i had a nissan urvan with a 5 litre ford on nitrous ....not nice in the wet.....but scared the sh** out of everyone (including me) at the lights....it ended up up near tamworth

When i was younger and sillier i put a 454 chev into a HR holden.

And before that a 250Cube Falcon 6 in a Morris Minor

Put a 350 chev in a 240 Z.....and also a 350 into an XJ6 Jag

Just finished and SR20 in a rodeo

Can't help my self......What i would like to do is put a 13b in a Morris minor...any takers

A vg30 in an EH holden would be nice too

seen a white mk1 escort, with a 378 cube clevo in it.

also, i nearly bought a white hi-ace van a few months ago, with a 302 in it.

on the fantasy front, i think a ovlov 240 with the entire running gear from a gtr would be amusing.

guy aroung my area, name is SOUTHO on these forums i think, has a old cressida with a 1JZ in it. but unlike other modded cressidas this one looks totally stock even with a stock exhaust. now thats a sleeper

Southo has a 2J not a 1J, and the exaust isn't stock, just well thought out :D

I have a 1978 TE Cortina with a 1JZGTE, GT30/40, Haltech and a locker :) .

I got the cooler to fit behind the stock grille and sprayed it black and all piping/siclone clamps. The exhaust is 3 inch turbo back but with a massive rear muffler and sounds just like a 4cyl below 2500rpm.

The brakes are covered up with Ford AU 5 stud persuit rims, all my gauges are concealed (boost gauge in air-con vent temp gauges below dash on brackets).

The only thing that gives it away slightly are the bonnet pins (needed because lots of structual material/bonnet catch taken out to fit cooler) and my 09ONE plates.

There has been manya upset Clubsport/XR8 Owner and maybe a Porsche 993(?) owner as well. Most turbo imports don't take too badly to getting beaten and are pretty interested in the car.

It just so happens it's for sale as well... :)

One of the guys at work has a Mitsu Mirage with 3L V6 Mivec engine in it from a FTO. Engine's mildly worked etc and it goes like a scalded cat !! ( I don't like front wheel drives though ).

Also, there's a guy driving around Sydney in a Jaffa Orange Volvo 240GL wagon that has the drive train from an R33 GTS-T fitted to it. It's not a weapon but has HUGE potential to be one !!

Actually, there are also 2 Volvo wagons running around Syd with 308 stroker's in them ( one light and one dark blue ). I got raced by the light blue one a couple of years ago and it caught me way off gaurd !!!

FTO's engine is a 2.0L V6 Mivec. I considering doing this conversion to a Mirage. 150kw in a 900kg car would make it pretty quick.

2JZ-GTE into a EH Panel Van is a sleeper conversion. There is one in Newcastle.

My buddy has got a Mirage with the 1.6L Mivec motor in it and all the running gear out of the zMirgae's they used to race in the Mirage Cup. It was putting out 148kw on the front wheels, scary torque steer!!!!

Yeah, the Mirage Cyborg-Rs were a decent hot hatch. They were set up to be a Civic Type-R competitor, back in the day....

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
