    Mv does well and im a fan. I have had 2 turbo falcons and both reliable drivers both stock cams and engines bar a decompression plate.

    Stage 2 kit in 1993 and the set up I have now in 2016. Can do a flat 13 second pass and barely go over 4000rpm.
    I like them but you are right he is getting on in years.

    Back in 1993 it cost $5500 so not cheap bank then.

    Latest way more than that. Parts $7500 alone

    Keep your head up. I refuse to send anything of decent value through Aussie post. Magically lost more gear than I care to talk about with my old race car. eBay was a classic, they say it's sent give some bull crap tracing number from a pre purchased post tag.

    Be mindful to ensure the person sending the product has proof and photos of the tracing number on the parcel. Sometimes supplier bullshit to with get more time or other reasons.

    I only do Dhl with insurance for proper cost gear or rare.

    Keep on them both the supplier and Aus post.

    Good luck

    I have spoken to mike vine up in brizzy,he has some sic turbo stuff.

     

    He has done two turbo crossys for me one in 93 and one near 2 year ago. It's Very nice work and reliable. Mines stock internal with springs and punches 16psi totally reliable (allow for driveline a upgrades though)

    Surge tanks and lift pumps are just dead weight in a drag car mate shouldn't need it, just run the efi pump directly off the fuel tank.

     

     

    I have a 36-2 chopper wheel and magnetic sensor to suit ATI that was on my old motor if your interested.

     

    True but you need to be mindful at the drags with efi to run with hall a tank as the tanks are very flat.

    Just safer really and probably debatable

    Good luck with the build. Sound like some work ahead.

     

    FYI Having owed an old mike vine stage two xe, I know he had three stages to choose from. I got a stage 2 which was the below above the stage 1

    twin strongberg carbies,

    extra heavy duty clutch

    and 1.1 bar boost so about 16psi.

     

    No meth but same water injection system as stage 1.

    Yes it had a green light that light up when water injection was running. Had a 5 litre water tank that you had to check and top up if you were on it too much.

     

    Pretty hard to remember what rwkw but at was around the 190rwkw. Brutal turbo lag but fun as hell.

    And the tyre shop that fitted it is at risk too. I know tyrepower has refused to fit some 275s on a 8 inch rim I asked for. Only way they would was me sign a disclaimer and I they would not fit it to the car. My was for circuit racing anyway so not for road use. Like you said allot of people do it just like spacers. Still way way better that running on no tread at all which endangers every road user. Think of the positives. The amount of cars I follow with one half the tyre bald if amazing

    Not to mention efi easier to start. Sometimes on a cold morning back in albury in the xe turbo blow through I had in the early 90s I could be there 5 minutes trying to get fuel up and yanking in and out with the choke getting fuel up verse flodding. It was a twin cd strongberg mike vine stage two. After a few mornings I got some aerostart and fixed that issue , much easier.

    Efi all day pricing cash is available fir tuning etc

    xelisty what size turbo is that on the vine manifold ?thankyou for your pic's,i live not far from where mike vines is,maybe i should take a trip there and see whats on offer.

     

    It's a new garret GT3788R

    Very good turbo combo with very little lag. It will produce positive boost from 1100rpm and spoils very quick.

    Mike did a great job on mine

    Boost does cost plenty. My combo was $7500 just parts inc everything from turbo to Haltec ecu. Then a truck load of labour from the builder. I got the hole thing done and just got the car delivered all done and tuned.

    310rwhp stock engine at 16psi with double valve springs. And de-tuned above 4000 for reliability/t5 manual strength.

    Yes the turbo does cost to fit but so reliable and simple.

    7 letters what ever you want for $185 in the nt.

    Slimline, couple of colours and types etc makes no difference last I checked.

    Still times change.

    It used to be $50 for them few years ago hence 80% of plates in the nt are private plates.

    There was some beauties before they cracked down on offence plates.

    Friggen crack up working out meanings when I got up.

    Most of the good ones are gone now due to complaints

    I still see fcr4me around so maybe by chance that is his/true initials

    I just got a etreme heavy duty so called rated to 400hp plus. It feels good under foot.

    I'm Heading to the drags tomorrow so I will let you know.

    Has a good take up without too on/off feel. I ended up going a machined flywheel instead of new or newer model

    Flywheel.

    It's a t5 and crossflow turbo 310rwhp at 16 pound boost and 2.92 gear

    It will be tight, you may struggle to find tyre shops willing to do it if you take your car to them and although bloody unlikely Insurance may kick up a stink if you crash or are at fault in a bingle.

    I've seen 305 on a 8 inch rim but looked pretty strange on a street car.
