Im currently trying to sort out some of the fuel system. Is there any efi fuel hose that is ADR apporved and compatible with speedflow/earls style AN hose ends?

Thanks Phil i guess should check that with the engineer aswell. Im running an 044 pump, im thinking about running a -6 from pump to the rail and the same for a return? Does this sound right or would the return be sifficient as a -4?

Thanks Lincoln, i purchased some fittings/lines the other day... going to be running -6 for supply (and probably same for return). I think the standard cossie rail only has a 3/8 inlet barb on it anyway.

I have a feeling your 500 setup will require a bit more fuel than mine especially as the revs climb.[88] Are you using extruded aluminium rails or the rs500 items?

Hey Nigel hows it all going draining the wallet i imagine, just a quick question i've noticed your intercooler and idea of not going through the guards with your piping. do you have enough room to have bends to fit around your raditor..? do you have a radiator yet? If so what size etc are you using...? any pics

Cheers mate, Luke.

Thanks mate, i figured something like that would be needed to be done that seems to be the problem with this kind of the conversion everything has to be fabricated nothing off the shelf like for jap cars, half the fun i guess.

Yeah got a shifter just need to find a short shift for it feels a little long. Good luck with the rest of your build.

Cheers Luke

Just another small update,

Pro 5.0 shifter from the states, thanks again to Phil for organising the groupbuy. Also Simmons fr17's in the background. These are yet to be painted and polished (outers).

Hey there Nigel i was wondering were you got the turbo manifold on the pinto you had ? .I know that was a long time ago but if you remember were you got it & how much that info would be very helpful. o'h did it clear the brake booster if it was fitted ? Thank

Its been a while so time for an update. I got my hiluxs diffs back from a mate of mine who has been doing way too many favours for me!
The blue hilux was set up by promaz many years ago for a s2 rx7. As such it had the ends of an rx7 diff housing welded to it to run s2 discs and calipers.

I was going to use this diff until i stumbled upon a standard narrow 70's hilux housing at the wreckers. So for $80 for a housing, and $30 per axle i figured it was best to start again. I had escort spring mounts welded to both diffs and sold the blue one to fund a new diff centre.

i currently have a 4.4 locked centre but this will probably change to a 3.9 lokka ratchet centre or torsen lsd.








I also had a non-adjustable watts link welded to the new diff. The watts link shown was only for reference. A new centre with rose jointed arms will be made once on the car along with link brackets from the chassis.

This setup may change when if i end up doing a four link, although this would be after the car is registered.
