Tommo Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 Well the stock exhaust and carby are choking the new engine badly, and the stock carby is really a PITA!I'm fitting twin carbs, and to do so I need extractors (for clearance) and this means a new exhaust as well. (can modify yours, welder + me = mad fab skillz) So size doesnt bother me too much, just need to do something to fix it and then when its sorted I might get a proper exhaust made for it. Pretty flat out at the moment, I'll probly send you a pm to work out a time soon Chappo. Keen to help out if I can Tommo, turbo sounds good! thanks heaps guys :) yeah I'm probably gunna but it either tomorrow or sunday! its a pretty good deal if you think about it :cool: Quote

Once you get some extractors are you going to take it to a shop for them to do the rest? Quote
KENut Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 sounds fantastic! how much all up ? hmm not sure really, about 1400, with exhaust and carbies inluded closer to 2000 Will be tops with a new exhaust! Once you get some extractors are you going to take it to a shop for them todo the rest? Was thinking I might just get someone to bend up the pipes, then weld and fit it myself so its how I want it. Or bodge chappo's old one. Not sure where to go for extractors? Saw some new ones for 160, can't remember brand though. Quote

Are you going to be making mounts for the suspension setup of the R31 diff or keeping it a leaf rear end? Quote

I do have all of work off this coming week because of a concussion/head fracture/contusion from Big Day Out, so I think I might get it done in that time :hmm: Was thinking could just have the fun part and have a BBQ; OR fully strip my KE30 minus the rolling bits so I can work on the body... Then have a BBQ |blink| Quote
