DELCOS NEW RIDE

[vlad01]

Yeah I know of one fella who is into them, only a shitty old hilux and the amount of times I see that thing getting fixed due to breaking something off road is astounding lol.

expensive exercise.

I personally only do offroading using old falcon paddock bombs as I can just get the scrap metal guy come pick it up once I'm done.

Damn yeah, lots of coin in the 4x4 stuff. My old boss was into it. We built is hilux at work over one summer. 350/350 engine/trans combo, custom extension housing on the trans to mate it to the transfer case. 36" supper swampies, suspension lift, custom bull bar with big winch, full steam pipe roll cage, radiator mounted in the tray etc.

First time out he rolled it, caught it on fire, dented every panel bar one including popping the windscreen out. burnt his fingers with battery acid due to the roll which forced the bonnet down across the battery terminals starting a fire. He put his finger in the hole in the battery to try and save it.......

After all that, he still towed out his mate who has a 380 chrysler engine in a Hilux surf wagon who blew a couple of CV's.

A workmate is looking at a Nissan Patrol with similar mods as above as he's gotten the bug as well.

couldnt get any avgas today bit of a bummer but still got it running. went to start it and it was so empty it wouldnt even start must of evaporated away we drove it in there LOL.chuck 4 or 5 litres of pump gas in there on the avgas tune fired it up on axle stands run through the gears checked all the fluids.then we had to have a small attempt at building boost 7psi with the tyres just starting to turn less than half throttle looks like a win so far.some avgas tomorrow and time to get it on the ground and see just how far we can go butits looking like a win looking like we are going to have the same launch rpm but 10-15 psi more boost at launch LOL i have a fealing we may go more than a little bit into the tens if we can still hook it up

yeah I can speak first hand for how much a few tenths in the 60 foot makes!

so whats the converter change higher stall than before ?

[delcowizzid]

Same stall but it's a nitrous converter. Has anti ballooning plates front and rear and the direction of the vanes is totally opposite to stop it flairing when you hit the nos or boost seems so far to do as advertised

[Holden202T]

ahh right so how did the test runs go today hehe ?

[delcowizzid]

just waiting for the owner to turn up with avgas and oh yeah i have to maybe burn a new chip it may have gone 11.02 on the backup resistors LOL havnt had a check engine light for a while and yesterday found the power feed to it broken reconnected it and key on yip light works start car light stays on Hmmmm goto flash codes nope light still hard on no flashy flashy.fit a new ecu and do a few check tonight before we go driving its been starting and idling a little off every now and then maybe this ecu is toast or maybe the eprom is dead after we had an ecu die and the car kept shutting off mid pass

[Holden202T]
