Time flies...the uc has been pretty much unloved since that last post. mad the treck back from Townsville to sydney at the end of 2012, where it sat under the carport at my place for a year as i had bugger all room to work on it. recently moved back to wollongong and have alot of room to work now and the uc is due for some love.

 

i have always wanted to do a blow through turbo setup on it and in the early days i was planning something very similar to bombers grenade setup. i did however really want to set it up like another forum members uc(rb3torana) and when he put the turbo manifold up for sale, i jumped on it and figured i would go from there

 

i have been collecting a few bits and pieces and have pretty much everything i need to put it together now apart from an intercooler, but there is plenty to do before i need to worry about that.

 

my wife and i have just had a baby(early december) so i dont have much spare time at the moment but as a bit of time frees i will try and get into it. its good finally having some decent shed space to work in. Anyway, a few pieces of the puzzle is all i have to update now

 

the car as it sits at the moment, a bit neglected

turbo manifold

12 port head, ported, stainless valves, roller rockers

rat wheel

carb and manifold

Very nice Stinga, 

1st post of page 3 too, huge turbo and Aussie speed manifold should do much than the old cain ones. 

is that it Stinga - all looking good, cool thank's for updating. Dave I

Got some time to play in the shed this arvo, waiting on some studs for mounting the turbo and i need to give the inlet manifold a tickle for some clearance. hopefully get a chance to do it on the weekend

 

 

looks rather large in this pic

Tell you what, that manifold looks efficient and the Turbo is the Owner of a guard, Very Nice. Dave I

[Stinga]

Carb hat turned up in the post today

 

[Stinga]

more post goodies. probably give it a rattle can black job when the time comes

[Stinga]

Cheers Jed, i had a good look at yours before buying this one. not sure how i will go about mounting it yet, any ideas?

[Stinga]

haven't had time to do anything productive yet. waiting on the adapter to turn the carb sideways

You can't run the throttle bracket thing with the turned carbie can you? I would like to on mine but there isn't any room lol.

This is a pretty damn cool project

[Stinga]

yeah, there is no room Heath, i will probably just hack it up and keep the return spring part of it and rig something up on top of the rocker cover to hold the cable

[Stinga]

not yet Jason, why's that?

[Stinga]

when i get a bit more free time im planning on giving it a quick paint, wont be anything flash. just white.

 

few bits to tidy up before then

 

need to fill a few holes in the engine bay and make mounts for the radiator and intercooler

I was thinking of doing similar on mine.

[Stinga]

i didn't make it jason, it was made by another forum member for his uc

[Stinga]

the mrs ducked out this evening to pick up our daughter from her mums place so i ran out to the shed, tickled the exhaust manifold with the grinder and they both fit now time for an in car dummy up
