Ja1lb8 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 viewtopic.php?f=17&t=32721 Turbos are 2j, Want to run the sequential setup but thats alot of plumbing to fit in a small hole , Leaving the engine as is and if it breaks it breaks, I think its about 11:1compression so cant put much boost up it just about to order some shockwave airbags out of the states for it. Ill see what I can do about the photos cause those really do suck being so small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ja1lb8 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 just put up some photos of the body shell taken a few days before it was shipped to nz from the states Got carted interstate from one of the middle us states, not sure which on but came off a sioux indian reservation on closer inspection of the shell i think its been rolled on its side or more likely had something land on one corner of the roof as its quite buckled fortunatly i have a spare roof buts thats one job im really not looking forward to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUL8R Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Pics of bullit holes please! lol What sort've theme are you aiming to acheive with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ja1lb8 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Im at a but of a crossroad as to where this going at the moment. Its getting airbags so its gunna be low but tossing up on wheel choice, I really like the traditional bigs and littles 15*10s and 14*8s which is what i had on my last chev and it really looked the part, great stance, but if i go that route i cant my big brakes in there which i think is a must when you start making decent hp and weigh the better part of 2 tonnes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha was in Wanganui today and saw an old lady, at least 70 get out of her white twin carb honda shuttle Just wanna get the body mounted for a start, worry about paint (if any) after that Roof needs replacing cause its a but bent and wavy so might as well give it a but of a top chop while at it want to keep the bumpers and chome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Much work in making the turbos fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ja1lb8 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 The turbo manifolds are a long way from finished, just cut the flanges off the 2j mainfolds and welded the 1gz flanges on , still need to die girind heeps out of them and put some steam pipe bends on the end to fiinish them up, I just welded up enough to prove to myself that i could get it all to fit for a start Got an old lathe the other day which used to be my grandads so been flat out in the shed machineing up parts thats have been backing up Got the big brake conversion mocked up now and it looks like it should work a treat. Used hq stub axles and hubs, machined the disk off and machined the inside out of the toyota century disk so it all slots together with the right offset for the calipers , still have to make up some sort of plate to mount the caliper to the stub axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
