kyteler Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Fuck yeah, Sidie turbo. I think it's a potential avenue for the 110 if I ever get NA bored. Good stuff man. Twin charge it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownslow Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Cheers guys. Haha yea it's something different and still goes like a cut cat. Twin charge might over complicate things but would Definately sound the part. Has anyone had experience with those H beam conrods on eBay, that seem to be rediculously cheap? $330 a set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lownslow Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Cheers. Yea I might just get the ones on eBay I guess. Need to find some reasonably priced forged Pistons as well. But goes good as it is at the moment so I will focus on the suspension and brakes next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

120why Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 sounds cool. what have ya done with the fuelling side of things? sealing of carbs, pressure reg etc? Also keen to know! also how have you fabbed the exhaust manifold? This thing is where its at! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownslow Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 hey not much really, just a VL commodore fuel pump with a malpassi rising rate regulator plus return line to tank. Running around 4-5 psi fuel pressure. The carbs were easy because the lotus elan came out factory dellorto turbo, so you can buy all the neoprene carb sealing kits off ebay, plus the special carb top caps. The manifold is just made up from steam pipe bends. Cheers for the comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
