that looks like a killer
how long did it take to get evey thing done from start to finish? and how much would somthing like this cost? also how much harded (if any) would it be to use a xr6turbo instead?

Is that a turbo engine with the turbo stuff removed?

No, it's just an N/A engine with a red painted rocker cover. But anythings possible

after seeing that car - with the engine, and the seats, and the wheels.. two things come to mind -
1 ) just buy a BA/BF?? and 2 ) That's pretty f**k awesome... respect. Cheers

No its not a turbo engine but it will be in a couple of week. We wanted to
get the engine in the car and running before we boosted it. Its the old saying of crawl before you walk. As for the seats there from a ba tornato. If you want to know any info on the conversion im happy to help. Owen. |

A few questions out of curiosity... What are you doing about the missing bolts in the gearbox? Is that good enough? What's involved with setting up the electonic throttle? Will my e-series pacemakers line up if i get the bolt holes slotted? Would the abs in an el complicate things? Is there any way to lower the engine to avoid removing bonnet supports?
Sorry, that's actually a lot of questions. |

It isnt good enugh but it will do for now. ab_futura wrote: What's involved with setting up the electonic throttle? The BF Accel pedal was a fairly simple bolt in with a few brackets and the auto sparky just wired it up. only a few wires for it. ab_futura wrote: Will my e-series pacemakers line up if i get the bolt holes slotted? no they are totally different ab_futura wrote: Would the abs in an el complicate things? it shouldnt be to hard , hardest part on the EL is the speedo i think. ab_futura wrote: Is there any way to lower the engine to avoid removing bonnet supports?
we are working on that at the moment, a quick modification the the engine mounts should lower the engine 10 - 15mm this will hapen over the next few days |

yes it does, would be one of the fastest EB's around. much better than a V8 conversion. And since Owen has done it all himself the final bill is under $5k the whole car is a real credit to Owen |

sorry for the probably dumb question, but could the sump be modified like the AU motors? just grind the fins off? or are the sumps even bigger again on the BA's? and yes i know its totaly different motor before u give me s**t everyone

the oil pump/pickup is further forward on the BA motor so you cant easily modify the sump like an AU motor
