Finally got around to getting some new flywheel bolts this arvo, ARP ones...but I'm not sure if it'll be going back together just yet, I have something big in mind for the car and I haven't made up my mind whether I'm going to drive it as is for a little while or wait until I've gather all my secret bits and pieces for it. Chances are I'll drive it as is because I'm pretty sick of driving the NX that's for sure.

efi and turbo it... do it i dare you.
or u could scrap the 2l and put an sr20 in it like me haha

Well, stuff it, I can't be bothered trying to keep secrets haha...you guessed it Matt, efi and turbo is the plan. GT28RS to start with (will probably change the rear housing to maybe the same as the HKS GTRS once I get used to it), and 50mm side draught EFI hardware throttle bodies, like theeeese.



For management I'm grabbing a Microtech LT8S.

Oh and I'll need a decomp plate, I don't really like them, but I have to do it haha.

Anyways, watch this space I 'spose.

i don't think you'll need the throttle bodies if your using forced induction.. money would be better spend else where, have a manifold made up with a single throttle body or use the sierra one

Very good point...even the XF throttle body would be enough come to think of it.

Better yet, a mate has a brand new 75mm Holley t/b that he doesn't need so I might even do that, I just need to start saving pennies for everything else now...I can't wait to go HSV hunting.

another thing you could look into if you wanted your throttle bodies is run a fuel rail setup on your manifold and take out the chokes and aux venturii's in your weber/dellortos and you would have a nice set of 40mm throttle bodies get the injector bosses from efi hardware and try and track down a factory fuel rail that lines up, i picked up a vl commodore fuel rail and pump for 30 bucks at the swap meet today, i've got access to a tig welder at work so will come up with something when i get around to it

Not much progress...picked up a 75mm Holley t/b that's going to sit opposite a GT28RS very nicely one day.

Also, the standard steering rack needed some TLC that I'm not prepared to give to it, so I ordered a 2.4 turn quick rack for it.

So I'm in a bit of a situation...I don't know whether to get the car resprayed or get the turbo and EFI gear happening. I had a motorbike fall onto another bike, then on to the car tonight and it's ripped a sh!tload of paint off. The whole car needs a spray anyway, and now that there's some missing paint it seems like a good excuse, but then again it's not the end of the world because the primer is still covering the bare metal.

At the moment I've got the money for one or the other...

What would McGuyver do?

From a practical perspective it might be an idea to do the EFI and make any modifications to the engine bay area permanent and then respray the lot.
