RAWDEAL

Ive used several different disk and drum brake rear end diffs in the back of my xb that was originally disc / drum.
 
The only dramas i had was when i put a disc rear end from a Ed wagon, it felt like there were hardly any brakes.. so i bled it 5 times and then tried clamping the rear brakes as a troubleshooting thing .. and it made a huge difference. Ea rear was fine but the ed they must have changed something
 
But anyway ive put xc xd xf ea disc rears in before and i never had any dramas
 
Id just try it and see how it goes.
 
Has anyone got any pics of this internal proportion valve? Do they come out in only disc /disc car xbs?

what sorta power could u have with those t5 gearsets? 
 
the quicktime bellhousings were ~800 last time i sussed it outfor a t56
 
the main cost of the conversion is what price you happen to get the gearbox and slave cyl for
a new slave is 800 or less .. 800 gets you a awesome one
a commodore box is a lot cheaper and has the speedo output and shifter in the right spot.. 1500 would get you one
400ish for a tailshaft to be made up
clutch could be carried over with a friction disk swap, or buy a new one
i used an XB master cyl and i got a braided line made up 150 for the line 
crossmember im not sure about.. i adapted plates onto a xb auto one and drilled a hole in the middle for the t56 rubber
 
so its not TO bad

i changed it to dex3 made it sorta worse lol . gearbox is rooted

i will be buying a 5L bottle of transmax z
 
i will let everyone know how it goes

I am running a quicktime bellhousing, cant go wrong

you wont have to cut the car up , but you will have to stuff around a fair bit with wiring / tune to get it running (or pay someone and it basically becomes a plug and play ecu setup)
you can swap and match up parts to get it all to fit without cutting the car. the worst most major thing is getting the sump cut and shut

try that link , they make loom kits and source other parts to make it much easier
 
for the price id honeslty just get a standard FG motor from the wreckers , fg turbo manifold, t56 from a turbo, bolt that in , buy a loom kit for the ecu and wiring side of things
and if you wanna turbo it just run 6-8psi it will hold up fine , people are turboing the n/a motors more and more now

I was eyeing off a kit that has that catch can included 
 
but it will not work with where im gonna put the power steering and turbo 
and for 250$ i could make one that fits better for what im doing , i have it on the passenger side now next to the radiator

Alright, so update 

These arrived today

fuck they are grouse quality! The rib around the base that the gasket seats on is at least 6mm thick! 
 
I have been impressed with every Aeroflow product i have bought so far

it has 1 female thread on each rocker cover at the front
 
tommorrow ill order some 1/2" ( dash8 ) hoses and fittings .. its cheaper for me to run it from each rocker cover to the can, because the 2 peices they have plus 2 extra fittings to go on the T ends up way more expensive

the catch can i have is approx 1 litre, prob 1.5 i have not measured it 

it has a drain on the bottom and a breather on the top.. 2 female fittings on the front of it 

i MAY run a PCV from the top of the can instead of the breather, and plumb that back into the base of the carb 

A turbo'd 200ci was the quickest 6cyl in Australia wasn't it? Was in a blue Cortina from memory. Would've revved nicely. lol. Would probably be a good thing to have, quick as fk and a bit different to everyone else.

A bit better than the carby'd Barra i saw in a speedway car a couple of days ago, the dizzy was hanging out the front of the head with a shitload of silicon around it!! lol.

My brand new super low king leaves were just over 500nz. <br /><br />Then I put in blocks, it settled and now toooo low.

i wouldnt use any stock valvetrain past 3500rpm lol

So today i fixed the bottom hose. it has a spring in it now. 
 
also i have tested the themostats
72c orignial one that was in it , is fine and opens at around 70
81c high flow i bought today, opens at 81
81 normal flow i bought a while ago, also opens at 81

im gonna install the high flow Tridon Themostat, and see how that goes.. i really cbfd taking the themostat housing off again so hopefully this works

We have a Fordson tractor out here , one of the first diesel ones. Its hard to believe they made tractors to run off of just kero to get out of a fuel tax haha

I am into contact with Kendall baker
 
I will test the waters , i have a bad run with mechanics / anyone who touches my cars

Im gonna try to get a dyno tune in ASAP.


More on my Build thread. but basically Its going to be just an EL ecu and dyno tune, if all goes well ill send the head off somewhere 

I like how you have done the lines, my lines are fully flex , no steel lines , so i have to cable tie the shit outta it so it doesnt touch the engine lol

yeah if you push down on the front left it doesnt really go anywhere lol, sitting on the bump stops
 
41 year old 6cyl coil springs rest in peace lol

Yep i run thermos, msd 6530, astra pump, ect and mine runs fine with a EB v8 alternator

ALWAYS Solder EVERYTHING !
AND THEN HEATSHRINK FFS

is another good tip.
