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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
