Funny you say that Scott. Im just in the process of doing that exact same thing. Ive also finished the alloy airbox and will have to post some pics. Hopefully finish the front bumperettes tommorrow. Will get them chromed at a later date.

the only other thing i,d do would be to either powder coat or paint that intercooler, so that you have no idea what it is underneath. then whack some 1300 badges on it.

I must say that this car is as nice in the flesh as it looks in the picsVery nicely done Josh[;^)]

I was lucky enough to see this car yesterday and it is truly awesome. An absolute credit to its owner and an inspiration to those of us starting out on the road to rebuild!

Cheers,
Scotty P.

g'day JamesR
I used a Holley blue for the surge tank priming pump as i knew it would be able to outflow the delivery of the Bosch 044 main pump to the injectors. Holley reds could end up starving the main pump if it was driven hard for long periods of time, eg racing.

Its actually Marks old pump. Works great.

geday just thought i'd say how much i love this conversion looks like a real sleeper untill you pop the bonnet of course.

I had a question for you, with your intercooler i have noticed there are no extra vents put in the front for cooling. How does this work, as in does this keep everything cool...? becuase here in sa i have had a couple of intercooler/radiator people saying i will need to add in extra vents to do the job with a intercooler that looks the same size as yours. Of course i dont really want to because i would rather it look a bit more sleeperish rather than having a big bling bling intercooler hanging out the front. I wont be running the sr20det i will be running a cossie turbo, but that shouldn't really matter probably, they probably produce the same amount of heat.

Cheers Luke

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, i was looking at putting 5 x 3 inch holes across the front but haven't got to it yet. It seems to be running quite well even on 38 deg days. You can feel it working when you pull up. The temperature is notably different to the touch. It wouldn't hurt giving it some more airflow though. I then just have to find another place the put the number plate.
