Re: Survey about website changes

+1. There are more active people on Facebook than on this Forum as we know, but I'm always going to come here for any info and of course to update anything on my own projects (which I don't really do on the FB page). I'm all for keeping it the way it is currently, I even liked the layout change from...

Re: Mat's F8B - EFI and Turbo Conversion.

Haha thanks Matt. It changes the drivability, even being a low boost setup, it's such a fun car and I can't get over the dose noises :lol:. Once you boost any motor it gives you that thought to do it to another. The bug is biting and I'm considering putting a snail on my G13B Sierra. Definitely goin...

Re: Mat's F8B - EFI and Turbo Conversion.

On Wednesday the Boy got its tune for Boost. The day started off towing the car trailer with my brothers Hilux until we got 2km down the road and the Gearbox blew up :roll:. Swapped over to the 'reliable' Landcruiser making it to Hervey Bay with no dramas at all. After half a day wasted and a succes...

Re: Mat's F8B - EFI and Turbo Conversion.

Intercooler mounts done, with the price of the threaded Aluminium weld-on's, I decided to drill and tap my own out of some solid round bar. Cost me less than $5 to make them up instead of $20 for pre-made ones. I would also like to get a bracket for the top of the Intercooler so there is less stress...

Re: Mat's F8B - EFI and Turbo Conversion.

From what I thought was an issue with the Turbo leaking oil in the Boost side of the Compressor housing, wasn't an issue at all from what I have found out. I have read a couple of Forums on Turbo oil seals holding the oil in the cartridge when there is Boost pressure when plumbed up to the Intake fu...

Re: Mat's F8B - EFI and Turbo Conversion.

New improved dump pipe is done with a thicker 8mm flange. I have left the whole edge around the flange as it was pointless going round the bolt holes and taking the same shape as the gasket (its such a pain to cut that shape and smooth it out), leaving more surface area for bolting back up to the Tu...

Re: Mat's F8B - EFI and Turbo Conversion.

Boost pipes are now tacked up, ended up exactly where I planned on running them with such a tight space to work with. Hot side starts off at 1.5 inch and steps up to 1.75 inch to suit the intake size. I'll also make a support bracket for the pipe closest to the intake, right where a top mount Interc...

Re: Mat's F8B - EFI and Turbo Conversion.

I really just assumed what cruising would be like anyway with an RHB31 (going by what it's like just free revving on your Youtube video). I'm actually surprised that it doesn't make 1-2psi just cruising for how well it spools on free revving :-o! The GT12 isn't really like that as it starts to spool...

Re: Mat's F8B - EFI and Turbo Conversion.

Back with some exciting updates. Manifold is welded up, took a bit longer than expected but looks great otherwise. Coolant lines are sorted which was easy as tapping into the bypass hose and back to the thermostat housing. IMG_5171.JPG IMG_5176.JPG Made some gaskets out of 1.2mm aluminium as the pri...

Re: Mat's F8B - EFI and Turbo Conversion.

Couple more things done, O2 bung is fully welded and oil drain is sorted. I was going to use the F6A sump but the oil dipstick fouled on the baffle and the dump pipe also touches slightly. Because my setup is custom, the angle of the oil drain on the F6A sump is pointing the other way, so I thought ...

Re: Mat's F8B - EFI and Turbo Conversion.

The AN fitting on the oil return has been cut off close to the flange and a bit of tubing from a spare oil pick up was silver soldered in place. The fitting on the original flange wasn't going to work as it needed a 90 degree fitting which would restrict flow to the sump and be too close to the K-fr...

Re: Mighty Car Mods might have a Mighty Boy

It has been a while since your last YouTube video, would be good to see an update with the changes it has had over the years. It just keeps getting better and better with the little things you change on that mad ute!

Re: Mighty Car Mods might have a Mighty Boy

Classic Mechanical Stig, what a great event then! When I watched Moogs short video of the car line up I thought "hmm I wonder if Brayden is in this line up", there you were a few cars in giving it a little squirt. I lost count as to how many times I played that bit over and over!

Re: Mighty Car Mods might have a Mighty Boy

I was all excited for a reveal of a Mighty Boy, especially with Marty's love for small Japanese cars. Good to hear you got a chance to talk to them even though no doubt the Snot Rocket would have drawn lots of attention. I was all ready for a chat with the boys back at the QLD meet and they got abou...
