Sportline steering wheel Defi style air/fuel, water temp and oil pressure gauges Autometer 5' Tacho (in facia) and boost gauge Re spray in Raven Black with accents in gloss silver electric radiator fan frontmounted inter cooler Toyota SC14 supercharger with custom pulley arrangement pipework is being made up to suit this week so I'll need to work on getting the belt to stay on properly...

73 'rona Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Got the super charger all mounted properly and running today after some issues with the pulley last week. Seems to be giving me about 10PSI but ther's oil flying everywhere and the seals on the carb can't handle the pressure so I basically only succeeded in blowing the fuel out of the carb on onto the manifold... Did some good skids in the driveway first though. Ha Can't seem to get it keep the pressure up either so I'll have to look into that and hopefully be able to drive it by the weekend...

73 'rona Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Well that was fun... sealed all the carb up plumbed in some pressurised air and it shat itself... Then I got angry and went for a blat in the GTR and that shat itself... So now I've rebuilt the carb in the corona and I'll have to look after it for a while so I can get around... Fuckin' cars. I have put in an MSD electronic ignition system which has made an incredible difference to the running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
