So I spoke with Mike Vine turbos today, a very interesting conversation, seems they still have a few parts left over including a few exhaust manifolds, mainly to suit the iron head crossflow but they believe they have a few AIT manifolds in storage to suit the later Alloy head engines. Â Not sure if I'd want to go the iron head route...they are so damn heavy compared to the alloy head and even the old log head. Â Up side of going with an iron head, I can get the Manifold for a T4 turbo for around $350, I can get access to a rebuilt iron head with big valves for less than a grand, and lastly I still have 2 and 4 barrel cain manifolds left over from my old cortina project, along with a lot of other bits to suit... Â Shame the head is so damn heavy.... -
https://www.hotrod.com/features/ccrp-0603-1963-ford-falcon-futura  Something like this US falcon setup but maybe without the 17 psi boost to kill head gaskets.  I'd probably get a slightly thicker head gasket made up to help drop the comp ratio a bit, try and keep it around 8.5 - 9:1 off boost should be alright for PULP 98 on the street.
-
I was thinking of a gt3576r or 82r on a setup like this for the XB. Â Been recommended a 2 barrel holley, but really dont wanna run a holley.

Pulsar have a bit of following and seem to be developing forward. Luke @ Motorfab using hem on his Torana. Luke @ sema @ 6 minute mark on the pulsr Stand  -
I was thinking of a toned down version of this.  The Pulsar G42-1200 seems to be extreme overkill in my case...I dunno if the 750 quickfuel would be necassary either as I'm chasing roughly half the power, but I love the idea of this car.

I wonder if the little turbos were intended for the AIT twin turbo kits as that would make sense as two of those would blow enough air to feed a 4.1. Â I remember seeing lots of articles back in 80's of the twin turbo XF's and the AWD monster that got trashed in the UK. Â I'd imagine those kits being very collectable nowadays.

an exa turbo on a 1.8litre revving to say 6000rpm ish probably at 7psi is probably comparable to a crossflow on 4psi revving to 4000 ish ..
is probably how they came to do those types of kits,Â
they'd been a big low/mid range boost and not be too taxing on the stock drivetrain or require brake upgrades most likely.Â
if they wanted to make power, they'd have needed different everything  -
Maybe, the AIT kits did, I would of thought the Exa would of had a tiny turbo from factory, but who knows, dont know m7ch about those cars. Â TO4 seemed to be the go to turbo during the 80's for turbo crossflow setups. Â It would be interesting to see the improvement that the old Mike Vine and AIT kits would have with a modern turbo like GT3576R, I'd imagine turbo response and spooling would be massively improved.

The car's in pieces at the moment, but I can dig out the turbo, for a close look I read once, the kits used Nissan Exa turbo's or similar? -
That's cool always like the AIT kits for the XE XF falcons.  Do you know what size turbo you have? Normal the kit would of had some form of TO4 attached.  I was thinking of seeing if Mike Vine turbo's still had t4 flanged manifold availible as they were well built and compact.  The other option is a 6boost manifold, a bit pricey but very nice.
