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....

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
