jeeez that looks horn bud

That's just SOHC porn ........

Looks nice mate, but with E85 becoming more available, why wouldnt you use a big injector ie 1600cc indy as you will no doubt be looking for more than the 875cc can supply with the GT42? ---------- Post added 16-12-10 at 09:43 ---------- have you considered using a GTX3582? T04z power with GT35 response... if this is predominantly a street car, you might find the GT42 is a bit of a pig

With the turbo me and the tuner made the decision I hope with a small rear housing and the right convertor it will be ok wish me luck lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You will need different lines, pumps etc.. its a whole new fuel system. I would be steering clear of the GT42 as i dont think you will put enough boost into it to get it into its efficiency range on the street

As i know the size and type of fuel line i'am running is right for e85 and i was thinking of running a aeromotive eliminator fuel pump or something bigger ? cheers for any help ? As for the turbo , i trust the person that gave me this info and i'am confident it will work thank you

That's cool man, just chucking some suggestions E85 is highly corressive so you will need Teflon line Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I dont know anyone that has changed lines to run E85. I havn't read what fuel pump you're using but if it can flow heaps of fuel you should be fine. 2 x 044's will do the trick.

bigears. where did u buy that oil cap for the rocker cover ???? looks sweet.

Very nice mate, looks as if your going about things the right way and doing it all properly. Everything looks mint man. Keep it up

any progress on this mate? looks like it was going to be a very mint build.

That is so mint, you should just put it in storage and throw a cover over it, selling it would be a big mistake

so it comes with the turbo conversion or you are parting t out? as it sits (n/a but a few mods and very tidy) I'd think asking 5-6 is reasonable however it will be a slow sale. 3-4 would be a quicker sale for a n/a wagon no matter how clean it is.

If i was in the market for a wagon, this is mint. I would pay up to $4500 for a n/a vl.

bummer to hear about ya wagon...so tidy that berlina looks great, would have snapped it up ages ago if i had the cash...and the need for 3 vls what are your plans for it?
