Lol i forget exactly how they did it, but there was a lot of modification of the body involved. It doesn't count as an excel at all anymore, its more like one of those dirt rally cars lol

A friend at uni have one of those type of cars, he bought it for $6k.

It has a 4 door Proton sedan shell, but underneath all the performance bits & pieces are EVO things (engine, transmission, brakes, suspension etc etc).

That thing is a nice little sleeper, it can easily out-run my slug box R33 & gets no cop attention at all.

Makes me what to do a project Camry with Supra performance parts if I had the cash.

has anyone actually superchrged an excell ? i heard u can , f*k imagine the power to weitght ratio lol anyone know of a person to do it lol ?

I would have thought the original excel's engine would probably go boom! :)

What engine do they even have? 1.6?

yea something like that it just bolts on but yes i reckon i it would go boom haha lol

:

oh yea ,sorta like the one u can get for r31's gives ya around 80-100kw instant gain without f*king around with the ecm,

check out the 31 supercharging link though looks pretty cool :,( dunno how true this is has anyone u know have done it ?? )

Dude that sounds like an absolute load of crap to me. That much of a gain with no changes to the ECU? How the hell would it know to inject more fuel? You would need to upgrade injectors and everything, stock ECU probably couldn't handle everything it needed to even with a retune, i imagine you would need an aftermarket ECU with a tune, otherwise nothing would work

Yeah you got a point there. They should make some sort of metre that detects air flow in relation to the amount of fuel it needs, then it talks to the computer somehow via magical electronics and sends the right amount of fuel to the amount of air the engine gets. That'd be awesome.

It can't be cold air though. Else that's bad for the engine.

Lol yeh you would have to fix global warming first, then make sure that the temperature stays exactly the same everyday. Probs a little easier to just get an ECU lol

I'm not sure if you guys are joking or if you really don't know what a f**king air flow metre is...

So I'm going to back away from this thread.

Martin drives an N/A so go easy on him. :P

Lol i was joking mate haha.

But an air flow meter cant accommodate for the huge increase of air that would be getting sucked in if you got a supercharger. You can't just bolt a supercharger on and everything will just work itself out, things need to be updated. The stock computer and air flow meter are made for the stock air pressures, you cant just pump another 10psi in there and expect instant 100kw gains

Lol yeh they are very basic cars, made purely to get you from A to B, and depending on whether the thing is still there, back to A again

if it makes it back to A again , ive seen three in the last week on the side of the highway lol and a cresida

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
