Looks like some dollars have been spent on that. They run a similar intercooler set up to what we have planed.

How do the jap powered cars go at speedway?

Iv'e found the answer to my question :-

Here a bit of info for the guys interested in building a cheap race car for dirt circuit. This car was started 12 days ago by a couple of novices and may be almost ready to race this weekend. The car (something a bit different a Hyundai sonata) was free. The materials for the roll cage cost $170 and the whole cars should be built for approx $500 - $600. Check out this thread it has some good info on how to fit the roll cage yourself and eventually will contain all the info to build a sedan based car.

still no new car in the garage it is still sitting in a shed that we cant access atm due too a muddy track :-( but on the bright side i picked up 2 rear tyres for it ....thank god for friends with sprintcars i scored these 2 that only had done 1 heat race on them

well actually i could damo these are 94 circumfrence x15inch rim size x 15 inches wide i grabbed the small ones they use . they use up too a 105 circumfrence x 15 inch rim x 17 inches wide . but there 410 ci alloy moter pulls just a bit harder than the 308 ive got lol

Hey Dean, Here's another option. Chris Noth on the Truro raceway committee has this for sale :-blown, injected, 350 Chev. It was last run in a commodore super sedan from Roxby and as you can imagine was insanely fast. It's a pity they banned nitrous a few years ago. A bit of laughing gas would make the 308 go hard.

yeah damo still sticking with the 308 cause i have one sitting here already just waiting for the pistons too rock up then will send the lot in to be balanced and will put it together .

i really dont want too spend a lot on the donk so if the car runs c or b grade so be it im really only after a bit of fun thats reliable and cheap ..but if growley custom cnc wants too buy that blower and sponser me a deal im happy to buy low comp pistons lol .

cheers all more pics as i go along

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
