Hey guys, I just won a turbo kit on ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/200812445919 ... 500wt_1203 and have a few questions for those of you that have turbo'd your e series.
1. How strong is the auto gearbox? any mods recommended for it? 2. Am i able to get away with just a cross over pipe if im only running 4 - 6 psi? or do i need an intercooler? 3. Will the stock fuel pump handle a variable rising rate fpr? when boost is around 4 - 6 psi? 4. where is the best place to get an oil feed from? can i get away with a sandwitch plate for the oil filter? Thanks in advance guys

1. Auto will be fine with low boost providing its in good condition now.
2. People have done it but its a fairly easy power increase having an intercooler, I'd strongly recommend having one 3. No. Stock fuel pump will struggle can get walbro 255 l/hr pumps for under 150 dollars and there is how to install guides on this forum. 4.easiest way is with a t piece where your oil pressure sender goes under the inlet manifold

Yep it was cheap alright.
So what ECU or chip you going to use? Man if it was me I would be intercooling it get ride of the dreaded heat and make a few KW's on the side. We had this same sort of set up to start off with we ran 8lbs boost suing a Bosch 440 and serge tank external plus a Sard 1:1 adjustable fuel reg, 36lb Bosch injectors and a Wolf V500 ECU "Wolf have a plug in harness available for E-series Falcons", 3"system. The guy who did the tuning was it was a bit of a prick to tune but we did end up getting 232rwkw. I will get shot down and a new one torn for saying this ok but here goes in my view don't settle for a chip like the J3 as am example go for a quality ECU it will pay off in the long run. One more thing the standard head gasket will fail sooner or later when it does go for a MLS-R 1.2mm head gasket. Get that compression down. Anyway best of luck.

Looks like you got a nice bit of kit mate for a good price !
I'm setting up something like this pretty soon and will be running the compression housing to the TB. Down the track I will install an intercooler. Will be very keen to see your build thread on this

Thanks for all the responses guys, have just swapped the bosch 040 that i had in my exa into the falcon, and have 3 more questions.
1. can anyone upload a pic of their exhaust manifold that has an external gate? as I havent dealt with external ones before, only internal ones haha 2. a pic of how a rising rate reg is hooked up on a fuel rail? I have a BEGI one, and its quite big and not sure if it would fit there haha 3. what power could i be expecting with a 10 psi spring in my wastegate? Thanks again guys

If your going to use a Bosch pump you shouldn't need a rising rate reg a 1:1 will do the job better for example a Turbosmart 600 would be awesome.
10psi well maybe you should be looking at a around the 5 to 7psi boost first. The log manifold you have I gather it has a access fitting for a external wastegate???? if not you will need to have one added or run internal wastegate. Remember a good quility ECU is the way to go.

I only have a variable rising reg, but think I can staticaly set the rate as low as 2:1 rate, only have 10 psi and 15psi spring in my waste gate, and yes the manifold does have a pipe off it for one. As for ecu, have a spare ms2 that I'm going to use
