QCADTA Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 congrats on the new arrival. yeah things do tend to slow down out in the garage when youve got a new wee one on the scene. good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Congrats on the little critter Oh ok, not sure if your brother passed on the history of the two, the head with the metal fillings (a cortina head) should be fine, as i just had to drill one of the head bolts as i stripped it but the other head was off my 205 block that spat the rod out the block so you may want to get that head crack tested and check the valves. good lick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mean i was thinking about getting them from page services ltd here in chch but he wanted $650 for the 2 but they are new. but i seen these on trademe and got them for $300 they are a wee bit older but have never been used so im happy with that. it is a tdo5 twin scroll the manifold i have was made for that type of turbo and i think it will be sweet for a 2.0 pinto lol dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock-Lee Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 haha, I know Im not the fastest worker but I have made some manifold progress. Do you want me to keep going and build it for you? or do you want to sell me the throttles and some injectors to suit for a certain engine of mine. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
