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.

    • My first thought is to use something like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/goof-off-177ml-adhesive-remover_p1580913
    • Here it is nice and clean and for shits n giggles he's the clearly structural piece of trim it was holding down. 😬    
    • A lot of the trim pieces on the E39 are super brittle and just dissolve when you try to get them off. It looks like a previous owner has used what can only be described as an industrial construction foam adhesive to glue down a tiny piece of trim.  Unfortunately this part of the tailgate is starting to rust because of how much shit is in here. This is stopping the water draining and there's a big build-up of dirt that is just staying wet. How can I remove this? Would a flap disc get rid of this?  I think this car spent a lot of time inland. There's so much light coloured, fine dirt and dust everywhere.  Sorry for the pic. I've cleaned this all up now so I'll get another pic of it clean today.
    • Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.
    • Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.
