For about $50 you could get a nice smallish intercooler to plumb into it. I couldn't stand running any forced induction without an intercooler. :P

i would for the awesomeness ... but its not the best idea

cos fuel vapor mixes from the carby into the induction system, one lil carby backfire could blow the front of the rolla a new a$$

But thats more of a concern for a suck-thru system. Your blow-thru system could take the intercooler between the turbo and carby. :P

picked up those drift gauges from vince this arvo (boost, water temp and oil pressure) pretty keen to get em in the rolla.

they are pretty sexy n im tempted to put em in the 32 lol.

only reason i dont think i will is i currently have boost, water temp and oil temp... im not heaps keen on replacing my oil temp gauge with oil pressure.

wish me luck butchering the dash to get the gauges in lol

Doesn't happen on blowthrough setups, 10yrs ago i had the same setup on a ke10

before going efi, the biggest problem you have with the stupid things is carby sealing

on hi-boost(16+psi), mine use to blow out carby gaskets all the time.

cheers

it can happen, just far less likely than it is with draw through.. while the carby is backfiring I'm not even going to consider it lol.

I blew carb gaskets on the old carb that was only at 8psi too. the weber I have now should handle the 10psi I plan to run nicely

I still have a custom fab plenum lying around for an L16, L18 or L20 motor! :thumbsup:

Might find a nice tidy auto 120Y, drop in an L20, Mahl pistons and Waggot cam and supercharge the dam thing with EFI. :)

If you drop in an L16...using stanza struts as a brake upgrade, it will be a legal conversion... :sick: ...then blow it.....i miss my datto's....had 4 different ones back in the day

I've had a total of 6 or 7 dattos over the years. Some of the most easy modded and fun cars ever. Parts interchangability is huge.

    • Yes, I know馃檮 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole馃ぃ
    • You鈥檒l be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don鈥檛 do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30掳 silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30掳 silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
