still needs a bit of a tune up.

    The TPS that controls the slushmatic transmission is all wrong so it doesnt change gears properly/at the right time but it still pulls like a 13yro boy up a hill.

    So I will take it to a trans specialist to get it spot on cos Im a bit over it tbh.

     

    It could probably do with a wee bit more fuel but will throw a wideband onto it to see whats what.

  3. Apologies to my neighbour.
    You may find an intercooler in one of ur paddocks.
    I may have lost my temper last night and thrown my toys...and i was going for distance!

     

    Now after deciding a twin inlet Subaru intercooler was a stupid idea as its FAR too complicated for my small brain.

    So I have made a straight pipe from turbo it intake manifold.

     

    So lets try this again tomorrow.

     

    Will report back.

  4. So put hacked fuse in and put battery back in after a good looooong charge and buttoned a few other things up.

     

    Gave her a crank and boom she fired right up.

     

    SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!

     

    Fixed the idle and put in an EGT sensor.

    Also had to chop off an old throttle stop as it wasnt letting me get full throttle...like 2000rpm at max foot mashedness.

    This bit here...

    Replaced the fucked driveshaft hanger bearing and took her for a drive today.

    It goes but not well...can hear some MASSIVE boost leaks.

    Had a feel around and sure enough you can feel the air escaping through pinholes in the intercooler manifold and it also doesnt help that I didnt use gaskets when putting it together and forgot to tighten up the bolts from the turbo to the intercooler...HERP DURP!!!!

     

    So battery is BACk on charge and will try again tomorrow after work.

    Aim is to drive it to work on Tuesday.

    aquaducks was fun. Need a middle of nowhere location away from the law for maximum fun

     

    I look forward to pushing a bike with direct drive most of the way when it decides to not start again!

    Yeah...pushing a 20ton deez dromer that has busted its chain is awesome fun!

  6. Was loading a tank onto a truck today and this was sitting ontop of a bunch of other pallets/cargo.

     

    I doubt severly its an original Bugatti as the wheels are 4 stud not knock ons...and who would send an originla Bugatti on the top of a dodgy Sollys transport truck?!
