Thousand Dollar Supercar Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Awesome! Looks in good condition, but if repaint ever required, these look good in two tone red/silver over black: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 yeah, my wife wants to paint it. sadly the budget doesnt allow for panel and paint yet (or mags). i kinda like the small dents and scratches. My son and I dropped it off at Woolf mufflers today to get the exhaust manifold made. hopefully its not off the road for to long. going round to a mates tonight to cut the TB off and weld it to the other end of the intake manifold.

Poo Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 The decals along doors are sweet as.80s transformers vibe i was thinking more along the lines of 'Stormtrooper' more than Transformers. but i like the way your thinking. and yes decals are staying.

Poo Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 so now i am on the hunt for another throttle body. the one that came with the multi point injection is only 50mm. mite go on the hunt at PickaPart..... i am thinking 65mm . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuel Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 try a Diamante throttlebody, they are about 60mm. VR-4 and Evo ones are around the 55-58mm mark. The 50mm SOHC throttlebody is still bigger than the 45mm odd one inside the throttlebody injection unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 cool theres a diamante at avondale pickapart, just down the road from me. i'll go on the scab later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 check orientation of the motor in the diamante, 95onwards switched sides so the throttlecable comes from the opposite side - could work to your advantage if flipping the throttlebody to the front of the plenum. Most have extra crap on them for traction control etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSM Garage Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Would the petrol Pajero be the same? I heard they are sort of bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 yeah I would say so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 am pretty sure I told you that would happen with the turbo - you could low mount the turbo with the turbo inlet on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 did you? i cant remember (i have an appalling memory). and it doesnt work low mounting it. the turbo gets a bit close to the alternator and the intake is too close the the radiator pipe. will probably have to remount the wastegate actuator as well, but thats easy. i am thinking it will be a top mount and run it close to the brake resivoir. headers, and dump pipe will be HPC coated and then wrapped. then some sort of heat sheild made up. i really dont want to have to get another turbo........ but it maybe easier.

fuel Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 you could angle mount the turbo - the way I was going to do was kind of a mid-low mount with the header pipes coming up and then bending back down to the turbo inlet, like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 i did think of that kind of setup as i was typing the last response. it could just work/be a pain in the arse to change spark plugs. but that is cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 it shouldn't be more difficult than it is at the moment, it's basically just header pipes in place of where the turbo was originally. Given you have a bit more room between the cylinder head and the brake master and strut tower in a RWD car as opposed to a FWD car between the head and radiator which the above manifold is designed for, you could simply elongate the distance between the head and where the turbo bolts on.

Poo Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 you could simply elongate the distance between the head and where the turbo bolts on. thats what i was trying to tell them. i dont think they listen to me, cos i turn up dressed in my fancy work clothes. next time i'll turn up with with my overalls on and hands covered in oil.

Poo Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 ive heard sone of the down sides of wrapping an exhaust manifold is that it can cause the pipes crack or rust like buggery. what i was planing on doing to my exhaust manifold is: heat treatments, to stress releive the manifold. HPC to coat the manifold then wrap the manifold. should i wrap or not wrap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 If you HPC/whatever proper ceramic hi temp coating stuff it you don't need to wrap it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
